more fude pen play . . .

Last Thursday on Instagram Mike Daikubara and Marek Badzynski talked about fude nibs — for nearly 1 3/4 hours! (Yeah, us art geeks can get totally carried away when we’re having fun! The video can be found @mikedaikubara by going to his profile and clicking on the center “tv” icon.)

I got my fude pens out to play along. At one point, Mike mentioned a Lamy modification, reminding me to get mine out and ink it up again. This sketch page of random stuff laying on my footstool is the result.

The last photo shows scribbles and notes made while watching the video.

My own collection includes a Duke 209, a Hongdian Dark Green, a Hero m86 (body not shown here) — I removed the bent nib from the Hero and put it in a Noodler’s Creeper body, and my Lamy conversion nib — I think instructions on bending the regular Lamy nib can still be found by googling “Lamy Fude Mod”.

UPDATE: the Lamy Mod instructions can be found HERE.
