a little “fatty”

Just for fun, I recently bought this chubby wee fountain pen with a fude nib — and it is surprisingly comfortable to sketch with! It has a fude nib but a regular nib is included. It needs no cartridge or converter — the whole barrel holds a huge amount of ink, filled with an eye dropper, also included.

Since it is an eye dropper pen, I rubbed a bit of silicone grease around the threads as an added precaution against leaks. It is filled with a “burnt sienna” ink that I mixed from red and black De Atramentis Document inks.

Also just for fun, I gave this pen a name: “Lugg” for Magersfontein Lugg, who was valet to fictional sleuth Albert Campion. Lugg was once a burglar but “lost his figure”, becoming too fat to burgle any more.
