Bamboo-zled - Custom Jinhao 82

Don't worry, it's totally understandable if you think there's a very tiny, stylized, unrealistic bamboo forest trapped in this pen.  Totally! 

This design was entirely hand painted meaning it's entirely unique and one of a kind. This is something quite different from what I usually make.  I was inspired by both Chinese ink painting as well as the graffiti I would see whenever I visited Chicago.  I loved taking the L (shortened from 'Elevated' transit) and seeing what new art I could find as the buildings rushed past.

Jinhao 82 pens are fantastic for beginners.  They come with a converter so that you can choose which bottled ink to use and refill it without worrying about adding more plastic waste to the landfill.  You can also use the converter to flush water through the pen to clean the feed and nib.  The nibs and feeds are friction fit which means it's easy to take apart and clean or even to swap out the nibs for different sizes!
