Member rus… Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 the ubiquitous graphite pencil they are all good. Mostly. The oldest know one was lost by a Bavarian Carpenter in 1600's Link to comment
Member Nic… Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Left to right: Parker ball-point—Isn’t that sleek as a 707? I’ll click it again! Sheaffer calligraphic pen—laborious and needs a good warm-up. 3 mm mechanical pencil—handy for developing drawings (the top harbors an eraser). Uni Ball—good for notetaking in Moleskin. Parker fountain pen—smoother and faster than the Sheaffer. Link to comment

Member Bre… Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 Is this the type of movie you watch in the afternoon with a glass of shiraz or the type that you watch at 3am with lots of cheep beer by your side? Link to comment
Member Bre… Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 Dually noted. I shall write it down on my Moleskine "Movies to Watch" list with my faux Montblanc. Link to comment
Member Ric… Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Since we’re talking about wuxia films with ties to calligraphy, “The bare-footed kid” by Johnnie To (the hero learns to write with a broom) and “Hero” by Zhang Yimou (parallels between the art of calligraphy and the art of the sword are a major plot element) are a must.
