BLACK SABBATH's Final Performance Was Livestreamed To More Than Five Million Fans Around The World

Fountain Pen People!
I really like the Pilot Extra Fine nib, it's my fav so far (fine is okay as well, but extra fine even better) but I have the Kakuno and the grip part is bothersome as it's so thick. I have a Platinum Plasier and it is so much nicer to hold and use but damn the nibs in it suck.

Questions:
1. What other pen could I put the pilot nibs into that are shaped better? It does not look like I can get them into the Platinum Plasier sadly.

2. What else writes exactly like the Pilot Extra Fine nib but in a skinnier pen? If you love this nib, what other nibs do you love?

Getting to grips with my first #fude #fountainPen #nib

The contrast is incredible. It's not entirely predictable in my hand yet though!

Also I'm using a Diamine shimmer ink that seems to be refusing to shimmer!

Der Mitwoch im #nib hat mit seinem wertshätzenden Personal und Mitpatient*innen mindestens gebracht, dass ich gestern beim Beobachten der rumrennenden Kinderauf den Spielwiesen kurz dachte ich schnale mich mal ab undschaue, wie schnell undweit ich zu fuß werde. #strokediaries

There has been some art made lately, but I have not been posting it for whatever reaasons. Some recent art has been focused on attempting a project.

Anyways, I traced some circles here, with the intention to be able to make stickers! These are not stickers yet.

Here is most of them so far.
Acrylic ink and distilled water applied with a G nib / dip pen inside of pencil traced circles.

Is now a good time to talk about … Nib?

#vintage #handwriting #history #question

I would love to see styles of antiquated handwriting, to model.
People used to be so good at writing, because writing by hand used to be important and meaningful.

I am probably most interested in examples from 11th to 17th century.
The sweet spot in the middle would be 14th century, but there were amazing examples all through this span!

So what I really would love is... access to resources that are hundreds of thousands of sorted images, or everything a specific scribe or writer ever did compiled cleanly in a high quality pdf,
and like hundreds of thousands of those.

Possibly entire digitised libraries of antiquated hand written books or papers from historical documents?

Can anyone point out some references like this that are high quality and expansive?

I am not against resources in multiple languages either. Handwriting is so cool.

Thank you!

edit: there may be collected letters, official historical documents from court systems in public facing collections, original scans of the books, notebooks, letters, and writings of scribes and authors that are long dead, which could suit my interests! If you have any leads, please let me know!
Especially scans from personal journals, notebooks, and manuscripts when possible!

Just a little fonts practice.
Bonus points to name the book the excerpt is from, from memory?

from.
(I sometimes just grab the top line of whatever I am reading for nib practice lol)

This is an acrylic painting on paper which uses a G nib in place of a paintbrush!

Paint is diluted with water for emulsion enough to use with nib, mixed thoroughly for correct thickness.
