I have a thing for oddball, clownish pens, and one of the great repositories is the plethora of 3rd-tier pen companies from the Golden Era of the 30s-40s Wild and wacky celluloids ruled, and I snap them up on a whim, like this one.
So I purchased the following pen (BIN on eBay), a true "no-name" and it got to me a few days ago. Two days later, my artist pal, Jeff B, posted an oil he did in 2008 titled "She Dreams of Chaparral Shoes" and it floored me how similar the vibes were. I wanted to commemorate the serendipity, but the only way was truly quick-and-dirty: the pen is hovering over the artwork, which is being displayed on my iPad - not an easy shot! Enjoy the riot of color, and go check out the wonderwork of Jeffrey Beauchamp.
Cheers,
Jon
