Thanks to everyone who put on the MPG this past weekend. It will probably be one of the highlights of this year for me. Thanks Mark for taking a picture of my pen. I finished it a day before the event so i do not have pictures of it at all. I took the liberty to adjust the pics a bit but this is more a reflection of the colors. I am excited that this pen will be traveling with the other greats of the IAP.

Here is a bit of the process.

It is a modified Magnetic Graduate pen. I started with a piece of wood and turned it down to size. I sealed the wood so the paint would stick. Let this dry for a day. Then I hand painted the design. Let it dry for a day. I then did the line work with a couple different sized pigment fine tip markers. I let it dry for a day. (Painting and line work was about 15 hours). I finally finished the pen with CA.

Hope people enjoy it as much as I did making it.

Jon

That pen is beautiful! It was a privilege to see it up close, handle it, and talk with the artist, Jon Tello. Check out some of Jon's other work at hellotello Jon, it was a pleasure meeting you. (BTW, I'll let you know what I find out about that engraver. Hope to have time next week.)
