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
