Call me a Liberal..

BUT POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

.. Maybe that's more communist...

Anyways.

Rage Against the Machine got to Xmas number 1. Let alone raising over £70.000 for shelterbox + the profits from the single got to that and youth music. Now homeless people will have a nice christmas :D

But it has also shown that this country isn't ruled by.. captalistic natures. Let's be honest here.. All it would've done was earn Simon Cowell a lot of money.

Also,Every year without fail the Xmas Number one is always X factor... There is no competition, heck they even stopped betting for it was pointless betting against it.. Now the betting was back and RATM wasn't the favourite... So now this has brought back teh spirit of the race for number one.. rather than making it as predicatable as well.. Everyone dies say.

Thus.. It's raised money, and it's shown that the people can work together for a common aim. It's a good day today

KILLING IN THE NAME :D

This morning I received my pen order from 'JetPens' and talk about fast.only five days has passed since my order was put in.
(Just to let you all know.I DO NOT WORK FOR OR KNOW ANYONE FROM 'JetPens' also all the photos I took from the 'JetPens' site because I just did not want to take the time to scan the sketching and work I have used with them.It's also 6am in the morning.

O.K. onto the pens I have and have tried out.
First up is the reason for the order in the first place
The Pentel-Pocket Brush Pen for Calligraphy


Now don't let the 'calligraphy' part of the name fool you.this Brush pen is just what I was looking for to replace my brush and inkwell that are a real pain to bring out of the house when I want to get out of the studio. In the studio it also is a big help.There is a draw back,But it might be because I have only just started to use it.The ink seems 'thin' and some strokes have to be done twice.but you do get to keep a brush point at all times.and it has 2 refills that come with it.
At $12.00 this pen will be going everywhere with me.

So onto the second Brush Pen.and this one I really love using and can't stop.
The Pilot Pocket Brush Pen-Hard


First,the only bad I found is the ink is the same that is in the Pilot Precise V5 pens we have here in America. which is not bad if your use to using those which I still do.
the tip is long enough to use with a ruler and if you don't press down hard you can get a nice fine line. This pen covered all the things I wanted the Pentel to cover.
sadly,this pen is a disposable.So it looks like I'll have to order a few because of the use I will be putting it into.
The cost for the Pilot was $4.50

Now here are the Disposable pens I picked up just to hit the $25 dollar mark for the free shipping.
The Zebra Disposable brush sign pen-Fine

and here is The Zebra Disposable brush sign pen-Super Fine


These are good for what there for as throw away pens.
I am happy I tried them out and I will keep them as sketch pens and just all around back ups at my drawing board but nothing really great about them that the Pilot already does.matter of fact it takes these two pens to equal the one Pilot brush Pen.
the cost on these were $2.25 each.

Now if you think you might want to check these Pens out or see there other products, here is the link.

With more and more tools out there for comic and manga artist and these tools of the trade don't seem to be reviewed often by people like me who do the hit and miss purchase or get the advice from another artist on a really great tool.

I think I may start adding this to how I will use my blog.
