I had my buddy Ian at Schon Design put this together for me. I've been pining over his titanium monoc nibs for quite a while and I'm a huge pocket six fan. I probably have about four of them at this point but this pen is unlike any other pen I've ever written with. It's stiff yet smooth, really flowy. The reverse is a super expressive perpendicular italic sort of profile.

I've got it inked up with Noodler's Liberty's Elysium right now and I have just been enjoying this pen so much that I've barely posted about it but thought I would share with you guys.

(Edit: added nib material)

We've had our newest gecko, Olivia, for about a month. Our previous crestie, Gek, was not really a huge fan of insects but with Olivia, you can see a switch go off in her head when she sees these little worms and she just loves them. She just downed about four of them today. I haven't seen a lot of people use silkworms as feeders but from what I've read they seem to be a really nutritious, viable, and low-maintenance. I'm curious what everyone else thinks.

My wife and I had a quick overnight trip to Amagansett on Long Island to go see a music show and gladly remembered to bring my plein air set up. Before we headed back to the city I was able to get a really nice plein air beach session in. I love painting on the beach (even if the tripod ball head doesn't :D ) It's a fun challenge to work through the perspective of a long beach so I'm really happy with how it turned out.
