The Copic Gasenfude is a disposable, nylon bristle tip brush pen, and something I’d been wanting to try out for a while, since Copic’s only other brush pens, from the Multiliner series, are felt tips.

The Gasenfude has been available in Japan a while, but not many reputable online retailers had it available until recently, when a version of it finally released for US markets. I picked one up from the Copic booth at Emerald City Comicon this year.
On a routine pen refill order, I impulsed the Kuretake ZIG fudebiyori metallic pens in gold and silver to make free shipping.
Last year I played around with various gold inks and gold acrylic paint, but other than the tried and true Uni-ball Signo gel ink pens, I haven’t really tried many metallic pens and never a metallic brush pen… These were a lot of fun.
Apparently, I bought the Winsor & Newton watercolor marker in Payne’s gray sometime last year and promptly forgot about it, but it works out because now I can follow up on my review of the Winsor & Newton pigment marker sooner rather than later.

I found this Winsor & Newton pigment marker still in its individual clear wrapper while straightening up my desk the other day.
I’m pretty sure Winsor & Newton was handing them out as a promotional item at a convention last year, or at least, I don’t have any record of having actually bought this marker myself. Which is good because I don’t like it at all.

A few months ago I made an important discovery: international long and short standard ink refill cartridges fit the Daiso brand fountain pen.

This is great to know because Daiso stores are pretty inconsistent as far as what they stock regularly. What’s there one week might be gone the next, never to be seen again. My local Daiso store has had their fountain pen in stock pretty consistently for the last year or so, but it’s always sort of a surprise. I always expect it to be gone.
