I hope this is in the right spot.
My name is Shawn Newton and I make fountain pens.
I've only been doing that for about 1 1/2 years; before that I was a print maker. I still carve a block every now and then, but mostly just at school - oh yeah I'm a high school art teacher, too.
So recently I wanted to take my printmaking and roll it onto a pen.
I'm using your standard relief engraver's burins I bought from McClain's art supply. Probably not the best tools but they're what I have. I'm open to suggestions.
I've been looking around the forum for the last couple of weeks checking out the amazing work and getting inspiration for the next projects.
