Good stuff Rick. My handwriting sucks, and I don't have the patience for proper calligraphy, but I like to play around with the pens every so often. Even using them as normal pens, it looks more interesting than a regular ballpoint.

Thanks Lx. I write exclusively with fountain pens, and now I'm buying up dip pen nibs, etc. It's a sickness, really ;-)

Snazzy penmanship Rick! I like the one that says "Thank you" "dick" haha. And the 2nd B in Badger is badass!

I like the "Thank You" page too. I did that with a Pilot Parallel pen though, not a dip pen. I could do something like that with a dip pen, but it would take FAR longer.

I'll post updates of the shiznit I'm working on, from time to time. Thanks for the kind words guys ;-)

Below is somewhat a freestyle, italic with gothic influences. I learned gothic first, and I still love using it, but it's more fun and faster to just do a "version" or mix of the two, lol

I like hiking, jogging and doing Tai Chi outdoors, as well "wind in my hair-bugs in my teeth" motorcycle road trips with moto-buddies. I'm also bullwhip trick cracking enthusiast and a martial arts nut, and prefer to practice outdoors whenever possible.

Those are some cool photos, Lassy. Never seen dual bullwhips before! Is that part of one of your martial arts or a seperate thing all its own?

ignore the stupid mistake at the top, lol. I was just practicing and didn't want to waste the paper...I'm not satisfied, but wanted to just work on offhand flourishing

Its a separate thing....but there's an martial art called "Latigo y daga" (Whip and dagger) that I like to practice, so I guess whips does play into martial arts. Double whips are fun....until I smack myself in the eye learning a new trick. Yay for safety glasses.

And yes...Honda....Shadow VLX.

That's so awesome! My sister tried to teach me calligraphy once....I can't even draw stick figures well much less do calligraphy. Great work!

Thanks, I've been reading, practicing, watching vids on YouTube (invaluable!) and then blowing through a TON of ink and paper, lol. I love whips, have a 12 footer that I used to be quite good with. Have to dig it out and play with it, but I'm sure my teenager will terrorize his siblings and the pets with it ;-)

Kind of reminds me of myself and nunchaks and an elbow 30 years ago

LOL, me too! I don't know how many times I smacked myself in the arms and head with nunchakus and 3 section staff.
