I'm not really an artist, so participating in Inktober wasn't something I was particularly pressed to do. My coworker asked me if I was going to do something along Inktober's lines with fountain pens. And I guess I kind of did.

Let's take a look at a bee-lightful ink. Sorry.

We're back! Thankfully the power outages have stopped, hopefully for the rest of the year. Let's take a look at a brand that I haven't used very much in the past couple of months.

If you haven't heard, our wonderful and so fantastic privatized utility company here in Northern Calfornia, PG&E, has decided to turn off power when the weather meets the perfect conditions for a wildfire. This in lieu of years of power line inspections and upgrades (investors need their kickbacks, of course). With fires already raging in the North Bay and LA area I hope everyone is safe and able to find refuge. I'm luckily very fine, with the worst to deal with the frustration of the outage.

We'll (hopefully) be back next week—barring another blackout, of course.

Robert Oster Khaki is such a fascinating color. Let's take a deeper look at it.

Hey, another Robert Oster ink!
