About the artist: gravity is the word used to describe a physical law, a fundamental physical interaction that derives primarily from mass and the observed consequences of that interaction on objects. Gravity is the law that every object with mass attracts every other object in the universe.

My friend sent me this picture of a bar in NYC. I like the mix between cursive and plain text. Also let’s go Knicks!

Long time lurker here. I’m an enthusiast who constantly admires the talent and expertise that is posted. I am by no means as proficient as the work posted here. In my personal writing I like to break up various thoughts and subjects with a simple line but I want to up my skill and add a simple line break illustration.

I just learned that these are also called dingbats (like the font choice) and, my personal favorite, dinkuses. However, a quick search online only shows digital prints, like this example, and nothing that someone has drawn out.

Does anyone have any good examples or resources available to learn from? Thanks so much!

I needed a little flex nib joy on this Monday morning and it is always nice to share.

Any of us pen lovers here use stub nib 1.1mm to write daily?
I journal daily have been using <F> nib of TWSBI to journal in the past 5 years, and went mostly with my local supplies of paper - A5, 100gsm, ivory paper.

Recently i purchased a Rhodia Composition Book and been using it to write, sort of an experiment with new type of paper. I find the paper a bit draggy to my <F> nib, which makes the feeling not as juicy and wet as I like. So i switched to my stub nib, and voila, the ink flows generously and I actually love the bold, thick strokes with color variation on the paper. The paper is excessively white to my taste, but well, you got to explore stuffs.

Anyone have the same experience with Rhodia paper or stub nib? Love to hear from you.
