Memorial Day 2014
Posted on May 26, 2014 by p.j.
I think the title of this one says it all.  A grateful nation thanks those who not only sacrificed their lives, but those who sacrifice those who gave their lives so we can remain free. BTS (Behind the Scenes): I pulled out my old Speedball nib on this one.  For those who don't know what that is, it is a pen nib that you dip in an inkwell.  Man I forgot how I love using these things.  The ink just flows off the tip.  No forcing, no arguing, it just does.  It frees me to do what I need to do, draw. Not as convenient as the Fabers and it's horribly dangerous (spillages),  but I might have to give in and start using this on a regular basis. Have a nice Memorial day for those in the States and a Bank holiday for those who aren't.  Canadian's, sorry mates, guess you go to work :P .

    Great work for Memorial Day PJ.
    Carl almost looks like he’s printed on Lucy’s T-Shirt

    Wonderful tribute, P.J.! I’d say you have an affinity for dip pens… it really shows!

    Canadians had Victoria Day last week, so we got our day off this month. It doesn’t carry nearly as much meaning as Memorial Day though…
