   Four Thousand years of Pen & Ink

Pictures of Your Loved Ones: Think of the Children

That's the Title of my Show Ladies and Gentlemen. God will provide and this time it was the greatest art movement in history. Bic just hit the one billion ballpoint pen sale mark and that"s just on company within the Industry. A ballpoint pen has been used for signing official documents or treaties for decades and had proved it worthiness with those endeavors. Then it became the best carbon copy maker that revolutionized government, business and recording sector of society because triplicates of materials could be filled.

Domestically it became the most popular or practical writing instrument in history. That upgraded mankind and regulated higher standards of normality throughout the world. Pen & Ink pens have regulated that standard or mark of excellence for four to five thousands of years on this planet we all live on! Pen and Inks have ruled the globe for thousands of years as the most outstanding writing or drawing instrument. Pens are the oldest, greatest and most used communication instruments in history. All other tools are measure or compared to our pen systems now or throughout time and I mean pencils as well!

I used a pencil for five years before graduating to a ballpoint pen. Pen systems simply rules over the pencil for many reasons if I was to be asked! However, I did learn what black and white drawings were all about during those fives years and that experience could be called the good old days. However, very few National Museums featured graphite! Extra-fine ballpoint pen tips with an oil-based inks were the cutting edge of a camera-ready graphic art world. The subtlest graphic line in history as a matter of fact. A deadly never dulling ink producing line of sophistication!

Pen and Ink has been used as an art medium an historical archiving tool before any others. Our pens almost totally controlled both fields of interest as a writing and drawing instrument. They say oil paintings are the king of the fine arts, well pen and inks are masters of the graphic plus writing world's for thousands of years. Pens have shaped or elevated every corner of this planet not just the art world! Pens ruled thoughout the entire world not just the art community. Pens upgraded writing, carbon copies and our graphic art communities worldwide. The King of Kings. Some of those pen were used to write our bibles and now to draw my pictures. God is Good, amen!

Throughout the ages inks were always something very special when considering the world was being elevated by them as humanity was being archived with them. The greatest book of history the Holly Bible was writing with them and that has referred to as the Good Book. That's because Father God Almighty's words are Good! India Inks were the best because they were or today are ISO or DIN rated archival. The first writing and drawing archival quality medium. Needless to say oil painting or other art mediums did not even show up for many years later. Our pens ruled the writing and drawing world thousands of years before other mediums even showed up! Does that make ink a classical medium or the original? Like I earlier stated, all other mediums are compared to the ink world, as being the first.

How many pens have been used throughout history if Bic alone sold over 100 billion? The ballpoint pen is the most popular or used pens because of production and our earth's population. Just about everyone out there reading this has a pen. In my days every report turned in had to be done with ink. Most Kings, Queens, Presidents or Emperies throughout history used a pen. The world used them for written and visual communications thousands of years before about all other media or medium became got produced or invented!

Throughout time many things have been used as a pen or its inks. The ballpoint pen is the most produced or used than all other pens or mediums. All documents throughout time were signed with ink as were all old time books, scripts and manuscripts. While those written materials were being done art works were being made. That's what made us what we are today as a people or society! Pens helped build, elevate, archive or recorded mankind's history. Cuttings, pottery, garments, wood and other tools or crafts items were around.

A ballpoint currently has some colored ISO or Din archival rated. That means most dip, tech and ballpoint pens now have archival inks. That adds power and strength to our fellow brother and sister inkers of the world. Use conservative ink art medium artists just keep passing on our great medium loved by all. The Industrial Revolution slammed pen and ink as a medium. Camera's, silk-screens, engravings, wood/tile cuts, etchings, and the printing presses removed the strangle hold pen artists or writers had on society for several thousands of years. Check out history books in universities or colleges around this country I did and those finding will surface. Silk screen inks and garment dyes produced brilliant colors yet pen ink remain black.

Even today thousands of years later pen's inks are geared into dark or archived colors. This year on the Internet that changed when Fisher put out 10 different colors plus ISO or DIN rated colored inks arrived on our marketplace. Finally, brilliant colored oil-based inks have arrived, yah!!!! The ballpoint is the only oil-based ink system in history and for some reason(s) out sells all others throughout time. Synthetic resigns are acid free, brilliant in colors and archived as well and is what today's inks provide. Another tremendous asset to the pen and ink art movement or fellow inkers.

I always thought pen and ink was very weakened as an art medium because of no colors. Pen and Ink was among the first art mediums mankind ever came up with yet went thousands of years in B&W or without color! Nature arrives in color and so do many people that like colored art works. Color is an universal things and black ink just didn't or doesn't fill all the bill. Today, brilliant ink colors are available plus many people using them do draw with. That's about the best news a colorist inker could ever hear. Finally ink hit the big leagues when those dark colors came down the pike.

Archived ballpoint multi-colored inks are the greatest things to hit the Pen & Ink community in four thousand years, Eureka! The art world values archived art medium, colors, quality and detail. Now inkers can deliver that to the commercial and fine art communities for profit or fun. I personally thought the fine folks around here might desire to know that. That, great news was brought to you by a fellow inker or me, Jerry. If anyone ever asks? How, I look at that information in a positive frame of mine determines what becomes of it!

That's news worthy because its something that will change the world just like pen and inks have in the past. I started using a ballpoint pen for art in 1968 knowing most of that. I researched many place to up date any materials in that area of interest, My American folk art program called, Ball Point Pen Art is based on this information and historical significances. History either works for you or against you. My folk art program is to provide a place for other self-taught American artists could publish their drawings for free. Another one of that folk art programs is to introduce a ballpoint pen to the world as an art medium. Five years after that project began multi-colored ISO ballpoint pen inks came onto our marketplace.

My folk art program looks at J.J. Load and his first United States of American ballpoint pen and patent of 1888. Mr. Loads ballpoint pen was invented and patented in the USA therefore it's an American National Heritage plus part of our culture. My folk art program was established in the states so it's a national heritage as well. Most artists in the world are self-taught. We're the backbone of the art world throughout the planet and many of us are with a ballpoint. That's why I also published International ballpoint artists because ballpoint ink drawings are an Internationals tradition or embeded into our cultures. Somebody had to develop a constructive program, art, information, facts and Internet publishing network to present it to the public of 938 million surfers.

Throughout history different groups of artists started their own schools of thought or art movements. All through history our findings indicate groups of people starting up art movements become the core of such often in history. Prolific artists also become recorded or archived as significant producers because of their great contributions. If we can learn from history this would be a good place! History records what got recorded the most as in news on this Internet.

The Internet changed the rules. History before got gathered then recorded. Today, I can publish millions of bytes of art or information and have it found everywhere around the world. Your art, succusses, achievements or other related blessings can be published world wide by you or I. I produced a location that would introduce and document ballpoint pen drawings. We're some of the people out in this world drawing or promoting ballpoint drawings. We're also the first people to publish our ballpoint pen drawings worldwide as a progran or groups. That news worthy, ballpoint pen art history in the makings plus in real time.
