Would love to try the kuretake Fudegokochi. The folks at jetpens actually emailed me after you posted and told me they are ordering it ... so they should have it in stock soon. Kat- I think you're gonna like the signo, writing or drawing ... Flaviano- I love Muji's pens too ... but I don't think I've tried their brush pen ! I will be in NYC in July and a stop to Muji is an absolutely must ... will look it up. Gerald- I want to visit Seattle ... never been ... Anthony- Excellent! Glad you found this helpful ... and congratulations !! Our daughter and your son were born just over a month apart ... exciting times ahead ... :) Stuart- they probably contacted me because of this blog and sketchcrawl ... and yes, free pens to try are pretty darn sweet. andy- you're welcome! donnam- good question, I think the answer is somewhere around 90% waterproof ... if you wait and let the ink dry you get very little watering down of the ink ... maybe 5% ... but if you put water right after you draw you'll probably loose 10 to 15% of the ink in the water ... still worth a try I think, for waterproof-needing artists ... Ellen- yay ! excellent! e Nat- good another signo-fan … ;)

Always on the lookout for a good, super smooth, thinpoint pen; at the moment I'm liking the Pilot Hi-Tecpoint, but I've just moved to Sydney which has a Kinokuniya's, can't wait to check out their pen selection :) Cool, thanks for the link, lots of cool pens to look through!

That's pretty baller man - or did you actually buy them yourself? I think I just want free pens... :) How did Jetpens send you those pens?

Thanks for the tip; I haven't been able to get a hold of really great pens since I moved back from Sapporo. On a completely separate note, our son was born on April 20th--easily my best artistic creation to date (even though my wife did most of the work)! I’m ordering a handful as we speak!!

I could spend hours at the Seattle Chinatown store. The set up is great - It's directly linked to a huge grocery store and food court. I miss it. The Kinokuniya store in Japan Town San Francisco is super tiny, but seem to always have a great selection of pens. I did go through some crappy brush/marker pens and later found out that you can test any pen/pencil at the front register. They're totally helpful. E, Great suggestions as always. I will have to pick up a couple of these next time around. Thanks. So true….I love the Kinokuniya stores. I could spend hours at the Seattle Chinatown store.
