    Cool Hello from Sin City!

    Hello all you Geeks!

    My name is Dustin and I am coming to you from Las Vegas, NV. I have just recently found my love and addiction for fountain pens. In life I am a game designer and producer. I've worked on mobile, social, PC, console, and casino games. I am also an artist having gone to formal classical art school with an emphasis in digital art and photography.

    I just got my first 2 pens last week a Pilot Metropolitan and a TWSBI Diamond 580 and am already addicted. My interest started after accidentally grabbing a box of Pilot Varsity pens one day when in a hurry at staples. I opened the box and was surprised to find a fountain style pen. I had used dip pens in art school so I thought cool! For whatever reason one day I decided to Google them and stumbled upon Goulet Pen's YouTube channel that peaked my interest.

    So in short a new hobby has been born as I have always been an avid journaler and Calligrapher mostly using Markers and the Pilot Parallel pens.

    One thing I have been thinking about doing is a video blog of my journey into the world of fountain pens doing reviews of pens, inks, and papers objectively as someone who has no experience with them at all. Would anyone find that interesting? There seems to be plenty of people that do lots of reviews who have a deep knowledge and understanding but at times feel stuffy and convoluted as they spout off 1000 different pens I have no clue about. Just an idea.

    Anyways! Hello and I'll see you all around!

    We look forward to the time when the power of love will replace the love of power. Then will our world know the blessings of peace.
