Mattias Inks

Platinum Carbon Desk Fountain Pen

I got to try a new fountain pen (thanks to JetPens), the Platinum Carbon Desk Fountain Pen. I was very impressed by this pen the nib is very thin, the ink flows wonderfully and the the price is very affordable.

The feel is not far from my Namiki Falcon (the nib is extra fine) and the ink that comes in the cartridges is permanent.

Battleship

Well this is the way we used to play it.

Floating forest

Sjöbod

Urban renewal unit

Board game

A good board game is a great way to get you away from your sketchbook

Tall ships

I made a spread two summers ago with boats of a smaller scale. No much changes on Stora Kornö except everything gets larger.

Smögen

Smögen (58°21′40″N 11°13′55″E) on the west coast of Sweden is an old fishing port, summertimes it's invaded by sailors, rebel rousers, celebrities and partygoers. We only visited it very briefly in search for some spare parts for our outboard motor, this is how I remember it.

Vacation posting

We have gone away on vacation, to this place Stora Kornö outside of Lysekil on the west coast of Sweden. My father was born here and was part of the last generation that was brought up here, nowadays it's only populated in the summer.

Spread half baked

Work in progress to be concluded after my vacation, this time I will have to bring a computer on vacation, work never ends when you're freelancing. But for the blogging part old auto blogger fills the void.Have a nice summer or if you're on the less fashionable hemisphere a magical winter..
