[Sold] Calming the Storm hand-painted fountain pen
R6,000
Brandon (@brandlee_art on Instagram) has just joined our group and this is first art pen, Calming the Storm. The context behind this pen is that Brandon was under pressure. Our approach to him came at a time when he was overloaded with deadlines, while trying to find time and headspace for art. He needed to calm himself and get a clearer vision of what to do. Hence an astronaut sitting serenely on an asteroid.
This pen was made by us at Stanford Pen Studio, illustrated by Brandon in graphite and acrylic paint then coated in a clear resin by ourselves and given its final shape, polished, and buffed. We have added a glossy black grip section, as well as a bronze section ring, bronze cap band and our logo medallion (in bronze) embedded in the cap finial.
One thing we ought to emphasise is that each of our hand-painted fountain pens is a 1/1 original work of art. No-one else will ever own an identical pen.
Nib:
Available in Jowo #6 in polished steel. Please select Fine, Medium or Broad at the check-out.

SPECIFICATIONS
This is a gently curvaceous model, with a relatively wide girth of 16 mm (0,6″) narrowing to a 10,5 mm (0,4″) grip section. It has our logo on the finial, and the finial is ever-so-slightly rounded, rather than dead flat, which adds to the pen’s elegance.
