Another interesting blog: Anachroneironaut, a quirky and very personal blog by someone in Sweden who has a deep, deep love for fountain pens and other writing instruments. Lots of quirky ink drawings, a lot of it with a very personal touch, some with a nice whiff of steampunk. Take a look!
(The blog is in english, by the way, not some furrin crazy moon language ;) )

Fascinating stuff!
I like his style, and the use of antique tools.
Fountain pens are fantastic writing and drawing instruments.
I used carry at least two with me all the time for drawing and writing, one fine round nib and one medium flat nib. Usually with sepia ink, because one can play a lot with the density of that colour, much more than with plain black ink.
I guess that's a habit I should pick up again. :)
A very fun site! I found a small 'antique' pipe in college which I altered by inserting a pen nib in the stem (where it's pulled from the bowl for cleaing) and hollowing out the bowl cavity to accept the nib. I wore it in my hat. No, I dint smoke nuffink! I just always had a handy, arty pen on my person. :)
