While all of us roosters were at the SDCC this year we ran in to one of my favorite arts. The Rev Dave Johnson, It turns out that he uses this pen for a lot of his work, and can’t say enough positive things about it. So take a page out of his book and give the pentel pocket brush pen a try.

To see his art and what the Rev is up to just click the image.
