1). The 10 tips for a good maintenance of fountain pens
1) Wash your pen every few weeks and whenever changing ink color.
2) Use only cold or tepid water when washing the pen. Demineralised water will work best (tap water sometimes contains particles which may clog the feed).
3) Never use hot water, alcohol or solvents as these will damage the feed or other parts of the pen irreparably.
4) Wash the pen by filling and emptying it with water (repeat this until the water is clear).

3). Titanium - a versatile alloy for fountain pen nibs
Titanium ore was first discovered in 1791 in Cornish beach sands by the English clergyman and mineralogist, William Gregor. The new element was not purified until 1910, however, and another 40 years were to pass before it began to be refined and produced in marketable quantities.
In his periodic table of the elements, first published in 1869, Dmitrii Mendeleyev assigned titanium the atomic number 22, which places it in the first main transition series of elements, metals which are mostly hard, strong and lustrous.

4). The Geometric Structures of Chess as a Catalyst for Creative Composition
Ever since i was old enough to recognize the names of each piece, i have been naturally drawn to the game of chess for many reasons. This particular game, above all others, was exactly what i would gravitate to in a most curious way as a child living in upstate New York. Something about this game kept me searching for more as my mind raced with a curious fascination into the miriad of geometric structures and unique principles that, to me, seemed almost perfectly in harmony with life and the universe itself.

6). An Overview...Originals and Limited Editions
Art collectors have long had the choice of purchasing art on paper or art on canvas. The paper art included original works such as watercolors, pastels, pencil or ink drawings, lithos, serigraphs and etchings...and limited editions reproduced photomechanically from originals.
Canvases were usually original (and costly) works of art. But now, the growing popularity and availability of limited editions on canvas give collectors “the original look” at affordable prices.
