Four thousand years of history was written, carbon copied or drawn via a pen. Amazement rings loud and clear within my thoughts while realizing what pens have produced throughout our history as a people. A pen was among one of the first instruments or mediums in history and its usages upgraded society in many ways. For thousands of years pen and ink drawings dominated the marketplace before other mediums or instruments became invented. Therefore, it is difficult to imagine how other mediums have impacted society more than a pen!***** Investors love archived art mediums as well as collectors or our art community. Therefore, ISO or Din rated archival inks are a must have item if that part of society is of interest. Marketing, advertising, sales, public relations, production art and promotions are what our marketplace is based on along with money! Introducing a large undeveloped art medium or movement certainly is a tremendous task. Bold actions and years of assertiveness are needed to develop such actions if I was to be asked?****** Fine, graphic, commercial, design and cartoon art departments all use pens. Countless billions of dollars are brought in annually through the actions taken with pens, particularly ballpoints! Therefore, its mind-boggling how others think the power of the pen, is a humble medium. It seems to me that using a weak, unpopular, unsuccessful, or unsought art medium would represent a humble practice. Knowing your mediums influences are tremendously limited within your society is not too inspiring. Having a short history and narrowed support system certainly would be something else to consider.****** People like what they can relate to far more then something they never tried. Billions of people have written with a ballpoint, therefore what is being done within the art world becomes more personal then something never used, go figure. Simple things, simply work and common things commonly are popular. I am not inventing a new wheel! Me introducing a ballpoint half tone, dark rich colors, bold flowing lines are events that upgraded the mighty Pen & Ink Art movement, society or history. Several ballpoint pen companies are coming out with ISO or DIN archival rated inks, therefore our strength within the graphic art world remains factually steadfast.****** Pen & Ink drawings have been an International showcase or guideline of popularity and success within the world of lines! Throughout centuries ink drawings improved and elevated our world. Today, ballpoint pens bring new Marks of Excellence to the table, grid or storyboard that boldly changes old values or achievements of the past. Those of you or use that introduce this sleeping undeveloped giant art medium become recorded in art history, as did other artists of the past. Developing and recording ballpoint pen art history certainly at times is a humbling event. Art movements are made up of many people or artists. The popular or best artists most often become recorded in art history as those that started or developed a new medium not the weak an unproductive.***** Any artist might pickup theyre own ballpoint pen and produce art history! Just pickup a ballpoint and get busy getting busy. Art is a verb or action word therefore being prolific, bold and outgoing produces those results that puts people ahead of the game or on the map. Displaying your artistic abilities on a grid that gets plugged into our infrastructure brings bold, new or exciting things that certain can provide success. Introducing new styles, colors, tip sizes, topics and techniques are art history, newsworthy and something you could be doing. Promoting deals with what an instrument did in relations to other products, services, wants or needs of society.***** Does the greatest medium get called humble or should a weaker medium of influence claim that label?****** Jerry Stith
