My name is Jerry Stith and I am Founder of a new American Folk art program called BallPoint Pen Art. A ballpoint pen is the most used writing or drawing instrument in history. Bic Pens just published that they have sold one hundred billion pens and they are only one company!***** My BallPoint Pen Art program is introducing ballpoint pens as a new art instrument to this world because it is the largest undeveloped art medium in history! Pen and Ink has been around fore about four thousand years and a ballpoint is the most popular or sold pen of them all. Introducing that instrument is new worth and historical event plus places me in art history. Needless to say, that is fantastic and something my I will do the rest of my life.***** This green Walt Witman portrait demonstrates what the ballpoint pen can produce. I really like what a solid dark blue background does along with the other colors because they add power, beauty or uniqueness of this picture. Presenting different colors and styles also advances what I am doing worldwide or at this forum. I think different colors are much more exciting than b&w plus much a lot more fun or adventurous!***** I love newness, exploring, variations and bold rich colors within the art world or my works. I also like changing styles instead of imitating a camera like many other people regularly do! I worked from life for decades and find variations much more satisfying or progressive. What do you think?***** My God bless each and every one of you, amen.
