"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."--John 8:32
Let me know what you think.
In France, in 1945, a man named Marcel BICH, who had been the production manager for a French ink manufacturer, bought with his partner Edouard BUFFARD, a factory outside Paris and set up business as the maker of parts for fountain pens and mechanical lead pencils.
While his writing instruments parts business began to grow, the development of the ballpoint was advancing in both Europe and the United States and Marcel BICH saw the enormous potential for this new writing instrument.
After obtaining the patent rights to a ball pen created by Hungarian inventor, Ladislao BIRO, Marcel BICH introduced his own ball pen in December 1950. Touting his product as a reliable pen at an affordable price, he called it « BIC » a shortened, easy-to-remember version of his own name. The famous BIC® CRISTAL® ballpoint pen was born!
He supported its launch with memorable, effective advertising and its sales surpassed even his own expectations. The company then expanded its product range and began to enter foreign markets by creating subsidiaries, acquiring control of foreign companies or through agents. Since 1950, BIC® ball pens have revolutionized the writing habits of millions of consumers all around the world, who continue to value them for their quality and affordable price.
Today, to meet specific consumer needs, BIC offers a complete range of stationery products sold under a range of major recognized brands:
Writing instruments and markers under the BIC®, STYPEN® and SHEAFFER® brands Coloring and Drawing under the CONTE® and BIC® KIDS brands
Correction products under the WITE-OUT® and TIPP-EX® brands
In 2002, the BIC® Cristal® ballpoint pen enters the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art of New York (MOMA), at the Department of Architecture and Design.
In 2005, BIC has sold its hundred billionth ballpoint pen.
Darryl, I went to several of your sites my friend. I had a difficult time finding your name Sir. Every produce, service, company or person interested in sales promotes it or their name. In art or advertising NAME, NAME and NAME counts Darryl! I would make your pictures larger if possible plus place them in frames for displaying purpose. Descriptions also helps sales.
It looks like you’re a young and improving artist. Your fishing picture is excellent and a step above most of your others. Needless to say you’re improving or show great improvement. I’ve done thousands of sketches or quick drawings Darryl. I post my earlier works so beginners, youth or viewers can relate to them because its within their reach or emotional grasp.
Your fishing picture has powerful contrast, great depth, wonderful details, an excellent mood, brilliant lighting and much promise Darryl. I think you have what it takes, can do better plus have much promise. Most great artists’ are very prolific therefore much work is to be done if that's a goal?
Keep the faith Darryl,

NPES Standards Bluebook – May 2005 8
The Committee for Graphic Arts Technologies Standards (CGATS) and the B65 Committee for Safety Standards are the two ANSI-accredited committees developing national standards for the printing, publishing and converting industry. The U.S. Technical Advisory Group (US TAG) to ISO TC 130 provides input into the ISO standards activities relating to the industry. NPES serves as the Secretariat for those committees.
Information on CGATS, B65 and US TAG is contained in this booklet, and further information can be obtained by contacting Mary Abbott, Director of Standards Programs at NPES via Tel: 703-264-7200; Fax: 703-620-0994; or E-mail: [email protected].
International Organization for Standardization (ISO) The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies from some 147 countries, one from each country, consisting of 97 member bodies, 35 correspondent members, and 15 subscriber members. This book provides contact information for ISO member bodies. ISO, a non-governmental organization, was established in 1947. Its mission is to promote the development of standardization and related activities in the world with a view toward facilitating the international exchange of goods and services, and to developing cooperation in the spheres of intellectual, scientific, technological and economic activity. ISO's work results in international agreements that are published as international standards.
"ISO" is not an acronym, but is a word, derived from the Greek "isos" meaning "equal." This is the root of the prefix "iso-" that occurs in may terms, such as "isometric" (of equal measure or dimensions - Shorter Oxford English Dictionary) and "isonomy" (equality of laws, or of people before the law - ibid). From "equal" to "standard," the line of thinking that led to the choice of "ISO" as the name of the organization is easy to follow. In addition, the name has the advantage of being valid in each of the organization's three official languages, English, French and Russian. The confusion that would arise through the use of an acronym is thus avoided.
The scope of ISO covers standardization in all fields except electrical and electronic engineering standards, which are the responsibility of the International Electro technical Commission (IEC). Together, ISO and IEC form the specialized system for worldwide standardization: the world's largest non-governmental system for voluntary industrial and technical collaboration at the international level.
The work in the field of information technology is carried out by a joint ISO/IEC technical committee (JTC 1). The results of ISO technical work are published in the form of international standards. There are nearly 10,000 international standards and technical reports covering hundreds of industry fields. ISO work is decentralized, being carried out by 2,850 technical committees, subcommittees and working groups organized and supported by technical secretariats in 35 countries. In these committees, qualified representatives of industry, research institutes, government authorities, consumer bodies and international organizations from all over the world come together as equal partners in the resolution of global standardization problems.
The Central Secretariat in Geneva assists in coordinating ISO operations, administers voting and approval procedures, and publishes the international standards. Developers of international standards are an estimated 30,000 engineers, scientists and administrators. They are nominated by ISO members to participate in the committee meetings and to represent the consolidated views and interests of industry, government, labor and individual consumers in the standards development process.
Approximately 500 international organizations are in liaison with ISO technical committees, including nearly all of the UN specialized agencies.
1. Four thousand years of pen and ink history: (A quill feather was cut and prepared to be used as a dipping pen that dominated the market place for one thousand years. Metal tips or nibs became into use thereafter for recording, writing and artworks. Most other art mediums didn’t exit, so comparing pen and ink to them is rather absurd because society was completely run with our medium) Pens have elevated every society throughout history for the past four or five thousand years like no medium and that indicates other art medium are lesser effective or inferior. Pen and Ink therefore has countless billions of supporters.
2. Most sold art instrument in history: How many people have exited over the past four thousand plus years is an interesting question just like how many pens or ballpoints have be used by those individuals during those times. Pen and Ink has a tremendous past as does the Biro or ballpoint pen. A ballpoint is being used via illustrations, animation, cartoons, lettering, as a mixed media, commercially, industrially, as a fashion tool and throughout the graphic or fine art communities.
3. Largest undeveloped art movement in history: A ballpoint pen became commercialized or first manufactured worldwide in 1938 in Argentina through the efforts of the Biro brothers. The Biro’s failed to get production rights with the United States so shortly after that date pen companies within this country retooled and produced their own models or designs. The Bic Pen Company has already sold over one hundred billion ballpoint pens and that’s only one manufacture in the world. How many of those ballpoint pens get used for doodling, sketching, drawings, inklings or illustrations? Interrogating those artworks into our art community’s infrastructure will provide hope, prosperity, gains, sales and recognition. Our art community is of the people, for the people and by the people!
4. Longest flowing pen lines in history: In the art world spontaneity is considered very important particularly if the artist is working outdoors because things are moving unlike working from photographs which is like imitating a camera. Doodles, sketches and today’s inklings are most often based on quick long flowing full tone lines used to capture action, a mood, expression or moving motion. The lines always remain the same, never thicken or dull plus keep on going throughout your creative adventure. I have more than three and a half thousand sketches from the good old days published on the Web for the beginners, youth or children of the world. They represent a level countless millions of people interested in exploring the art world can relate to!
5. Brightest colored pen inks in history: Pen and Ink has been around for about four or five thousand years or longer than almost all other media or medium. The earlier inks came mostly in black or shades of brown. India ink was about the best because it was really black plus archival therefore most excellent as a writing, recording or artistic medium. India inks are however water based which seems to work well with black yet not colors. Blacks have a different make up or properties than do colors. That means colored inks are weak, almost transparent or not comparable to other art mediums.
Ballpoint pen inks are oil based, much thicker, radiant, brighter or beautiful in compare. Now pretty, beautiful or brilliant artworks can be produced via pen and ink as never before. That’s New Worthy or a vast improvement within that art movement plus an attraction to millions from around the world. I’m not seeing any colored ballpoint pen drawings surfacing out of Great Britain or some other countries. I’m seeing colors coming out of China, New Zealand, Spain, France, Canada, India and some other nations throughout the world and that’s spectacular or a vast improvement.
6. Subtlest camera-ready half tone lines in history: Camera-ready means, ready for market or to go not first in a series of events multiple processes. In 1980-82 Parker Pens produced an extra (ultra) fine ballpoint pen tip that arrived in black or blue oil based inks. The cartridges are wide so massive lines or art works could be completed with each unit. The extra-fine tips were remarkable thin or much like drawing with a nail. Those tips got removed from the market place or selves because of limited sales.
The extra-fine or fine ballpoint pen tips produce an amazing thin line and that’s extremely important within the graphic art community. Eloquence, sophistication, perfection or exquisite line work describes graphic art works using very detailed lines therefore such words are appropriate for our ballpoint pen drawings. Why! A ballpoint pen can produce a half tone line that is subtler than all other graphic or fine art medium so such descriptions do apply. A new detailed or thin line elevates the sensitivity level of mankind and that’s a extraordinary statement to say the least.
7. Only oil based pen ink in history: Oil based inks can produce a half tone lines from a full tone ink supply, carry more pigments used in making brighter colors plus enables better storage. Some ballpoint pen’s have an ink reserve that can produce a line three quarters of a mile long! That indicates lots of fun, freedom or creative expressions to me, my friends.
8. Strongest pen tips in history: A strong ballpoint pen tip enables it to produce an outstanding carbon copy, stops breakage, lets it work on many rough surfaces, work upside down, underwater and in deep space. Sometimes it even works as a prying, scraping or digging device.
9. Best carbon copy producer in history: A ballpoint pen revolutionized record keeping, government, business because of the ability to make an excellent carbon copy!
10. Most reliable pen in history: A ballpoint pen is portable, study, reliable, effective therefore extremely popular or the greatest writing and drawing instrument in history and is being used to run society.
Pen and ink has been around for about four or five thousand years and a ballpoint pen commercially from 1938 via the Biro brothers out of Argentina. Several hundred billion ballpoints have been sold worldwide from that date which makes it the most popular or greatest pen sold in history.
Today, the world is controlled by those using a ballpoint pen plus countless millions of artists draw with them to hang on their walls. Pen and Ink totally dominated the market for thousands of years yet drastically declined in popularity during an Industrial Revolution that introduced many new media as well as medium. Things have never been the same ever since.
In the electronic world words like modern, new, the latest advances are in high demand while in the art community such is considered worthless because everything has to meet a test of time! Double standards certainly decrease creative intensions or advancements within the art world as do a lack of investments. Everybody loves art yet nobody likes and artist. Maybe, that’s why people tell artists that they’ll be worth something after their dead.
Many other ballpoint pen artists are just doing black and white drawings while I’m an International leader at introducing what a ballpoint can do as an art medium, instrument or medium. Integrating ballpoint pen art into societies infrastructure is a difficult task because it often takes money, a name, popularity and recognition to make it all happen and those things don’t come till after it works. Needless to say, most people live for money and that indicates very limited actions will be taken place until it starts coming in! People put a price tag on everything and value nothing.
Needless to say, a ballpoint produces pen and ink drawings. However mixed medium or media brings in a totally different crowd or field of interest. That has something to do with six plus billion people, many cultures, traditions or ethnic groups from around the world. Today’s media brings on many new markets or avenues as does the WWW. The more mediums an artists handles the greater the his audience therefore mixing things up can increase ones popularity.
1. Publishing: 155 ballpoint artists (archiving ballpoint pen art history) Usually, archives. documents or records relating to the activities, business dealings, etc., of a person, family, corporation, association, community, or nation. I’m documenting ballpoint pen artists so that people worldwide have a clear knowledge of what a ballpoint pen can do as an art medium, instrument or movement. It’s also a wonderful way to produce and record Ball Point Pen Art, BallPoint Pen Art or Ballpointpenart history for those here or yet to arrive.
2. Commercial layouts: letters, numbers, symbols, pictures, prepared, done, or acting with sole or chief emphasis on salability, profit, or success: a commercial product; His attitude toward the theater is very commercial. Around 85% of the American people have never taken an economic or business oriented class that should indicated such practices are really limited which is pretty sad in a capitalistic society. I’ve posted commercial layouts so people will realize how a ballpoint pen drawing can be used in advertising.
3. Animation: motion, vigor, energy; enthusiasm, ardor; exhilaration, sprightliness. The Internet currently has over a billion people an action is a large part of the game so adding motion or animating some of my artworks was in order. Add some action to your art and get involved.
4. Video: special effects, a program, movie, or the like, that is available commercially on videocassette, Internet format ect. Upgrade your act by using another media to display your medium can increase getting out the word pertaining to what you’re doing.
5. Slideshows: displaying a row of pictures, A slideshow is a display of a series of chosen images, which is done for artistic or instructional purposes. Another pleasant or easier way to show views your artworks.
6. Blog: blog, short for web log, an online, regularly updated journal or newsletter that is readily accessible to the general public by virtue of being posted on a website. Blogs typically report and comment on topics of interest to the author, and are usually written and posted using software specifically designed to facilitate blogging; they include hyperlinks to other website and, often, photos, video clips, and the like.
7. Sites: A website(s) that will display your programs, pictures, stats, information, sales, promotions, marketing or public relation interests.
8. Digital imagery: A digital image is a representation of a two-dimensional image using ones and zeros (binary). Depending on whether or not the image resolution is fixed, it may be of vector or raster type. Without qualifications, the term "digital image" usually refers to raster images. New software makes it easy to alter, vary, change or rearrange your originals and that opens many new markets or fields of interest.
9. Illustration: An illustration is a visualization such as a drawing, painting, photograph or other work of art that stresses subject more than form. Art works that tell stories and through the use of backgrounds.
10. Cartoon/Comic: a sketch or drawing, usually humorous, as in a newspaper or periodical, symbolizing, satirizing, or caricaturing some action, subject, or person of popular interest.
11. Design/Interactive: of or pertaining to a two-way system of electronic communications, as by means of television or computer. A computer connected to the WWW enables me to interact with my software and other places around the world in real time as never before. That means I can be creative, productive, get involved plus publish things around the world all at once from my keyboard or desk top.
12. Classical Realism: treatment of forms, colors, space, etc., in such a manner as to emphasize their correspondence to actuality or to ordinary visual experience. In other words I can draw pictures that have great details of things found around me or in nature. Most people consider realism completed with ink is the most difficult form of art.
13. Impressionism: a theory and practice in literature that emphasizes immediate aspects of objects or actions without attention to details. I’ve posted many impressionistic artworks because I’m present a style and many brilliant colors now being offered via a ballpoint pen.
14. Abstracts: Having an intellectual and affective artistic content that depends solely on intrinsic form rather than on narrative content or pictorial representation. I’ve posted some abstracts because they’re simply fun to do.
15. Multi-colors: an arrangement or design of many colors. I have more colors in my ballpoint pen drawings than any others for the past nine years on the WWW and that makes me the leading colorist. Colored inks finally places our medium on the same playing field with many other art medium already being enjoyed through the society.
16. Mono, two or three colors: Many of my pictures are red or mono colored. In 1968 black and blue inks were the only two ballpoint pen inks available or on the market. Red came next and that was followed by the color green. I worked with what was available plus learned how color worked by doing many mono pictures. Adding one or two other colors took places along the way.
17. Black & White: Pen and Ink started of with black or in some cases brown inks. India ink became a world wide favorite because it was very dark or black plus was archival. I think a ballpoint pen started off using black inks then introduced blue which at the time couldn’t be used on official forms or often thought unacceptable in school reports or artworks.
18. Domain Names: ballpointpenart.net, .com, .us, .org I was the first to register ballpointpenart as a domain name which really helped start our art movement get going via the business world. An identity certainly is a wonderful thing.
19. ISO/DIN Archival Ink list: investment value I spent years researching ISO/DIN ballpoint pen inks, pens or refills in order to help fellow artists locate materials that would increase they’re works value. After all, money is the milk of politics!
20. Colored Pen and Refill list: Colored inks are very valuable as well because they make art pretty as a picture plus add realism to our works. After all nature does arrive in living colors.
21. Steadfast Light test results: Over the years many changes have taken place pertaining to ballpoint pen inks. Recording those variations, improvements or the newest synthetic resins is important for investors, artists, collectors or historians seeing time is often part of the game.
22. Ballpoint Pen History information: Another thing I researched was the history of Pen and Ink as well as invention of our ballpoint pen. Watching the development of the greatest drawing and writing instrument was an interesting process as is seeing how art movements got started throughout history.
These are some things I’m doing to introduce what a ballpoint pen can do as an art medium, instrument or movement. Billions of people are drawing with a ballpoint or doing pen and ink. Any help the ballpoint pen artists can do to develop our art movement is a positive action therefore let the inks flow. What are you bringing to the table, doing to help others or providing this art movement?

In my early artistic years I made a great deal of pictures only with black ball-point pen. Below is just an example.
