3187, B2785-P. Manuel Neri: Artist Books/The Collaborative Process by Bruce Nixon, Robert Flynn Johnson. 194pp. 10"x12". Hardcover. $60.00 Paper $40.00
This catalog presents seven artists books. The first four are collaborations: artist, printer, photographer, binger and are produced in limited editions. Of most the interest to calligraphers are the last three books -- each a single copy original. These books present poems by Pablo Nerda (Ode to A Beautiful Nude, Morning, Afternoon & To Night and the Truth and Poetry). Thomas Ingmire has written out each poem in italic -- both in English and Spanish. It's a beautiful volume.
If you are interested in his writing or his work, check out:
B900. Words of Risk: The Art of Thomas Ingmire by Michael Gullick. 1989. 90 pp. 65 illus. 9"x12". Paper. Retail Price $25.00. Sale $16.99.
Using words as subjects, Ingmire's work has progressed from the transcription of texts to complex multilayered visual statements. His juxtaposition of and interplay between words and images challenges the traditional role of calligraphy as "decorated writing." The book describes the work and working process of Ingmire and reproduces virtually all of his major pieces, many in full color.
B2614. Codici 1 edited by Thomas Ingmire. 2003. 64 pp. Paper. $22.95
Ingmire is best known for his expressive -- and often non-legible -- calligraphic works. This illustrated notebook draws primarily from Ingmire's teaching. It presents the assignments, support materials, the works created by students, as well as images and brief discussion of his own recent works that relate to the program. Topics include inventing new forms, lettering as drawing, the expressive line, the shape and space of writing, the word as image, Hans-Joachim Burget: The Calligraphic Line and The space of Writing: The Ditchling Project. The emphasis of his work is on a visual rather than a verbal message.

FP59. Pentel Brush Fountain Pen
Pentel Brush Fountain Pen / Pentel Pocket Brush.
SALE Was $17.95, NOW only $13.20
Carry an inked brush in your tool kit, pocket, or purse. The synthetic fiber brush tip is a bit longer than other brush fountain pens. Has a fine point and a great spring back. Highly recommended by Karen Charatan. It is a little stiffer than the Pentel Color Brush (FP57,), and therefore a little easier for beginners to control. This is Pentel Pocket Brush GFKP.
Includes two pigmented, water resistant ink cartridges

I08. Higgins Eternal Ink
Higgins Eternal Ink
A non-waterproof, carbon black ink for dip pens. Our most popular ink for classes. Recommended for copperplate (add a few drops of gum arabic). Perhaps the best ink for calligraphy for a beginner; it will cause the beginner the fewest problems. This ink will bleed more readily than other inks. If bleeding is a problem try Sumi Inks. 2.5 oz.

I70. Moon Palace Sumi Ink
Moon Palace Sumi
The Ink is now in a bottle with a Gold Label
While the packaging is a bit different , this is the highly sought after and highly recommended Japanese Sumi Ink. For both broad edge and pointed pen work. Dries waterproof. A great calligraphy ink.
"I like Moon Palace better, but both Moon Palace and Best Bottle are beautiful inks. The Moon Palace has a slight sheen to it, which I like. Michael suggested this ink to me so please tell him I said "thank you". I just finished a job of 200 invitations with Moon Palace and the ink is beautiful. I did not dilute the ink.
A client just brought me invitations (slick paper) to address. This bride knew going in to this that I probably couldn't do pointed pen. However, for fun, I tried the Sumi inks and to my surprise they worked pretty darn good. I usually have to use a sharpie on slick envelopes, yikes!!!"
--Clair F., Jan 2011.

I43. Best Bottle Sumi Ink
Best Bottle Sumi Ink
This new (to Western calligraphers) Japanese
sumi ink is good both for beginners and for professional work. Smooth, rich black. Hard to find. One of the popular sumi inks for calligraphy. 6.75 oz, 200 ml bottle.
"The Best Bottle Sumi Ink truly is the best bottle. You can write three to four times longer with a pointed pen nib before the ink dries between the tines enough to alter the writing (this compared to Moon Palace)." C. M.
