Pigma Brush Pens

Every once in a while, I trip over a new tool that I just cannot do without. Such is the case for the Pigma Brush series from Sakura Color Products of Japan.

I was sorting through some felt-tip markers in the fine art section of a local A.C. Moore store when I found a small display of these pens.

What caught my attention was the fact that although the tip is similar to an ultra-fine point indelible marker, it is very flexible. The darn thing really does handle like a very fine brush!

So far, my usage has been to fill in extremely thin cracks and seams on folded cardstock. It is very easy to handle and got in places my previous markers didn't. I'm sure that with a bit of experimentation, I'll find more uses for this handy tool. Hhmm... Industrial age graffiti anyone?

Both the store display and Sakura's website show these features:

• Archival quality ink – chemically stable, waterproof, and fade resistant
• No smears, feathers, or bleed-through on most papers
• Thorough ink delivery to the sides and tip of the flexible brush
• Individual pens available, and in a 6 – color set, and 8 – color set
