Join me for a long swatch session on our YouTube Channel, where I sit down and walk through the entire series of Anderillium Ichthyoformes Inks! These eight inks are all inspired by fish, and best of all, there are three quite dark red inks (I’m counting Anglerfish Deep as a very dark red, even though there are brown tones as well). As you will see from the photos below, these colors will look darker with wetter swatches on Col-o-Ring paper than they will in everyday writing. In the video, I tried to get shots of the original ink colors as they go onto paper, and then again after they soak into the Col-o-Ring and dry.
My three favorites from this line, from top: Piranha Red, Lionfish Maroon, and Anglerfish Deep.
The ink will be less sheeny on non-swatch paper. As you will see in the video, I’ve inked up several pens with the reds and will be using them in the coming weeks.
I saw Piranha Red in person at this year’s Atlanta Pen Show and immediately knew that I’d want the rest of the set.
This was a fun video to make! The “Currently Inked” series is my equivalent of a “Live” or “Stream”, since it’s rare that I have uninterrupted time to sit for an hour. It’s much easier for me to swatch inks and talk in bits and pieces and then edit together a video later.
UPDATE: I’ve added the Papier Plume Ink Swatch Books featured in the video to the shop this morning.
If you’re interested in purchasing these inks, we sell them in our own shop. Better yet, if you’d like to see swatches in person, I will have them in the physical store this weekend, which will be open Thursday and Friday from 1-6pm, and Saturday from 10am-6pm. No Sunday hours this weekend, as I need a day off!
