Diamine Terracotta is an excellent ink.  Check out my review over at Bottledup.ink.

BottledUp.Ink: Where My Ink Reviews Went

May 6, 2016

You may have noticed that I've been doing fewer ink reviews on this blog.  That's because I've mostly moved them over to a Tumblr I run, Bottledup.ink, though so far I've done an extraordinarily bad job letting you all know that.  I've recently posted a couple ink reviews (mainly photographs) of Sailor DoYou and Diamine 150th Anniversary Terracotta over there, so please check it out.

Sailor DoYou is another very dark brown that I've been enjoying.  A full review is up on the TGS Tumblr.

I made the decision to give ink reviews their own site since it seems like there is less demand for them than other kinds of content, and as a result I was having a hard time justifying fitting them into the rotation.  Also, I've set the Tumblr up so that you readers can submit your own ink reviews if you so desire.  So far, nobody's taken me up on that offer, but the invitation stands!

If you follow me on Instagram, I periodically post ink-related stuff over there, and anytime the Tumblr is updated you should get a notification if you follow me on either Tumblr or Twitter.

Happy Friday!

The First Tumblr Review is Sailor Bung Box Tears of a Clown

Introducing the TGS Ink Review Tumblr!

February 26, 2016

I've been struggling to get ink reviews up regularly on the main site, and have been looking for a way to make it easier to write up quick posts in a form that's longer than TwInstagram and shorter than a full-on blog post.  I also wanted to use a format that makes it easy for you all to share your own ink reviews if you so desire.  That's right!  The TGS Ink Review Tumblr is open to submissions.  Check it out here.  For now, the name will be "gentlemanstationer.tumblr.com", but if anyone has any creative ideas, please feel free to share them.  I will pay you in ink samples.  

Hopefully I'll be better about getting my inks posted and reviewed regularly if I'm not chained to having to do it on an actual computer. Sorry Squarespace, but your mobile editor isn't the greatest.  Plus, Tumblr is easy to post to remotely, and submissions are easier to manage.  Hope you enjoy!
