Description Crystal Fawn lives healthily, models and plays bass in a band. She is from the USA and a MySpace friend who's granted me her permission to draw her on couple of occasions. Here is the inked (markered..?) version of her looking her attractive best, with my attempt to be witty by inserting funny remarks into the dialogue balloons. Since I was in the full swing of my Frank Cho infatuation at the time (spring of 2008), I wanted to try inking with markers, like he does with Pigma Micron brand. I couldn't get the equipment but found Faber Castell PITT markers are quite good - plus the 'brush of gods', as incomparable 'reverend' Dave Johnson says for the Pentel fountain brush with synthetic hair.

maybe I should try that, I play bass! I like Microns for inking comics, also quill pens and Windsor Newton brushes.

Get out of here!!! Hoo-hah! BASSIST, AREN'T YOU??? Which axe are you grinding? Me - P-Bass & Jazz Bass, Peavey TNT 115 amp, no effects pedals, fingerpicking and plectrum too! You..?

Never managed to get a hold of Microns/Pigma pens [are they Sakura or am I mixing up the tools..?], I'm using PITTs or Pilots or Pentel BrushPen - and most eagerly W&N sable brushes with Hunt & Gillott nibs!

2 custom 5 string fretless basses I designed, one I built, 6 string hand made Tune bass, purchased when I lived in Japan, 5 and 6 string Ibanez soundgear, 20 string carbon graphite Chapman Stick, and a couple of mid 1960's Hagstroms. [link]

Sakura make Micron pigma markers, nice acid free ink their .005 is the finest guage marker out there I think. the first time I bought brushes, I tried them and thought, wow this is going to take some time to master, I put them away for a bit and moths ate them. >.< $14 brushes... @_@

Not only you've got more instruments than me -- you f**king BUILD THEM??? Damn... You're good..!
My first WN brushes, bought in New York many years ago, were eaten by moths, hence my orientation towards nylon bristle or I taint the sable brushes with ink and soap so moths don't attack them anymore.
But I've lost 6 Series 7 WNs [No.3] that way...

Almost forgot... and you lived in Japan too???

My, oh my... well done, young man.

oh I'm not that young. 44. I keep my brushes capped to protect them. yeah I've been around, built a few different instruments, and modified many more.

Still, you're a full decade younger than me.
I keep some brushes capped [with plastic tube to protect them] but since I use most of them all the time, what's the protection point?
I admire and envy you for your ability to make instruments or amend them, not just play them. Stellar stuff.
