Open letter to ink bottlers:
Mar. 26th, 2008 03:14 pmDear Noodler's Ink:
Your product is awesome and your truly endearing labels even more so. However, we have to talk about your 'Legal Lapis' shade of ink. Now, I'm an attorney. We always sign original documents in blue. A very typical, middle of the road, conservative, uninteresting blue. I mean, it can be a pretty blue, don't get me wrong, but it shouldn't make the reader go "woah, that's a weird color.' I of course did not make up this tradition (I probably would have chosen a nice burgundy), and they didn't exactly teach it to me in law school, but it is an undisputed fact nonetheless.
Now, Legal Lapis is this really keen shade of dark turquoise. Don't get me wrong; I like it a great deal, and playing around with it inspired me to sketch out a short pornographic furry comic about a couple of girls having sex in front of a fish tank. My mind works like this, you see. However, the color in no way suggests the shade of lapis lazuli, nor is it at all appropriate for the signing of legal documents. Just thought you might like to know.
On a similar vein, to Private Reserve Inks, could you be so kind as to tell me what drug whichever relevant employee of your company was on when she named your 'Blue Suede'? It's a very pretty shade of light aqua green, though unfortunately I've found little use for it in my art so far. It is definitely green, though.
While we are on the subject, your bottles are very art-decoish and pretty, and also easy to fill the pen with, always a plus. However, I have noticed that they are nearly impossible to use without getting ink all over one's fingers. Perhaps this is entirely a shortcoming on my part.
Sincerely, and admittedly very geekishly yours,
Jackel
...guys, I've been pedaling on a bike trainer for 2 hours. Of course I'm a little punchy...
