this is cool. I wonder what would motivate someone to do this over typewriting and photocopying to get same effect.
For example some writers like Neil Gaiman love their fountain pens:

I've not heard it put so succinctly before.
I'm a craftsman/artist myself and it's taken this particular post to crystalline a life time of observation about fellow artists. Myself I couldn't give two shakes about how to get something done. But I've met plenty of fellows, at every level of production (more so at freshman levels because this kind of fetishism leads to less actual production being done as the fast and easy way is usually the less sexy way), that are gung ho about a certain verisimilitude process wise. For them, it seems to me, they don't think it's an honest or 'real' work unless it's done with a certain technique.
The difference is often subtle. But sometimes, it can be striking.
