== Iroshizuku Ink ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' Um, I liked it because I thought it was really close to the, uh, Konpeki, the Iroshizuku ink. I don't know if I said any of that right. Bear with me. Sounds right to me. Um, but I find that ink to be, it's super bright, which is why I love it, but also bright in a way that I don't necessarily know if I would feel comfortable writing serious things that other people are going to read in like.

'''Ed Jelley:''' I wrote so many serious things in that ink. Well, I also did the same in Iroshizuku, in, uh, for you Gaki as well, but whatever. Yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Maybe there's a different definition of serious on the other side of the ocean.

'''Ed Jelley:''' Oh no, these were like, you know, uh, marketing documents for a million dollars, billion dollar company.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So that's marketing is a creative position though. So it's like, Oh, the cool marketing guy with the orange ink.

'''Ed Jelley:''' You didn't work in my company, man.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I'm creative there. Um, but yeah, you know, it's like a, it's like a slightly subdued version of that blue ink, which is one that I really love. It's usually at least one of my pens, but then I got one of those mini bottles of the diamine line, however. And, uh, I was really like, wow, this is great. This is kind of like a slightly less intense version. It performs well. And, uh, I'm a big fan of the brand. So this was kind of like just barely edged it out for like my interpretation of what an everyday blue ink would be like.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. That's a great, that's a great shade. I'm going to have to try this one out. That's a, that's a color I really enjoy. I don't like basic, what I call fountain pen blue, you know, which is like the Royal blue. Right. That you get that all the, you know, the cartridges ship, you know, with your Lamy or whatever pen, your new pen you're getting. I'm not a fan of that color, but these bright blues, um, I, I really, really enjoy. So man, this is, you've been, you've been knocking out some good stuff here. And I'm wondering, uh, do you have anything else up your sleeve here coming up, coming up soon? Because, um, you know, this Jay Herban, when, uh, you kind of broke, uh, broke the fountain pen internet with that one. So what else, what else you got coming up?
