Pilot Iroshizuku Kon-Peki ink review

11 November 2014 By ian

Kon-Peki is a joyful ink. It’s bright and cheerful and sunny and reminds me of the colour of sea in warm countries. It’s not quite my favourite blue but it’s right up there with the best of them. It also dries very quickly indeed. Here I am doodling the Inkling. You can find some more […]

Pilot Iroshizuku Tsuki-Yo ink review
