Be aware a long story follows. I will say, that if you're interested in commissioning a funny portrait of yourself or a loved one, be sure to follow the link in my profile. I'd be happy to make more people laugh. At #LTUE we sat next to Travis from @PioneerBook who was selling #FountainPens. Being curious artists, me and my @enuwey, had already tried fountain pens and wanted them. But, first we had to make profit before purchasing some. Travis was successfully selling the attendees of #LTUE on fountain pens, despite a large number of them, having never tried it. He was also selling the pens, already equipped with cartridge converters, so people could buy #NoodlersInk and self-refill. I would say about 80% of people who came up, walked away with a pen and ink bottle. I said it was incredible how he was converting people to fountain pens. He laughed and said, "Conversion is the proper term." This image of Travis as a great charismatic cult leader popped in my head at that moment. Converting people to fountain pens, and telling his followers to do the same, until the entire world was converted. I asked Travis, if he would mind me drawing him, as a religious leader, told him I'd send him a copy of the picture. He said "Okay, if you want to." I inked and finished the sketch that day, later when the vendor hall closed and I had a space in the #artistalley, I finished it with color. The next morning I showed him, his humorous portrait, and he couldn't contain his laughter. He said he definitely wanted a copy. The last day, he asked what he'd have to do keep the painting and I asked for a fountain pen, and he threw in some free ink. We both came away from the trade, very happy. My picture of the painting, Travis graciously posing with it, and my pretty pen. #ConLife #watercolor #painting #artistsofinstagram #Artist #artlife #dailydraw #paintingaday #CuriousOrigins #curiousoh #artistsoftumblr #pleinaire #illustration #portrait #caricature #storytime #commission #artistforhire #artistprobs #anythingtofeedaddictionofnewartsupplies #artsupplies
