I have created one drawing every day since January 1, 2012 using early 20th-century fountain pens with flexible nibs. These antique tools shape the expressive line work that defines my art and my teaching.
In Vintage Fountain Pen Therapy, Scott B. Jones shares his latest annual collection of consecutive daily pen and ink drawings, a discipline in which he has participated since 2013. Each artwork is created using a vintage fountain pen, which brings character and expressive variation to the lines.
This seventh volume showcases the handcrafted quality of line that comes with using vintage fountain pens with flexible nibs and analog techniques. Influenced by historical art movements and a dry sense of humor, Scott’s art blends tradition, curiosity, and a light-hearted spirit.
In these pages is a thoughtful record of process, practice, and the quiet satisfaction of making art by hand.

Scott B. Jones is a pen and ink artist using vintage fountain pens to consistently create daily drawings. A distinctive feature of Scott’s work is his use of flexible nib early 20th century fountain pens.
These antique tools offer a diverse range of line variations and textures, which emphasize the handcrafted quality of his drawings. His latest book, Vintage Fountain Pen Therapy, documents his daily artworks from 2024.
Scott’s art is a fascinating blend of influences. From the fluid lines of early 20th-century rubber-hose animation to the organic compositions of Art Nouveau to the raw, vibrant energy of street art, his work is a convergence of creative approaches. The intricate crosshatching patterns of 19th century printmaking, the nonsense of Absurdism and the biting wit of existential humor all find a place in his drawings.
Scott views art as a conversation, not a competition; an egalitarian opportunity to explore new ideas, One of his main goals is to encourage others to find the joy of drawing with vintage fountain pens and to reconnect with oneself.
He invites you to join him on this journey.
