A fountain pen and a smartphone are both communication devices — but one lets you explore and shape your own reality, and the other quietly manipulates it. For fourteen years, Scott B. Jones has begun each morning the same way: one drawing, every day, without fail. Like brushing your teeth, it's a simple act of maintenance — a daily moment that keeps you centered and clear. Now in its eighth volume, the series From The Fountain Pen of Scott B. Jones grows out of a pen-and-ink ritual Scott has kept every day since January 1, 2012: 5,114 consecutive daily drawings.

In a digital world that treats humans as data commodities with a distinct lack of privacy, and ultimately controls our perception, this analog ritual becomes a way to reclaim agency and one's own reality. The Analog Line gathers 365 drawings from 2025, rooted in the traditions of 19th‑century print graphics, comics, and the absurd. Each piece is a small moment of presence, a reminder that creativity is a physical act, and that slowing down with pen, ink, paper, and patience can steady the mind in ways no algorithm ever will. This volume is both a record of a year and an invitation to build your own daily practice — a quiet, deliberate counterweight to a digital world that never stops monopolizing your attention.
