From The Fountain Pen of Scott B. Jones

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.
