Speaking of dip pen inks, I was thinking about the Winsor & Newton Drawing inks, and I had to struggle to remember that they have two different black "Indian inks", one of which is shellac based and therefore waterproof (Black Indian Ink), and one of which is glue based and therefore non-waterproof (Liquid Indian Ink, which they actually say is a liquid form of Chinese stick ink, and is labelled as Chinese ink in French). #artsupplies

It's nice to see that products I remember from the 1990s are still in production, assuming they are the same formulae. I honestly don't trust any company anymore, not even the ones which have been in business for over a century, because in the modern era, #neoliberalism #neofeudalism has destroyed trust and integrity.
