In the pursuit of pen and ink as fine art, there is another aspect to look into - the 'dark side' of pen and ink - scratchboard... these are some of the renderings of Norman Gaddini, one of the masters of this way of using pen and ink - and the first one to color scratchboard, back in 1975... most of these were on boards of about 18"x24", so on the large size as per most ink artists, yet the detailing and clarity is easily as good as most any regular pen and inker....
