I'm a fan of the FOX TV show The Following, which is about the FBI trying to track down a serial killer who has built a cult of followers and based his 'religion' on the works of Edgar Allan Poe. So when I stumbled across a review of Organics Studio Edgar Allan Poe "Raven Red" ink on another pen blog, I had to get it.
First, it's an ink made in Maryland, named after Poe. Second, it's a darker red, closer to a blood red shade. Perfect for using to write fanfic about The Following.
I bought the ink from isellpens.com and it arrived safe & sound (and quickly) yesterday. I haven't had a chance to really use the ink yet, but tested it with a glass pen (not the best for checking certain properties such as shading, drying time, etc. because it doesn't really give you a consistent ink flow) for colour.
I like it. A lot. I can't wait to empty out a cartridge for my Kaweco Sport Ice (my most often used writing pen because it's easy to carry in a pocket with a notebook) so I can ink it up with Raven Red and give it a try!
The photos below are not the best, since I took them with my iPhone in the kitchen. I've tried to correct them some in Photoshop, but this is a terrible monitor. Accuracy is iffy at best...
The bottle is a rather plain plastic bottle with a small (and somewhat blurry) label, not the fancy one shown on isellpens.com:
I am not affiliated with the creator of the ink or the store I purchased it from. This was not sent to me to review, I bought it myself.
