I’ve long believed that creativity is the pinnacle of intelligence… to take something that is in your head and create something that the rest of the world can enjoy. It just doesn’t get better than that. I’m not creative in the least. I just sit here and talk and wave my hands around! Luckily, I have many friends who are creative.

So how do artists connect online? I’m glad you asked! A creative friend of mine recently started a new website called Artician for just this purpose. Artician is a new community for creative professionals! They make it easy for anyone to build, manage and customize their portfolio. They also promote and feature creative talent… showing your work to the World!

Upload your digital portfolio, and create a blog if you choose. Even if you aren’t someone who creates – you can explore those who do! If you’re a lover of art in any form, you can join this site and browse some amazing pieces of art.

Look at your walls… what’s on them? You may have posters or pictures you posted from a store. Why not put something original on your wall that was created by someone online. You may find a picture that just speaks to you on some level. That would definitely be something you want to purchase and frame.

Artician makes creativity come alive. Art should speak to you. What’s beautiful in your eyes may not be to someone else. That’s personal. You’ll find things that you find absolutely amazing on Artician, I promise.

If you’re going to check out any new site, take time to browse around Artician. Also, you can follow them on Twitter. Even you cannot draw or create, you can still support those who do!

Ponzi has an addiction to ink pens, and anything with ink in it. She’s very particular when it comes to what pens she uses. She came across an Artisan recently on Ustream, who creates pens by crafting with wood. He’s using Social Networking to showcase his art, which is very cool. Richard is a pen enthusiast, and likes to share some of the fine handcrafted pens and pencils he make in his studio.

I’m very passionate about writing, pens, and making things — I felt a need to connect with others that are interested in these things, and this pen blog is the result of that.
I thought it would be cool to contribute to the pen and writing communities and to share online with the “penthusiasts” some of the tricks and tips I’ve learned about pen care, nibs, ink, writing and other related subjects.

Ponzi absolutely loves this pen. She loves the way it writes, and how it feels in her hand. Mostly, she loves knowing that Richard is a true Artisan… one who is using the Internet to its fullest extent to showcase himself, and his craft.
