Artists need to be able to create the moment they're inspired & have their tools reliably last all the way through every session.
Dry brush pens, acrylic pens, fountain pens, markers, (& even dip pens if you need to take a 15 sec break) are a show stopper.
They all come with a cap. This makes sense because without a cap, they'd mark up whatever they bumped into, the tip may get damaged, or someone could get severely poked. AND, they would dry out because those tips are basically like the opening on a bucket of paint. Leave that sitting with no lid & it'll dry just the same.
But in case you never checked, tons of those pen & marker caps have holes in them. Go ahead, blow into your favorite. Can you? Then you've got holes. Why do so many companies manufacture their caps with holes? The answer must be profound because I can't even fathom.
What's the fix? Bit of tape? Epoxy? Maybe to the 1st, & eh can't be bothered to buy & mix it to the 2nd.
I decided to just stick an old dirty piece of Kneaded Eraser on the end, instant, perpetual, removable, relatively durable, airtight seal. 👍✌️
