Brad Dowdy and I recording the first Fountain Companion Podcast special at the 2018 DC Pen Show.

Hi,

I am Ana G Csiky, aka Inkantadora. I live in Paris, love travelling and have a passion for color, ink, pens, paper and art supplies in general (though I do not necessarily consider myself an artist).

Since 2016, I have been collecting inks (and pens and paper and…) and in 2018, I started to write about the stories behind the inspiration for each color or item. Clearly I needed more space, and so I am now building this blog which is dedicated to my love for inks and fountain pens, with a bit extra on the different topics I link to it such as but not limited to:

  • Stationery culture in each country (this is an International desk afterall!)

  • Pen, Stationery and Art Supply shops around the world

  • Pen shows

  • Flowers, dyes and how they are linked in different ways to stationery

  • Textile & Stationery (I am a massive Atelier Musubi fan)

  • History and culture of writing & arts

You can easily find me on:

If you have any questions, please contact me. I LOVE questions since they make us all grow. If the question is interesting to the pen or art supply community, I will try to share it here with your permission. :)
