Our art world now has a New American Folk Art, Ball Point Pen Art. This is Jerry & Linda Stith founders of Ball Point Pen Art here on the Internet. Jerry is self taught therefore an American Folk artist. Being an American Folk artist introducing a New Art Medium which is in turn a World Class Art Movement.

I’m personally a portrait artist that can draw other topics. I started using the BallPoint Pen in about 1968 after drawing with pencils before that. The ink was faster, sharper, cleaner, darker, prettier and camera ready. The ballpoint pen was totally portable and would work about any place you like. There after the pencil lost out and ever since then I have drawn with the ballpoint pen. A perfect tool for doing things in the field.

The ballpoint pen was invented and manufactured in 1938 by the Biro brothers. Billions of pens have sold worldwide from then till today. Hundreds of millions of folks draw and or doodle with them everyday of the year. Making it the most used writing or art instrument in history. Today billions of pens are made annally.

This ballpoint pen changed our business world by being the best tool for making carbon copies work. Pressing firmly down on the page made the carbine copy darker and very readable. That very dark line is a full-tone in art. The half tone is made drawing very gently. Which is now the most detailed line in art history camera ready for production art.

Today, there are multi-colored oil-based inks here on the market place. Yellow has reappeared after seven or eight years missing or off the store selves. I do again have yellow, gold, brown, pink, orange, yellow orange, yellow green and light blue for my warm colors. These colors will over all brighten any picture. Many artists don’t realize ballpoint pens come in colors. Yet Ball Point Pen Art has colored pictures in about 21 different colors.

The ballpoint pen never really got going strong because people liked working in colors. People would say the tool is to common for being good art. Most thought you wouldn’t be worth something till you are dead. All objections to the greatest detailed line maker in art history. People never realized what they had right in their own hand.

Ball Point Pen Art is bringing the half tone and colored oil-base inks to the art history. Our 10 Point Program simply points out were ballpoint pens fit into society. While in the same time dealing with the conformity in the art world. These advances led ballpoint pen in new directions as well as the art world.

Directing others of what the ballpoint pen can do in art is our duty as founders. Our communities have about 80 different samples of my art works. The children and beginners are our further. Ball Point Pen Art started the first time someone drew with it back in 1938 till, today. The fruit of our vine or blessing. Artists need to harvest their products or services. Our location is "http://communities.msn.com/ballpointpenart" here on the web.

Every single person has a productive or creative side to themselves. Their blessing to be used for their personal gain. Nothing is higher in the art world than doing our own individual art works. Distinguishing us apart as individuals and our self- expression. This pictorial communications is an International language known by all.

Development of the new art medium is our duty. Expressing it in our art and showing others how it works in the art world is also our interest. Ball Point Pen Art is built on artists doing and showing their works. Selling your art and making a good living is what all artists seem to want if their not hobbest.

I have a life and simply express my new findings and provide beginners with facts and figures. I'm trying to lift up people with ways to improve life as artists. If you pick up a Ballpoint Pen and start drawing with it, place it on your own site and register it on search engines you will be part of art history. The more you do the better you will be represented.

If you do oil paintings, every artist in the past several hundred years are now your peer group. You might get lost in the crowd. Huh. Ball Point Pen Art is a New Art Medium from 1938 it's beginning. From then till 2002 is 64 years, right. I have drawn with the Ballpoint Pen from 1968 and wrote with it many years before. I know what this pen could do and how it worked.

I worked 34 years on getting it right. The half tone is the sharpest line in art history camera ready. The Parker Pen has an extra-fine tip sold as a refill. This tip is the sharpest art instrument or tool around used in art. Clarity and detail became a new challenged area of drawing pictures. This very sharp tip will provide a full-tone and a half tone. The other wider tips are great for coloring or darkening your pictures.

The realist in our art world could stand strong with a new mark of excellence. Detail was redefined in lines per inch. A clean solid crisp line in color was now at our use. Black & White is also available with this same tip. Multi-colored pens with oil-based inks will attract the colorist and realist to this great medium. They most likely have a ballpoint pen and already know how it works.

The Internet is new and growing as is Ball Point Pen Art. Publishing your art around the world is the best thing from the printing press days. My coverage reaches countless millions around the world looking for new things. Have a life geared around doing art and showing it. Call that a life. Harvest your Ball Point Pen Art today, amen. That is plain, easy and simple.

This common tool or instrument is our New Art Medium as American Folk artists. Building up a platform and showing new artists and their art is what makes everything work. The United States of America gets the credit for this New Art Medium. We also us many BallPoint Pens and have the best Internet publishing in the world. Most BallPoint Pen artists can draw and post their works if they so wanted. Never before has a New Art Medium come on the art scene in prime time as what we have today.

Displaying our art knowledge and art works will develope this New American Folk Art. Making American culture that much stronger and productive. Using the artists and their mediums as a National Treasure. Bringing attention to our art and possitive imputs to our society. Giving independence to the artists and having the bills paid with it makes art work. Everyone willing can make it work that much more.

Our hopes and prayers are with you and your art.

We will spend the rest of our lives putting this art program in more perspective of being a blessing. Cultivating it as an American Folk Art.
