The only present I got for my birthday was a set of india ink pens. And I've been using them.

Authors. Hermann Hesse, Edgar Allen Poe, Fredrick Nietzsche, Leo Tolstoy, And Jack London. I'm actually pretty unhappy with how Jack turned out. He deserves better than what my stupid fingers could muster.
1984 related picture. I'm only allowed to draw in my British Literature class if it pertains to what we are doing.

This is actually blue and not grey, but the color doth not work on my scanner. I was playing with Daniel Clowes art style from Ghost World.
