BallPoint Pen Art/ Jerry Stith
Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, my name is Jerry Stith and I’m a ballpoint pen artist for the past thirty-nine years. Seven years ago I established a program called Ball Point Pen Art, BallPoint Pen Art or Ballpointpenart. I did that by purchasing the domain names ballpointpenart.com, net, org, and us plus developing eleven sites or slideshows. Today my network makes up the largest Pen & Ink site on the Worldwide Web. The inventor of the ballpoint pen was Mr. John J. Load a citizen of the United States, residing at Weymonth, in the county of Norfolk and Common Wealth of Massachusetts, patented the first ballpoint pen. The first patent on a ballpoint pen was issued on 30 October, 1888, to John J Loud, registration No. 392,046. The pen had a rotating small steel ball bearing. As with modern ballpoint pens, the ball was held in place by a socket. It was fitted with a means for supplying heavy, sticky ink to the ball. The pen proved to be too coarse for letter writing, but it could be used to mark rough surfaces, especially leather. A ballpoint pen can produce three unique lines that no other pen system in history have ever done. A long flowing line, dark rich colors and the subtlest camera ready art line in history. Introducing those qualities, artists and their ballpoint pen ink drawings to the world is what my American folk art program has done before one billion others worldwide. Today, I have over one thousand artworks and forty-three ballpoint pen artists archive, documented and published and that’s “News Worthy” or “Art History in the makings”! Founder: Jerry Stith. All credit goes to God, Jesus Christ & Holy Spirit, amen. Thank You, Jerry Stith
