Collection: David Oscarson 2012 End of Days

It happens only every 26,000 years; the Galactic Alignment, where the Earth’s Winter Solstice Sun passes through the Dark Rift of the Milky Way, marking the end of the 13-Baktun Cycle in the Mayan Long-Count Calendar. In astronomical terms, the Sun conjuncts the intersection of the Milky Way and the plane of the ecliptic. The Milky Way extends in a general north-south direction in the night sky. The plane of the ecliptic is the track the Sun, Moon, planets and stars appear to travel in the sky, from east to west. It intersects the Milky Way at a 60 degree angle near the constellation Sagittarius. This rare galactic alignment was predicted anciently by the Maya, whose culture, calendar and beliefs were based on their prophetic interpretation of these significant celestial events.

  • Bottled Fountain Pen Ink

    Choose bottled fountain pen ink if you want the widest color selection and a more refillable writing experience. Bottled ink works with compatible fountain pens using a converter, piston filling system, or other bottle-fill mechanism.

  • Fountain Pen Ink Cartridges

    Choose ink cartridges if you want a simple, convenient refill option with less setup and easier travel. Cartridges are a good choice for everyday writing, school, work, and anyone who wants a faster refill process.

  • Flushing your fountain pen regularly—

    especially when changing ink colors, every six weeks, or before storing the pen—is essential to prevent ink residue buildup, muddy color mixing, and clogged feeds that can lead to scratchy or inconsistent writing.
