My New Favorite Calligrapher: Ken Brown
Loyal readers of the “print product” will recall a little ditty I wrote about the Duckbill money clip back in March. I still love that thing. Highly recommended. Well, the guy who engraves the Duckbills (if you so choose) is a man named Ken Brown. He does calligraphic engraving with a dental drill, a process he taught himself. Well, you know who’s a loyal reader of the “print product”? Ken Brown is. After reading this story about how Spider Monkey and I nearly drowned in the Trinity (slight exaggeration), Ken sent over an engraved bottle of wine (pictured). Here’s the poem writ thereon:
A toast to the Trinity/ And surrounding muck./ A toast to the Matrix/ That didn’t get stuck./ A toast to the Monkey,/ While shooting the news,/ With brute force she pushed/ And Tim saved his shoes!
Now all I have to do is drink this thing before Spider Monkey reads this post and demands her share.

I’m so glad you wrote this. I bet I’ve been through a dozen calligraphers over the years but could never find one I thought I could work with on anything other than a temporary basis. Thanks to you, I might have found one for good!
Thanks for writing about my friend, Ken. I’m taking a bottle of wine Ken personalized for another friend who has a 50th birthday surprise tonight.
Oh my heavens! The cat’s out of the bag and now I may have to get serious with this poetry and Calligraphy that flow through my veins and capillaries!
Have worked with Ken many years & NEVER been disappointed. His talent, skill, & creativity are unmatched!
