May 22, 2010 sketch – ink, 6″ x 4″

My Rapidograph pen got clogged, not to the point of not being able to draw at all, just skipping lines here and there and refusing to produce dots completely. Lines would not be much of a problem, but dots are essential for what I am working on right now, so this is my attempt to get the pen to cooperate without cleaning it. Anything to avoid cleaning it.
