This is Jerry Stith the founder of an American folk art program called Ball Point Pen Art, BallPoint Pen Art or Ballpointpenart. I’m a ballpoint pen artist that has spent the past 39 years drawing, archiving, documenting and researching the ballpoint pen and its virtues. Art became a love of mine at the age of five or fifty-two years ago!
I’ve worked with clay, glass, metals, wire, wood, finger- oil- watercolor- temper- acrylic paints, pastels, oil pastels, charcoal, graphite, pencils, enamels, chalks, inks, conte’ sticks, crayons, wax, video, software, TV., camera’s, colored pencils and computers as an artist in order to express myself as an artist.
I came to the Internet over seven years ago to find that there were no ballpoint pen art or drawing programs, organizations or related forums published. I thought that was rather strange because a ballpoint pen is the most sold, used and popular of all writing or drawing instruments in history. There were no Pen and Ink major sites as well which is really strange because that art medium was around for over four thousand years!
Hundreds of billions of ballpoint pens have been sold throughout this world because they work the best at what do! For some reason no other person chose to present a program that supported this amazing pen system. Therefore, I’ve spent over ten thousand hours researching, developing, archiving or publishing materials related to this world class instrument. Today, there are over one billion people registered with this WWW and I’m the most published ballpoint pen artist of them all.
In last seven years I’ve presented more facts, ink test results, ISO or colored pens than all others on the Internet. This list clearly demonstrates what a ballpoint pen can do or did throughout history.

There are many other ballpoint pen artists around the world that have not yet surfaced or come to our attention. However, when they do my network or ballpoint pen art forum will be here to greet them. Forty-three artists from around the world have been published worldwide to show what can be done with a ballpoint pen.
These are some other things I have published.
