Title: Who owned the Flint Nemesis with the ink that was turning green?
Post by: DavidXBrunt on 04 July, 2003, 02:00:14 AM
Someone posted on a thread about art that they owned some Henry Flint drawn Nemesis art that was changing colour? Was this you?

I don't know, but hopefully my Nemesis and ABC Warriors pages haven't turned green.  Is this normal behaviour, or do you have to leave them in direct sunlight, or bombard them with gamma rays then irritate them to have this effect?  I guess I'd like to know.

Cheers

if your artwork has any felt tip pen on it as some artists use to do large areas of black there's a chance that the ink will degrade and go a strange colour.

Yeah, certain types of water- based black ink are actually rooted from red or green pigment sources so eventually, depending on the ink, you'll see it brake down/fade and reveal one of these two colours.

That said I used to use a lot of black Quink ink and that always had a bluey tint to it when I let it down with water..

It was me!

It was actually the mechanical tint, that overlay stuff to create greys. Apparently it was turning, so I got a discount.

Never used the stuff myself, so I can't comment on the chemistry.
