The
Nibster is John Mottishaw. A
"lapsed metal sculptor" with an art and metals
background, John left a career in academia, and fine
arts, to start his own business in 1992. He has specialized
in nib re-tipping; repairing, and customizing, fountain
pen nibs for the past 15 years. He stays in touch
with the art world through his wife, Barrie Mottishaw,
a well known landscape painter.
Jonella Hubbard joined
the team in May 2007. After a decade in finance,
this USC grad shifted gears to join the fountain pen world.
Angela Chance joined the team in February of 2011. When not writing or doing stand-up, she’s kicking herself for not doing more writing and stand-up. She is originally from Ohio.
When not immersed in the world of quality fountain
pens, David Lewison is a writer and actor whose
one-act plays and monologues have been produced at theater companies
throughout the United States and Canada. He also edits the natural health care website DoctorWhimsy.com.
Mariana is the newest addition to the team, joining in October 2011. She has a background in Interior Design but woke up one morning to find herself in the exciting world of fountain pens and decided to stay a while.
