John Mottishaw in his nib repair workshop
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, seen with MIchael Blake and Deanne Stillman
Jonella Hubbard joined the team in May 2007 as office manager. After a decade in finance, this USC grad shifted gears to join the fountain pen world. While she brings a grounded business sense to the workshop, there is also an air of mystery. Mystery novels that is. She is working on a manuscript featuring amateur sleuth, Ivy Miller. This photo shows Jonella with her hero, author Michael Blake, and author Deanne Stillman.
Matt Liberman
Matt Liberman joined the nibsters in November 2009. Before joining John Mottishaw's Classic Fountain Pens Nib Works, Matt did stints at both Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium and Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory, where he was awarded "Oompa Loompa of the Month" for five consecutive months in 2003. He currently resides in Los Angeles and sometimes writes.
 
David Lewison
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. You can find out what he's been up to recently at www.davidlewison.com.
