MonteVerde®: Mega Ink Ball Limited Edition Pens

MonteVerde® introduces the miracle of reverse miniature hand-painting inside of their latest limited edition pens!! At the dawn of the 18th century, a new art form emerged in china. The process was called inside (reverse) painting. Clear snuff bottles were hand painted from the inside out, which yielded some of most prized collectibles that the world has ever seen. Southern California based Monteverde™ brings the process to their latest series of limited edition pens. Miraculously, these hand-painted gems are being offered at a fraction of industry standard pricing. Monteverde’s original art is hand-painted on the inside of special, hand-made clear acrylic resins. The meticulous work is completely done by hand. Highly gifted artists take at least 72 hours to complete each part with a specially designed, hand-made, hooked paint brush specifically designed for these pens. Since the painting is completely done by hand, no two pens are exactly alike. Each pen is considered to be an original masterpiece and is numbered in sequence. Only 395 of each of the first 3 designs will be produced. (“the tiger”, “the great wall”, and “flowers and birds”) each painting is also sealed from the inside to protect it from interior scratches. The parts are hand-assembled and brilliantly presented in an exclusive gift box. The idea of hand-painting luxury acrylic pens on the inside so that they are protected on the outside was completely conceived and brought to life by Monteverde’s founder and president, Yair (Jerry) Greenberg. Mr. Greenberg started to collect inside (reverse) painted snuff bottles some 20 years ago during his travels abroad. From the onset, he tried to apply the process to acrylic pens. When told that “it couldn’t be done” he knew that it “must be done”. New ground was eventually broken and the art of inside (reverse) painted pens was born. Clear barrels in the pen industry have been commonly known as “demonstrators” for many years. These are prized by collectors and cost many hundreds of dollars. Taking this to the next level, Monteverde hand polishes the inside of each barrel is in a very special way and then roughs it so the paint will adhere to the acrylic surface. (worldwide patent pending on the process) Unlike traditional painting technique where the artist starts with the background and builds outwards, the inside (reverse) artist must start with the foreground first. It takes many years of highly disciplined training before an artist is allowed to work on an inside (reverse) painted object. In the future, the Monteverde design team will introduce inside (reverse) painted fountain pens with 14kt, solid gold nibs. One-of-a-kind, custom, reverse painted pens will be offered with any theme, portrait, landscape, or even corporate logo. In this fast paced world where speed is king, it is fantastic to know that there are still artists who create miniature original masterpieces that can be enjoyed any time that a pen is needed. Monteverde’s reverse hand-painted limited edition writing instruments combine the centuries old art of inside reverse painting with the latest advances in pen-making. Welcome to the future of practical art. This is what happens when you think from the inside-out… this is Monteverde® mega™ hand-painted from the inside out…!! Monteverde pays tribute to one of mankind’s greatest achievements; “The 10,000 Li, Long Wall”, Great Wall of China. At more than 4,000 miles long, it is the World’s longest man made structure. The Great Wall was built and rebuilt over a 2,000 year period beginning in the 5th century b.c. The section of wall built by Qin Shi Huang, (the first Emperor of China) between 220 B.C. AND 200 B.C. to protect the empire and to prevent the resurgence of feudal lords is legendary but no longer exists. Your pen pictures a section of the wall constructed during the Ming Dynasty. It is considered to be one of the most visually striking sections of the entire structure. Here, the Wall climbs extremely steep slopes. This section is almost 7 miles long. As the wall and all of its fortifications wind through the mountain pass it is 26 feet tall and measures more than 19 feet thick at its base. “The Long Wall” is still standing and is visible from space but you can keep this monumental achievement right at your fingertips. Monteverde pays tribute to the natural world with Flowers and Birds. Poetically called, “nature’s voice” flowers embody the essence of physical beauty. They appeal to our senses and are the very symbol of procreation and physical pleasure. Birds are known to symbolize grace, freedom and peace, like a dove. They command the skies and are found on EVERY continent on Earth. Birds were the inspiration for mankind’s ability to spread our “wings” and fly! The MonteVerde® Design Team has chosen a classic art style to illustrate the most striking and unique features of several species of Flowers and Birds. Your pen will always remind you of the most elegant and desirable things in life. Keep your Monteverde pen nearby… it will immediately transport your mind to a place of pleasant thoughts, beauty, and promise. MonteVerde® pays tribute to one of the greatest images in nature. Artists and poets have celebrated the Tiger for its power, its beauty, and its unique ability to adapt and to overcome just about anything. The Tiger is revered for its awesome power, it’s dignity, and it’s steadfast ability to hunt, stalk, and overpower its prey. There are five different types of living tigers today; the Siberian Tiger, Bengal Tiger, the South-China Tiger, the Indo-Chinese Tiger, and the Sumatran Tiger. Your pen celebrates the Panthera Tigris Amoyensi; also known as the Chinese, Amoy, or Xiamen tiger, The South China tiger is considered to be the “stem” tiger, the subspecies from which all other tigers evolved. It is one of the most endangered animals on earth. You can enjoy this magnificent creature as easily as picking up your pen.
