Jacques Herbin ink is making waves this week. Inky waves! (That’s supposed to be a Jacques Cousteau joke — just roll with it.) Check out the multiple reviews below.
Hope everyone is having a great week. Be safe, Florida. Hope the Carolinas get water and power soon. And I hope the rest of the US gets cooler temps and lots of PSLs. The rest of the world, be safe, happy and inky!
