Dear Leica Family,
It is with the utmost excitement and honor to introduce myself as President of Leica Camera North America.
There are great shoes to fill with the departure of my predecessor Roger Horn, who has so graciously guided me throughout the past few months as we eased into this transition. His boundless legacy and passion will undoubtedly be a part of the Leica footprint forever.
Leica Camera is a brand that I have very much admired for many years, for its trailblazing technology, treasured community bond, commitment to the essentials and iconic history. With 30 years of experience in the luxury accessories sector at Montblanc North America, Christian Dior Watches, Breguet, and Swatch Group, I hope to use my past learnings to support Leica’s growth and evolution. I look forward to continuing Leica’s unrivaled leadership in the world of optics and am committed to the Leica team and all those who trust Leica to express their unique visual stories.
As our respected Head of Optical Design Peter Karbe states, “The M-System educates photographers. It’s like trying to write with a fountain pen. Using the fountain pen is not easy at the beginning. But once you’ve learned how to use it, you don’t want to write any other way.” With an appreciation for tools that inspire and expand the capabilities of expression, I look forward to fostering your visual story through the next chapter of our collective Leica journey.
With Kind Regards,
Mike Giannattasio

The idea behind this commission was to use another Kobe themed product - a series of Kobe Inks. These colored fountain pen inks are made by a local company called Nagasawa and all the shades are based on vistas from around the city. There are more than 70 colors available, so I was able to choose a set allowing me to work similarly to what I’m used to with my watercolors.
Tools:
- concept sketches: Procreate and iPad PRO
- sketch: pencil
- lines: Glass pen and Kobe Ink
- colors: Kobe Inks
- paper: Holbein Waterford 300g cold press watercolor paper

This is a sketch of a Mitarashi Dango selling stall located (apparently) in Takayama. I did this sketch based on a random photo I found on the Internet but you already figured out the exact spot, it's even on Wikipedia:

I wanted to paint this using a new tool I'm still experimenting with: the LAMY Safari fountain pen filled with Sailor Sei-Boku pigment blue ink.
The ink is waterproof so I can use it like this, with my watercolors but because it's blue it does not overwhelm the picture like black lines tend to do. I'm still experimenting with this approach but I like how it looks so far.
You can re-watch the live YouTube stream during which I painted this sketch from start to finish:
Technical details:
* Paper: Canson 180 Degree Sketch ArtBook
* Sketch: 0.5mm 2B mechanical pencil
* Lines: LAMY Safari M and Sailor Sei-boku ink
* Colors: My main 50 colors Schmincke set
