[Pen/Pencil Review] A Slight Confession of a Lost Cause
When I tell people that I do a pen review blog, the comments range from “That’s so COOL!” to “You talk about what? How often? Really?” The “why?” is implied. But I admit I have a borderline unhealthy love of office supplies and stationary. Heck, I’ve written more than one blog post and interview article […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pilot V5 RT – Fashion Color 3-Pack
I try to give equal time to pens. This is another Pilot Precise V5 RT (retractable) This is the Deco Collection in assorted colors . I don’t remember spending a whole lot for them, so don’t judge the MSRP too harshly. This pen has a solid feeling point for the heavy-handed writers. This is a […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Inc. ClipClicks 8-Color Multipack
I was going to do a review today – and then discovered I’d already done that particular piece a few weeks ago. Yay for totally not remembering. Not. So… here we go. The last thing I picked up in a couple of random trips to Dollar Tree. This was the ClipClick from Inc. eight color […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Carpe Diem Comics Promotional Stylus Pen
This past weekend my friends, Lys and Shado Wiley, realized a dream. They opened a comic book shop in McKinney, Texas – Carpe Diem Comics*. While they were building, and now that the shop is open, they did an inexpensive gimme pen for promotional purposes. They are smart people who take note of what others […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pop! Bombshell Wonder Woman Novelty Ballpoint Pen
I don’t always go for the useful pens. Sometimes (when I’m wandering a comic book store) I go for pens that are just fun/silly/etc. Let’s face it, that’s most of the time. This one was an impulse buy at Ground Zero Comics in Tyler. It’s a pen from Pop! And it’s a tiny Bombshell Wonder […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Ancient Bog Oak Wood Skull Pen
So, let’s make a hard turn on pens. The last couple of weeks, I’ve done inexpensive novelty stuff. This is the other end (not as far as I COULD go, but still)… This past Saturday, Jimmy and I attended Art on the Greene by the Ballpark in Arlington (Globe Life Park – whatever) to visit […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Minion Multipoint Mechanical Pencil
This is another Dollar Tree find that makes me happier than it should – and something I haven’t used since I was kid. The other attractive quality (besides price – $1) is the fact this is a four-pack of multi-point Minion pencils. The package came with four pencils with different Minon themes and colors. These […]
Rainbow Pom Pom Novelty Ballpoint Pen
Last week I put a photo on Facebook that got a lot of hits, but I haven’t done a review on it. It’s a Dollar Tree find that makes me happier than it should – it’s a furry, rainbow pom pom ballpoint pen. It’s totally ridiculous – which is what makes it wonderful. This pen […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pentel Excalibur – Black and Stainless – Vintage
This week is a slightly unusual pen review. It’s more of a “vintage†review. I’m looking at two versions of the Pentel Excalibur which have been permanently. The numbers are going to be FUN. But there’s an interesting (to me) story of how these came to be. As many of you know, Jimmy has a […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Zebra Disposable Fountain Pens – 7 Colors
Today’s pen review is one I should’ve done a long time ago. I got this set for Christmas and have been using and carrying it around since then. Today’s review is another Zebra Pen product, this is their disposable fountain pen set from their art products line. I chose the 7-color set because COLORS. I’ve […]
