[Pen/Pencil Review] On the Road
No pen blog today. Heading home from a wonderful weekend with artists. Will try to post something tomorrow.
[Pen/Pencil Review] Black Polymer Skull Pen
It’s a recovery week from a super busy week at the Day Job last week and prep for going to Spectrum Art Live on Thursday. So it seems like a good time for a novelty pen that I picked up…somewhere. I don’t even remember – maybe World Market. Maybe Party City. I think I found […]
[update] Hiatus Week
I’m just going to call this a hiatus week on the blogs. I might get a story up on Friday, but yeah. Not happening. I’ve been planning an event for work that’s in 48 hours. Eek. And other stuff has happened that makes the day job even more…adventurous at the moment. So… see y’all next […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Hedgehog Pencil Sharper
This is going to be a completely ridiculous post because it’s been a rough weekend and challenging day thus far. We lost a good friend unexpectedly on Saturday. The world seems a bit dimmer without Casey Sledge in it. So, to try to return a bit of a smile and light – I give you […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Adorable Stuff I Didn’t Need
Obviously I didn’t post yesterday. It’s a crazy week at work. Training and event planning and stuff – the blog suffered. However… I did do a teensy bit of shopping at Half Price Books this past weekend and got adorable stuff I did not need but had to have.
How adorable is this? I love these tiny notebooks with amazing artwork. But what’s better? The backs! Check them out…
The other purchase was a “notebook” of notepads, sticky notes and flags with a crappy gel ink pen. The selling point? The cheesy, hipster woodland creatures.
Seriously? How cute is this? I had to get both of them. The sticky on the notepads and flags could be stronger, but hey. It is what it is. Just join me in the AWWWWWW factor.
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pentel EnerGel Multi-Function Pen
Today’s pen blog is a multi-function pen. I don’t do these often, but this one caught my eye. It’s the Pentel EnerGel Multi-Function Pen from Tokyo Pen Shop. This is one of the Japanese offerings, not necessarily found in the US, except through online portals like Tokyo Pen Shop. This
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pentel EnerGel Euro Rollergel – 0.35mm
This week’s pen review goes back to Pentel. It’s the EnerGel Euro Roller Gel Pen in 0.35mm black ink. I’ve been gravitating to Pentel a lot – and Jimmy now has a blog for his Pentel P200 mechanical pencil series. We’re turning into a Pentel “family”. I don’t know what the EURO means in the […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Platinum OLEeNU Green Mechanical Pencil – 0.5mm
Today’s blog is another version of mechanical pencil from Platinum. This is the Platinum OLEeNU Lead Breakage Prevention Mechanical Pencil Green Body. At first blush, this is a typical mechanical pencil like the transparent one I reviewed before. It has a clear barrel with a frosted rubber grip and accents. Its diameter is a comfortable […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Meeting My Supply Room’s George Fox
Today’s pen blog is a bit different. Saturday, Jimmy and I did a road trip to Killeen, TX to meet up with fellow pen/pencil collector and blogger, George Fox of My Supply Room. There’s a typical feeling among writers about being a fraud or poser… yeah, that was me meeting George and walking into his […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Zebra Tect 2Way Light – 0.5mm – Light Green
Today’s review is a day late because I took a four-day weekend for my birthday. It was a nice, quiet, restful weekend that was exactly what I wanted. So besides that, let’s talk mechanical pencils. This one is from Tokyo Pen Shop and Zebra – its’ the Zebra Tect 2Way Light 0.5mm in light green. […]
