[Pen/Pencil Review] Pilot G2 PenStylus 0.7mm Black Ink
The Pilot G2 is a classic and has been go to ink. It’s a classic that’s been around for ages, so what else is there to say about it? They’ve changed – or decorated – barrels. They’ve played a bit with point sizes, but overall the Pilot G2 is a Pilot G2. But this time […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Multi-Function Office Buddy Pen – Black Ink
This past weekend was the annual blueberry pick in East Texas – which meant an inevitable trip into Tyler – usually this is for coffee, this time to PetSmart for a new dog bed after Freya threw up on Loki’s bed and logistics ensued (holes in bed to be repaired before washing). Ended up also […]
[Pen/Pencil Blog] New Year, New Sales, New Opportunities
Today is the holiday day off for New Year’s Day. I’m also recouperating from a long weekend at a convention. I did play with the Faber-Castell Grip Plus Ballpoint pen when one of my Sherpa inserts ran out of ink this weekend. I’ve also picked up a couple of other things during After Holiday Sales […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Baltimore Airport Stylus Pen – Black Ink
I had a lot of time to kill in the Baltimore airport a couple of weeks ago, so I did goofy shopping – some Christmas some not. One of the things I picked up was a Baltimore ballpoint & stylus pen in one of the gift shops – in green (the barrel, not the ink). […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] BIC 4-Color Pen + Stylus
I know I’ve complained loudly about pen manufactures (BIC and Papermate, I’m looking at you) defaulting to larger and larger ballpoint sizes. I’ve been quite vocal about my love of fine points. I’m still NOT a fan of the default 1.0mm ballpoints. However… sometimes you gotta try stuff when it looks interesting. This looked interesting. […]

I want to introduce fountain pen enthusiasts to a friend, artisan, and craftsperson – Lucas Tucker. Lucas Tucker is the owner and creator of SCRIBAL WORKSHOP. I’ve mentioned his inks before but […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Just Mobile AluPen Pro Pelikan Ink
I have my good friend, John Husisian, for this week’s review. This is the pen he bought me for my birthday at Paradise Pen Company during the last pilgrimage. He gifted me with the Just Mobile AluPen Pro ballpoint pen and stylus. It was slightly overshadowed by the Vanishing Point, but no less appreciated. The […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] ONLINE Switch Fountain Pen with Stylus
This week’s pen is an interesting combination of Old School and New School – it’s the Online Switch Fountain Pen with Stylus that I picked up at Paradise Pen Company this past weekend. The Online brand is out of Germany and makes pretty nice modern fountain pen. This is no exception. The Switch is part […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Adler Multi-Function Pen From Zumaya Publications
This week’s review was a gift from Liz Burton of Zumaya Publications. It’s a higher end promotional, multi-function pen – that’s pretty spiffy looking. Liz called it a “writer’s” pen… and I can see why. It could be the Adler Crowne Triple Function Stylus Pen. This pen is a stunning blue metal with bright chrome […]

Today’s blog post… I revisit Paper Mate’s InkJoy. This is the Stylus stick triangular pen in purple ink. I picked this one up at Office Max. I keep coming back every so often to InkJoy because I really WANT to feel the Joy. I really do. I know people who love these pens. Alas…I am […]
