[Pen/Pencil Review] The Mithril Mechanisms Chess Knight Pen
SoonerCon is one of my favorite science fiction conventions. They have great programming and an amazing Art Show. I love hanging out with some of our favorite artists and meeting new ones. Especially ones that create wondrous works in ink pens. Allan Seyberth is just the newest one. He had an amazing display. He’s currently […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] A Slow Return — the Dallas Pen Show
It’s been a long time since I’ve done any kind of blog. There’s been a lot of–stuff. A lot of stress. Maybe some fog from some low-level anti-depressants I took for some menopause symptoms that failed. But now SOME things are settling down (others will be a constant thrum for the next year to 18 […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Moleskine Roller Pen Plus – Burgundy
Welcome to 2016, and the Year of Getting Stuff Done (version who-knows-which) – and starting with keeping up with the blog. And…we’re going to start with something I didn’t actually get for Christmas. It was an impulse buy in a Best Buy check out line. (Yes, that happens.) But I’ve been wanting/meaning to try these […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] TUL Rectractable Pen – 0.5mm Red & Green Ink
Okay, so I know Office Max and Office Depot are technically the same thing, but I still think of them separately. Though, it’s getting harder. There’s one line that still exists in the Office Max Universe – the TUL pen line. Which makes me happy this holiday season, because I like their 0.5mm retractable pens. […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pilot V7 Hi-Techpoint Roller Ball – Green Ink
The last pen review of 2014… where does the time go? And DUDE who’d’ve thought we’d be here? This is Science Fiction years. But here we are. This last pen for 2014 was something I saw in passing on JetPens and then bought as stocking stuffers for Jimmy and myself. I give you the Pilot […]
Shachihata Artline Ergoline 0.5mm Rollerball – Green Ink
This week’s pen is also from JetPens. It’s the Shachihata Artline EgoLine 0.5mm rollerball pen in green ink. This is, I guess, technically (from the name) a pen more designed for artists, but it’s promoted as having a “smooth writing experience”. This pen is basic black (so it goes with just about everything). It’s 5.25″ […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Morning Glory Mach 3 Brown Ink 0.38mm
I don’t know why some Mondays are a bigger struggle than others, but they are. This one is one of them. I left the pen I’m reviewing at home, so I don’t have it physically in front of me, but I’m going to do my best. This is one of my last batch from JetPens […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Pilot FriXion Revisit
A while back I wrote a review that started: I’ve seen a lot of chatter on many of the pen blogs and sales sites on the awesomeness of the Pilot FriXon Erasable Gel Pen. A lot of people seem to really like this pen, and why not? It’s a gel pen that comes in a […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] J. Herbin Refillable Hybrid Roller Ball – Medium Point
Today’s pen is something a little different. It’s a J. Herbin refillable roller ball pen – medium point. This is a pen I picked up from my last JetPens.Com order along with the current ink – also from J. Herbin. You’d think there’d not be anything special about a refillable roller ball – well, this […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Sarasa SE Retractable Gel Pens – 0.7mm
Hey look, something by a pen company that doesn’t start with “P”… 8-). Today we’re looking at the Sarasa SE Retractable Gel Pen from Zebra. The Sarasa line is great, economical line from Zebra. These I found in a multi-pack on the clearance aisle at Office Max. This was a 4-pen pack in black, red, […]
