There are people who have gifts for something, and then there are people who have gifts for something. Paul Cadden is more proficient with a pencil than most doctors are with scalpels. His works range from full nudes to detailed garbage drawings (the... continue...
If you need dead quiet to get some shut-eye, this is probably not the pillow set you want to toss on your queen-size. If you miss the days of jamming #2 pencils into cassette tapes and watching the levels bounce with the beat of Ice Ice Baby, then this... continue...
Anyone who owned cassette tapes has lived through the torture of respooling at least one of them with a #2 pencil. If it was a cassette single of “U Can’t Touch This,” it went a little quicker than the mess a 90-minute Maxwell could... continue...
Incorporating some skulls into your décor and wardrobe can be risky. Done right, it adds a hint of danger, manliness and a “Don’t F with me” attitude to your life. Overdone, however, and suddenly you’re the guy who hangs out in cemeteries at... continue...
Shepard Fairey (aka the man behind OBEY, the OBEY Giant and the Obama HOPE posters…but you probably knew that already) wants to get some more OBEY gear into your pockets. The latest entry in the long list of things that he’s responsible for... continue...
There’s something about skulls that makes them inherently cool—regardless of their purpose. If drinking out of them, storing things in them and having them on your walls aren’t enough, now you can write with one too with this Skull Graphite Pencil.... continue...
If anyone was going to redesign the way we think about writing instruments, it was going to be the Germans. Pencils don’t need to be a simple tube of wood filled with “lead” and capped with an ugly pink eraser that will just inevitably... continue...
Art is fun to look at, but interacting with it is generally frowned upon. Not only do these graphite sculptures look good, they’re also writing utensils. Since they’re made of graphite and coated in a special polymer, they won’t stain your hands... continue...
Try as we might, we’ve never been able to go completely paperless. No amount of “notebook” apps will ever replace the strange sense of accomplishment we get from actually writing something down in a notebook with a pen or pencil. It’s... continue...
All we have to say is “it’s about damned time.” There is finally a company producing ties we can (and will) wear without feeling like a corporate pencil pusher. Like everything else CXXVI makes, these ties are handmade, unique and something... continue...
The last time we had anything that stored pencils in it, it was a tin case emblazoned with Batman, and not the black clad Dark Knight, no, we’re talking blue and gray garb. So it’s been a while since we’ve carried around a bunch of... continue...
If you’re looking for a permanent, more authoritarian point when writing, you use a pen not a pencil. If you also want to look really cool in the process, skip the choice between blue or black and go straight for metal. The inkless metal pen is... continue...
When it comes to office supplies it seems like every time we find a particular brand and style that we love it eventually ends up getting discontinued long before we have a chance to stock up for the rest of our lives. This is particularly true when it... continue...
Along with playing Words with Friends (this is still cool, right?), there are a lot of things your iPhone/Droid/Blackberry is good for. One thing it’s not good for is taking notes. We know it’s easy to do because you probably already have... continue...
Lamy’s Safari Charcoal Collection (you get to pick between a rollerball pen, ballpoint pen or mechanical pencil) isn’t a collection of the nicest writing implements you’ll ever own, but they’re the note-taking instruments you’ll... continue...
