European Pencil Pornography

Written on by jeremy

Writing is art!

Naturally, I share Harlan Ellison’s eloquent views on the value of writers, and I also firmly believe in writing (and writing implements) as art. Since I’ve been writing all day (and it’s somehow been a whole year since I shared with you Bob Van Breda’s wonderful collection of pencils and ephemera), here’s some additional pencil porn from Europe courtesy of the fine-tipped folks at Present and Correct (in the UK) and Lexikaliker (in Germany). Bookmark them, and you’ll never be unleaded!
