    Troc’N’Brol 2019 (10th anniversary edition!)

    So this is kind of a repost from last years post on the troc. I’m still not as active as I could be, because… well, because. As every year, two weeks before Hanuka, the Rotondes are ablaze with creativity from all corners of the Grand Duchy. As I skipped last two editions, because the format…

    Troc’N’Brol 2018

    As every year, two weeks before Hanuka, the Rotondes are ablaze with creativity from all corners of the Grand Duchy. As I skipped last two editions, because the format had changed, we’re back to the old-school “one-night” formula for this year.  What is the Troc? Imagine an auction, but you don’t auction with money, you…

    An ode to an ink-pen: Mitsubishi uni Pin

    This might be a bit disappointing to people visiting this site in hopes of reading a new post about pencils. But for my first post in a long time I decided to write about the thing I use the most when drawing: my ink-pens. I have tried a lot of them and I will try…

    Review: Pentel Multi 8’s

    During the time I was scanning the internets for interesting bits of stationery (still do it but not as extensive as last year), I remembered that somebody offered me a LAMY “tri pen” a long time ago and I almost forgot I had it. So I went looking for it in my storage (I’m really organised, but…

  • Review: Caran D’Ache Swiss Wood HB

    Review: Caran D’Ache Swiss Wood HB

    It was kind of difficult to find a store that had the Swiss Wood, when you try to find it in a physical shop that is. I found it in a really nice little shop in Cologne called Papier Pop-Up. Maybe I didn’t look hard enough in the past, but they had the Black Wood on…

    I’ve been busy, but not here.

    A late Happy New Year to y’all!! I see that I still get a lot of traffic, like at least 500 visits a month. I thought I’d let this blog a bit to its own to see if people are still interested in pencils. And it shows that eventhough I was silent on here for…
