Pen-cil


This is my new pen-cil. I got it at Muji. It is both a ball-point pen and a mechanical pencil and is designed beautifully. I've been using it a lot and have even begun to use it to do some line drawings of architectural details/spaces. The pencil part supposedly takes .5 or .7 graphite (I like.7) and the pen part writes as smooth as butter.


Translucent, so you can see its inner workings.



Here, you can see the pen and the pencil inside the fuselage of the pen-cil.

A turn of the clip at the end makes either the pen or the pencil emerge from the tip.

I like how they're in there together, fighting eachother to get out. It makes me believe in love and democracy again.
