I have been in the process of tracking down some drawing pencils the past couple of days and I have been thinking about going to pencil for my personal journals. My wife just had both parents die rather suddenly, and I noticed how reading their letters brought back so many memories for her I decided that paper journals might be better for posterity than blogging. Does anyone know how well pencil holds up over time? What a surprise to find this place!

Great designs, clever packaging and best of all, made from recycled newspaper. This is not an evolutionary step, but revolutionary. As our recycled newspaper pencils just are better than wood. Wood pencils always have an air gap left when the chiseled out portion for the graphite doesn't mesh with the two sides held together with glue. this air gap causes the graphite to easily snap when it drops. Not O'BON pencils, go ahead smash them on the side of the table. I mean really whack it over and over, the results. Sharpen and see that the graphite is intact, no breakage. Why? Our exclusive roll-on method with our formula water-based glue means there is no air gap - no the vibration within the pencil is non-existant. The force of the drop on one side of the pencil just come out on the other. Try them, go to http://school-obon.com and check us out.

I've been watching this site waiting for new posts but alas, nothing has come of it. If the revolution has achieved its goals, perhaps a new title and new era for this blog should be born? In any event, I enjoyed the posts and still refer to some of them in my own work. Onward! I suppose after nearly a year, the revolution is over.

They're very common in Europe and Asia, but in Wasteful America, nobody knows what they are. Had to go to Dick Blick to find them (art supplies).

Tally ho fellow comrade! Regarding the relocation of the editor, I want to extend an offer of my efforts in whatever way they may be helpful in furthering the goals of the Revolution. I am an attorney with undergrad training in English Lit. I will write, review, edit prose, or do whatever else I can, however, I am not the most skilled web site designer/manipulator. The extent of my experience in that area is using blogspot to chronicle the immediate aftermath of my exodus from Katrina-ravaged New Orleans http://www.ryanhatler.blogspot.com). Anywho, I think all who visit this site agree that THE REVOLUTION MUST GO ON! Please feel free to contact me if you feel I can be of service to the continued pursuit of pencil perfection. Ever forward Comrades!
