This morning, I went a little OCD on my work pens in preparation for doing some lettering today. I sorted out all the brush pens from the felt tip and rollerballs since they all behave differently on paper. Then I did a little warm-up and test drive of all of them to figure out if…

Review: Pentel Energel 0.35 Needle Point
The Pentel Energel 0.35 Needle Point ($2.50) is a pen I can’t believe I had never tried or owned before last week. I’ve heard others talk about them but I’d never tried one. It was about time! In the past, I’d only ever seen the larger point sizes (0.5, 0.7 and 1.0) and I knew…
