Peter Warrior: Pen & Pencil Expert

With nearly a decade of experience in the pen industry, I successfully ran an online pen business for 9 years. My deep-rooted passion for pens and pencils led me to become a part-time blogger, where I've dedicated myself to sharing the wealth of knowledge I've amassed over the years. I'm a firm believer in the power of the written word, as echoed by Malcolm Forbes: "Putting pen to paper lights more fire than matches ever will." My expertise is not just rooted in business, but in the genuine appreciation and understanding of the art of writing instruments.

Zebra Telescopic Brights Ballpoint Pen Review

October 16, 2024April 26, 2013 by Peter Warrior: Pen & Pencil Expert

As I set about reviewing the Telescopic Brights range of Zebra pens, my brain ticked over searching for a reason for wanting such a slim short specimen. That’s when thoughts drifted to evenings out in my glad rags (which are few & far between these days) when every centimetre counts in those nano bags just about big enough to hold a credit card & small set of keys, let alone a full length pen.

Pentel EnerGel X 0.7 – Review

October 17, 2024April 23, 2013 by Peter Warrior: Pen & Pencil Expert

Hear the mention of the 3 R’s & I automatically think of school, reading writing & arithmetic. An idiom I’ve always found odd as only one word begins with an R.

Today, Reduce, Reuse & Recycle is a phrase known as the 3 R’s of the environment & makes much more sense to me, which leads on nicely to the review of the Pentel EnerGel X Bl 107.

MS Paint Artist Jim Takes Your Requests

October 2, 2023April 4, 2013 by Peter Warrior: Pen & Pencil Expert

You know how much we at The Pen Vibe admire those who can draw and paint, so we just had to share this guy’s work, even though he doesn’t work in paper and ink.

‘Jim’ is an artist with the Microsoft Paint program. According to his ‘Jim’ll Paint It‘ Tumblr, that’s all he uses to produce pieces requested by his fans.

I am here to make your wildest dreams a reality using nothing but Microsoft Paint (no tablets, no touch ups). Ask me to paint anything you wish and I will try no matter how specific or surreal your demands. While there aren’t enough hours in the day to physically paint every suggestion I will consider them all. Bonus points for originality and humour. Use your imagination!

Absolutely no idea how he does it, especially given the hallucinogenic natures of the things that people ask him to create.

I love rollerballs. Generally speaking those with liquid ink provide a consistent free-flowing line, no surprise that I’m looking forward to reviewing the Staedtler liquid point 5.

Staedtler Fineliner 306 S Review

October 17, 2024March 26, 2013 by Peter Warrior: Pen & Pencil Expert

I’ve always been a believer in the old adage don’t judge a book by its cover. The fact that the appearance of this fineliner is not my idea of attractive, didn’t stop me giving it a chance to redeem itself by putting in a good performance.

A metal clad fibre tipped pen that writes a 0.3mm line the Staedtler Fineliner 306 S contains dry safe ink, which is airplane safe.
