Before COVID, Czech newspapers called me “Penmaker for Presidents” :)

BTW… am I just too nerdy, or is Trump(🤮) actually signing orders with a Sharpie? 🤮

A newspaper article in Czech featuring a story about handcrafted pens made for presidents and dignitaries. The headline reads “Perař pro prezidenty” (Penmaker for Presidents). The article includes images of wooden pens, the process of making them, and a portrait of Dominik holding several of his handcrafted pens. The background features a blue wall with golden space-themed illustrations, including planets, stars, and mathematical symbols.

One penmaker is thriving, however. Children across Europe love Legami gel pens, with their animal heads and catchy slogans. Some schools have resorted to banning them, to prevent distraction, peer pressure and outright theft
Even Europe’s penmakers are under threat
But one quirky Italian brand is thriving

Also Australia. One massively talented penmaker from AU has stopped his work and gone back to a day job. I'll never stop loathing the Neanderthals who voted in this hellscape.

Thanks Bob! It's been a while since I did kits. Maybe time to get some out again? It was great fun seeing what other people did with them.
The world should tell me to make some more!

A top-down shot shows eight wooden pens arranged horizontally on a dark, textured wooden surface. Each pen is handmade with a distinctive wood grain and a sleek, polished finish. They are evenly spaced in a single row across the center of the frame. The pens alternate in color, creating a pattern of light and dark wood. The first pen on the left is a rich, dark brown, followed by a lighter, golden-brown pen, and this alternating pattern continues across the row. Each pen features metallic accents at both ends and in the middle, likely gold or silver colored, which adds a touch of sophistication to their rustic design. The background surface is a deep, muted black with visible wood grain, providing a stark contrast that highlights the natural beauty and craftsmanship of the pens. A top-down, eye-level shot shows eight handmade wooden pens arranged horizontally on a dark, textured wooden surface. The pens vary slightly in shape, with some having a more rounded, bulbous center while others are straighter. They are all made from different types of wood, showcasing a range of unique grains and rich colors from light golden-brown to deep, dark brown. Each pen features metallic tips, centers, and caps, with colors that appear to be a mix of silver and gold. They are evenly spaced in a single row across the center of the frame. The background is a very dark, almost black wood with a visible grain, which makes the pens stand out and highlights their detailed craftsmanship.
