Today we look at the Skittles pen by Gravitas Pens. That's right, it looks and smells like Skittles, something which I was not expecting at all when I was unboxing it for this review.
You can find the pen here: www.gravitaspens.com/shop
And here's Ben's instagram: benwalshdes...
Personal preferences are such a particular thing, I know because typically I am not so enthused by cigar and torpedo style pens, it just seems like such an overdone style. But this one drew me back in, with the entrancing rainbow finish, alluring weight, and weird balls at each end, it just feels like something special. They didn't pay me for this I promise, I just like it!

The spine, or line down the middle, is actually representative of the edge of a stone or wood that Ogham was originally designed to be carved into. It wasn't until fairly modern times that it was adapted to be written instead of carved. :)

I know nothing about pens or how to draw, but the commentary and your personality keeps me around. (Of course your art is very cool too).
