I recently spent about 15 minutes total sharpening these pencils with a 20 year old 2 inch long very dull "manual" (turn, turn, turn about 50 times for each pencil) pencil sharpener. When I finished this project, I thought to myself that there ought to be some reward beyond just the satisfaction of having some usable pencils to write with. So I took these shots. The pictures would be better I'm sure if I'd used a tripod as these views were all hand-held with very high ISO's at fairly long exposures. But I had a good time anyway!
Another household invention that's used a lot at our house. This old pencil sharpener was on the closet door when we moved in 13 years ago and I imagine it had been there 25 years before that. My sons have determined that Ticonderoga pencils are the best and this contraption gets a lot of use to keep them sharp.

From this selection, my current favorite is the well-designed Mitsubishi Uni-ball Leadholder F with the brown body leadholder with the added purple pencil grip. The diameter of its hexagonal barrel is slightly wider that the Staedtler Mars Technico and feels quite solid and comfortable to hold. The small flange on its push button makes it easier to activate and advance the lead which features a stopper ring to prevent the Uni F lead from falling out and breaking.

I got tired of using a manual sharpener so got this one and it works so well and is much easier to use.
Mixy loves all things extreme! When he's not sky surfing or riding bulls, he likes to relax with a little cave diving or to play with his poison arrow frog. His favorite sandwich is habanero peppers and wasabi on pumpernickel, and when he sleeps, which is not often, it is on a bed of nails.
Robot sculpture assembled from found objects by Brian Marshall - Wilmington, DE. Items included in my sculptures vary from vintage household kitchen items to recycled industrial scrap. Some of my favorite items to use are old oil cans, aluminum measuring spoons, electrical meters, retro blenders, anodized cups, and pencil sharpeners.
City East Exchange, Sydney. The most interesting aspect of this is that it harks back to a day when there were enough people actually permanently housed inside exchanges to need to sharpen their pencils.
This is the latest pencil sharpener I bought. I got it on a childrens flea market. If you sharpen a pencil (or alternatively use the key that comes with the robot), you are winding it up and afterwards he is walking.

with Hello Kitty pencils of course!
the paint has worn off even worse on this side of the sharpener & the red part of the "HELLO KITTY" writing has almost gone completely, leaving white paint underneath. I'm not sure whether to try to restore the whole thing or leave it as it is. I'll probably just settle for cleaning it up a little bit & the yellowed plastic will be impossible to restore back to white.
In the search for the perfect sharpener, I bought *eight* different sharpeners...so, I figured, why not draw one?

Classic piece of historical bicycle culture. Knife sharpeners rode around offering their services both in the country and city.
I saw one a mere five years ago sharpening knives in the courtyard for the chefs in a restaurant.
While the majority of these sharpeners performed well when brand new, I find that the KUM blades seem to provide me with the longer life of service. Blog entry.

The 1980s pencil sharpeners are from the collection of Prof William A Callahan www.lse.ac.uk/researchAndExpertise/Experts/profile.aspx?K... who has about 200 of them.
Little things amuse me. Finding a replica pencil sharpener of the one I used to have as a child has thrilled me to pieces. I sharpened every single pencil in the house.
I r a dork.

Pencil Sharpener Rant - Inkling on Moleskine, again
Yet another week passed seeing nonsense going on in certain poor company-wide execution. Poor logic, calculation and consideration (no those are not algorithms, at all) executed in the name of efficiency and ideal automation. Simply said, replacing human decision with formulae requires deep understanding and serious simulations *before* execution. Now is the stage when a lot more human intervention is required to fix certain poor logics.
Yes I'm a sharpener mining my my own business shaping the future in my own ways. Forcing some nonsense into me and I'll keep cranking until raging fume comes out because I refuse to play nice to nonsense. The day when I need protection is the day I lost my value as a sharpener, as blades are not meant to be protected, they are to shape.
Ok, enough self proclaimed heroism. This is just a quick sketch using Inkling on my Moleskine, graphically rant about my recent encounter with sick things. The drawing was exported to Photoshop using Sketch Manager and colored in a sloppy way. Enough to calm me down, call it a therapy.
Wacom Hong Kong is going to have a press conference on 28th Sep 2011 to announce Inkling officially. Since I'm a big fan of Inkling and still sort of a Moleskine fanatic while luckily being the stationery buyer of a retail chain, I'm arranging a promotion in October: Buy Inkling and get 20% off for Moleskine Sketchbook (large or small). This simulation of store display was done in 30 minutes while attending a presentation meeting. I'm very happy to be able to get support from both Wacom and Moleskine for such campaign in such a short time. It won't be a big hit, but at least it benefits certain stationery lovers who happen to love both Inkling and Moleskine. Let's see how it will turn out.

Our garden elfs are still playing...
Pentax 645D, SMC Pentax 67 LS 1:4 165mm @ f.11. The elfs were very popular "actors" in a Danish TV commercial for a cable TV company - Viasat some years back - so popular, that a company started making these little fellows in cheramic . The auto exposure metering seems to be working quite well. Sharpened for display with Nik Pro 3 sharpener. It's too sharp, actually. This would NOT work for portraits - the models would HATE it! Brilliant lens (165mm 1:4 LS lens for Pentax 67 :-)
