The Pen Addict Shop Is Ready For You!

The Pen Addict Shop is home to all of the amazing stationery collaboration projects I work on with some of my favorite brands, and this year, there are more than ever ready for the holiday shopping season.

While I don’t do general sales, Pen Addict Members can save 25% off everything currently listed in the store. Membership is $5 per month, or $48 for 12 months, and is the best way to support the work I do. And, I get to make fun stuff like this and pass some savings on to you!

The Pen Addict x Benu Pen 15th Anniversary Euphoria Fountain Pen was designed to celebrate The Pen Addict blog turning 15 … checks notes … tomorrow! This is a fun fountain pen from one of the most fun pen makers in the stationery world, and I’m thrilled to be able to work with Benu Pen on this collaboration.

Speaking of thrilled, I’m a big Montegrappa fan, and having the opportunity to participate in a limited run of the Montegrappa Venetia Rio Della Toletta Fountain Pen is a dream scenario. There are around 20 pens left in this run, and your Members discount equates to over TWO YEARS worth of annual subscription savings!

Opus 88

On popularity alone, I think The Pen Addict x Opus 88 Halo Fountain Pen has been my number one collaboration over the past couple of years. It is a workhorse pen, and looks cool as well. There are only about 60 left in this second production run, and there will not be a third run of this model, so grab one now if you are interested.

Aside from those great pens, I have the ever popular Robert Oster Fire on Fire Pen Addict exclusive ink in stock, a stunning black and orange Ajoto Pen collaboration, the Caran d’Ache 849 Ballpoint Pen Addict Edition, the Pen(cil) Addict Musgrave #1 pencil, and the super fun Mintlodica Retro 51 Pastel Shiba.

For the holidays, think about giving the gift of cool stationery. Maybe a Pen Addict Membership for yourself, and then 25% off anything currently listed in the Pen Addict Shop? That sounds like a winning combination to me!

As I approach seven years of full-time Pen Addict work, I can’t thank you enough for your continued support of all of my stationery shenanigans. Thank you!

Announcing The Pen Addict + Mintlodica Retro 51 Pastel Shiba

Get it right here.

I first met Susan Lin at the 2014 XOXO Festival in Portland, Oregon, and have been following her work ever since. Not only is she an artist and designer, she is a tech leader and champion of Women in Tech. In short, she is awesome.

In following her for as long as I have, I was very familiar with her style and aesthetic. It is right up my alley, and I knew as soon as I saw this image that it would be perfect for a Retro 51. Now, I just had to ask her if she was interested in collaborating with me. Thankfully, she said yes!

Working on this project with Susan, and in conjunction with Retro 51, has gone as smoothly as I could have hoped. We are thrilled at the outcome, and cannot wait to get the Pastel Shiba into your hands.

This year, I am not only selling a pen and supporting art, I am adding a charity component as well. Starting now, I will be donating $1000 during each Retro 51 project to a charity of the artists choosing. Susan has chosen the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and I am happy to donate to their excellent cause.

I hope you enjoy The Pen Addict + Mintlodica Retro 51 Pastel Shiba as much as we enjoyed making it!

I started stocking my custom Franklin-Christoph Model 02 fountain pen last November, and they sell out as fast as I get them in. The latest batch has arrived, so now is your chance to add one to your arsenal.

The Model 02 is one of my favorite Franklin-Christoph designs, with a tapered barrel for easy posting of the cap, along with a great overall shape and feel. And, of course, the exclusive to The Pen Addict color scheme
