    Pencil biters beware. Don't smile in the dark.

    I have never felt I needed pencils…until now. And in my favorite glowie green color! Don't ya just hate it when the glow fades? There is a glow pigment I just found out about, called LIT. It's supposed to be the "glowiest" on the planet. It's pretty good stuff. Has to be mixed with a clear gesso medium, as it is a powder.
    Check it out if you get the chance. I built a Batman bat symbol wall shelf for a friend, with a rising moon behind the symbol, and painted the moon a pale yellow, with light gray craters, and painted the moon with LIT, which dries almost transparent. Made a great image when the lights go out.

    please more pencil/pens reviews

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Helge Frisenette says:

    The Blackwing is vastly overrated. Donโ€™t buy into the hype.
    There are much better pencils out there for reasonable prices.

    Pencils for geeks? – That's Fran-tastic! Maybe I'll splash out on a box……….

    I bought a box of Blackwings after the last video you did recommending them โ€”ย I don't think I'll ever go back. Great recommendation, thanks Fran!

    Can one use them in the dark?

    I saw your channel because of the nimo tube an i immediately subscribed

    I got a box of black-wings a year or two ago. They are quite good. But, the Staedtler Norica is still my favorite. I just prefer the very black line and a little feedback. The blackwings are just too smooth for me.

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tony's Place says:

    OMG, I had to get a couple of boxes of these! Geektastic!!!

    Fran – I'm a 62-year-old retired aerospace electronics engineer that grew up wanting to be in broadcasting and wound up doing broadcast engineering. I specialized in audio processing for radio stations and knew many of the pioneers in the field. I've been following you since your early days when you were being attacked for just being you. I love what you do and it would be fun to chat sometime and exchange stories. Good luck with your youtube channel. If you are interested in hearing some of the early stories of radio and the way we fought to sound louder, but cleaner than the station next door (lol, in the AM days of clear-channel radio), I'd love to tell you. It might provide you with a few video ideas. I'd also love to hear more about how you got into your nitch. I'm impressed.
