Sketch Nerds: Want to Help Kickstart This Designey Felt-Tipped Pen?
…then you'd better hurry
There is the "jotting something down" version of sketching, where you grab the nearest mark-making object and scrap of paper to capture an idea; some gewgaw drawn in lipstick on the back of a receipt. Then there is the prepared type of sketching you do in the studio, where many of you probably prefer to have a tightly curated arsenal of pens/pencils/markers at your disposal.
Enter a caption (optional)This product is for the latter type of sketching, and it's pretty niche: When you want more single-pass line weight than a rollerball can produce, but less than what a marker puts out, industrial designers Tony Badu and Coco Lombarte hope that you'll reach for their unnamed felt-tipped pens in aluminum or titanium.
If you want one, you'd better spread the word, and fast: At press time there were only three days left to pledge, and they'd only garnered $11,245 on a $39,373 goal. If you want to help get it across the finish line, here's the campaign.

No wonder why they're not even close to being funded, that pitch video was so bad. They dont even show or talk about the product until 2 minutes in, and when they do its zoomed in on the tip. They don't give an explanation of why this pen is a good idea, just briefly mention it being sustainable. Sounds like they made the pen for the sake of it, couldn't even come up with a name for it.
"Designey" isn't a word
When does a word become a word? I think it's become an acceptable adjective
My negative Nellie is like "They're not crowdfunding a pen; they're crowdfunding a shell!"; they don't make the refills, ACME does. Isn 't that weird? They spent all this time and research to just make a cylinder that another cartridge screws into? I'm not sure I get it.
That's what CW&T did with their first product.
