I had some paper out with a big pile of pens right on top, and this guy decided to take a dive into it. It’s the world first pen slip n slide, a bit dangerous, but with practice you can do it “write” without hurting yourself.
These two little guys waited all year to donate their old pens to the Mercedes Pens Art Car. They came last year and were able to glue a few pens on the car. Thank you:)

Today an interview I did with Curtiss Kim from KSRO 1350 AM airs, in fact I am up at the crack of dawn to write a little, put up some new photos and listen for the show. The show airs this morning from 5:30 to 9am, noon and again form 3-6pm. To Curtiss and the KSRO team, I thank you for the opportunity to talk about Mercedes Pens and my journey as the Pen Guy. To all of you in Santa Rosa and Sebastopol and the rest of Sonoma County, I love making you smile as we pass by each other, it is my goal in life to make as many of you laught out loud as I can, by driving this wacky, pen covered car. I would also love to come by your schools, business, organizations, or events to share more of my life journey in the hopes that I would encourage you to go out and follow your dreams and desires for your life. All the best, and dont forget to wave, honk, call or email me with your thoughts.
Here is Mara, Elise and Jeff three of the four really neat ex-terns, long story but when they left I made them some Pen Guy fridge magnets as a going away present. I glued a pen on a toy car, with a magnet glued underneath it. Only four of these are in existence today which will be worth something one day, long after I am gone, I hope.
Thank you all who have donated and continue to support this project!!!
