Last Sunday during the making of the Pen Guy documentary we shot the creation of the pen covered mail box version 2.0. Paul filmed me in my workshop opening up my mail, taken the pens out and covering this mail box with donated pens. I was also filmed picking up this box of pens at the Forestville post office.
The used pens were donated by Hanna F. and sent in from Washington DC who also said in a note:

“Enjoy the pens! I hope they live on in an awesome art project”. – Hannah

Thank you Hanna, your pens will live on my new pen covered mail box for a long time. And it will make my mail man and my neighbors smile come rain or shine.

Pen Covered Ugly Mailbox




The Ugly Mailbox blog has recently become one of my favorite web sites. Its down right addictive and I don’t know why. Maybe it’s a way to know my mail box isn’t as bad as those “other” guys. But why on earth would I cover my mail box in pens? It could be a way to prove I can “out ugly” the best of them. If I can’t win the prettiest mailbox, maybe I can win the ugly mailbox instead, plus now I have an excess of pens collected and a bit of free time to think of knew surfaces to adhere this wonderful invention we call the pen.
