Pen Guy Hard Hat 2.0

Pen Guy Hard Hat 2.0 Made from Gel Pens
I just finished the new Pen Guy Hard Hat 2.0. Now that I can bend Gel Pens with my (mind, I wish) heat gun I can do any curved surface. The corners of my bumbers need some pens, which I will get to in the next 14 days. I also have three more door panels to go.

New Fake Grass Interior in Mercedes Pens


Memorial day monday I completed the Mercedes Pens interior using AstroTurf Type Fake Grass. I Bought a nice 6×9 piece from Home Depot, and with enough hot glue and staples I lined each interior panel and the carpet with it. Took me all afternoon by I did it, and sure beats that nasty old grey dirty carpet that the car came with.


I also finished decorating my dashboard with all the nice pens. A little velcro on the back of each pen allows it to stick to the cover.

And a special thanks to Mark who not only put a link to his blog epromos blog but sent me a box of really nice Zig Zag Lite Pen. I gave them all away and then one day they will all come back, empty:)

Mercedes Pens Door Finished Using Gel Pens


I finally finished my first door panel on the Mercedes Pens Ar Car. I managed to bend a whole bunch of Gel Pens with a heat gun and glue them on the painted door panel in the shape of a tree with 100% Clear silicone. I wanted to see how much further I could take my art using pens. And this time I was able to go a step further by combining acrylic painting as a backdrop for the 3D pen sculpture mounted on the door. One down three more doors to go.

I will be located in the Kids Zone gluying pens on the Mercedes Pens with a little help from those of you who come by. My newly constructed PVC instrument will be open for any of you who want to play with it. If you have any dead pens you would like to donate please feel free to drop them off. See you there.

Maker Fair 07 was Fantastic!!!

The Maker Fair at San Mateo Fairgrounds was a fantastic event. I was there for two days with the Mercedes Pens and the newest addition to my art car, the Blue Man Group Inspired PVC instrument on the roof. Visitors to the fair and especially kids added 400 more pens to my car. The outside is really close to completion, that means I need to find or make more space for more pens. The inside is next and the PVC Instrument on top will have more pens as well. Thank you to all who came by to see and interact with my car. Especially those of you who added your pens to it:) The PVC instrument was a hit and many of you got play with it.


Hood almost completed:)
