Everyone, give it up for Bob Truby! His amazing brand name pencils site should be visited right now, without hesitation. So good. A history lesson and a typography lesson. Brilliant.

You know, they just don’t make ‘em like they used to. I’ve said it before, and will say it again a million goddamn times. Sure iPods and iPhones and all that are pretty amazing, but, but, but, there is just something so good, so good, about a pencil Made In America.

Ray Fenwick and his little world of big typographic illustration. Bravo. Instant fanfare. Adopt me, man. Great work, great name.
