Happy New Year, you inky savages. This week, we announce the winner of the Goldspot giveaway for a Benu Talisman Ice & Snow fountain pen. Since Tom and his bosses at Goldspot can't make my birthday dinner this month, they will sponsor another giveaway in honor of ME.
 
To enter the giveaway, draw a picture of a man with a bald head and an impressive beard. Then, make up a reason why Bryce (from Luxury Brands USA) should grow a beard. Don't worry if you lack artistic skill. We're looking for a hilarious combination of image and picture. Post this picture and caption on Instagram and tag @goldspotpens @penboyroy @inkjournal @luxury_brandsofamerica #bryceshouldgrowabeard
 
On around my birthday, I will pick a winner that will receive an entire set of Platinum Preppy Wa the 2nd fountain pens (6 pens total) and another winner will be chosen for a yet-to-be-determined prize from Luxury Brands (Bryce doesn't know this yet). If you don't do social media, you can e-mail us your entry (pentertainmentpodcast@gmail.com) and we will post it on your behalf.

There's seeing, and then there's observing. The world is filled with details we rarely notice. But, when we do, our written thoughts serve as a keepsake - an impression of what our minds managed to gather. The Endless Observer lay-flat notebook is your canvas to capture the moment forever. The acid-free, 80 gsm dot grid pages are suited for use with fountain pen inks and juicy nibs. Available soon as most fine pen and stationery retailers.
