My pencils draw worlds 
Thanks for sharing these excellent photos and reviews; I’m looking forward to your future posts!
Thank you very much, still very lonely here so your comment means much to me.
It takes a little while for people to find new pencil blogs but you’ll see—I’m sure you’ll have many visitors soon.
Well, that solved that! Really greatly appreciated!
Congratulations on both finds and thanks from me as well – I am looking forward to reading more!
Thank you!
Enjoyed your review and especially your art work. Hope you keep adding more.
Thank you very much. Really means a lot to me that you like what you read and see. More in the works: next up Sanford Eagle, Tombow Mono and Hardtmuth 110
Very cool pencil and sharpener! I’m totally jealous! Keep up the good work and keep the pics coming! Just found your blog via a facebook post from Pencil Revolution. Thanks for posting some great examples of what the pencils can sketch out! 🙂
Thanks alot!
Great blog! I love reading about your pencils and seeing your drawings, thanks for taking the time to share. That Janus is a special sharpener, the only handheld I know of that produces a very long concave point to rival Carl’s rotary machines. Pretty sure I read about it on Lexikaliker. It is out of production for many years, is it not?
Thank you very much. Yes the Janus is out of production since some very long time ago and yes you read about on Lexikaliker because that’s the place I read about it too. Unfortunatly the one is got is pretty much only for collecting and not really useable as the blade is very blunt. The Carl Bungo Ryodo is an amazing machine, which produces fantastic points, but as you say it is not a handheld. But I’ll keep an eye out for another Janus, or maybe try sharpening its blade, but that seems to reduce its effectivenes.
