Duncan-Shotton-Planet-Pins

Stationery From Duncan Shotton Design Studios

December 16, 2017

After a week that was, well, a touch frustrating and stressful, and now that we're heading into the final stretch before the holidays, I thought it might be fun to take a look at some recently arrived stationery products that are just that - fun! You may recall Tokyo-based, British Duncan Shotton from the "Rainbow Pencils" Kickstarter that launched and successfully funded several years back. Not only are the Rainbow Pencils still going strong five years later, but they're now joined by some other great travel/ufo/paranormal-themed stationery, which of course I ordered immediately. 

These  sticky page markers  are an excellent alternative to boring 3M plastic flags. (Fellow office drones, you know what I'm talking about here.)

The Rainbow Pencils are made from layers of colored recycled paper, so as you sharpen them you get the "Rainbow effect." (See below).

A pretty poor showing of what the Rainbow Pencil can do, but the only sharpener I had within reach was cheap (and, apparently, very dull). These rainbow pencils have dark, soft graphite that's a pleasure to write with.

Godzilla Stickers anyone? I received these as freebies with my order!

Takeaways and Where to Buy

I'm 100% on board with what Duncan Shotton is doing here, and I'll be looking to pick up some more of his stationery (and perhaps some other products) after I replenish the budget for 2018. If any of this interests you, you can order in one of two places. I purchased via the Duncan Shotton Etsy store, which has all of the products featured in this post. There's a somewhat larger web store on his main site, with additional items that don't appear on Etsy (like these Nessie-themed push pins).
