Pencil by FiftyThree is a revolutionary stylus for touch-screen devices. Use Pencil with Paper for iPad to express your ideas beautifully and easily.
Guillaume Decugis's insight:

I've used Paper by 53 to doodle and it grew on me. I now try to draw when I travel or have spare time (not too often unfortunately...). Have to say styluses are highly recommended for iPad painting - even though Steve Jobs mocked them when launching the iPad and made clear the device wouldn't need any.


Will try this out!

Guillaume Decugis's curator insight, November 20, 2013 9:58 AM

When Steve Jobs launched the iPad he mocked styluses and made sure everybody understood you wouldn't need one. But a few years later we now have professional artists like David Hockney who became iPad painters (currently at the de Young museum for fellow San Franciscans) and if you tried to draw on the iPad (like I grew to like it), having a good stylus really makes a difference. 


After launching Paper, an an awesome app for drawing on the iPad - the best I've tried - 53 is now introducing a stylus that doesn't look engineered by techies but by artists. With a reasonable price point and a great App, this could be the start of a creative ecosystem that could make drawing and painting a more mainstream activity on tablest.

I haven't yet: sticking to my Bamboo stylus for my drawings right now... But will update if I can get my hands on one of these: promised!

absolutely awesome looking pen, too bad it will only work (with all features) on paper53 which I use only infrequently.

I can't afford to buy all the cool geek stuff out there. So I collect them here instead. Feel free to suggest yours!
