I hope you enjoy this selection of ballpoint creativity.

When artists create works of art, they use different colors and techniques. White gel pens are some of the most critical components to help make their masterpiece more memorable. When I filmed this video, the Uni-ball Signo I was using was 4 years old – so it wasn’t really a fair comparison. In my video, the Broad felt a little bit scratchy, and worked well on some mediums, but not so good on others. It has been disappointing on the pencils, but great on the markers. I love sharing my hobby with kids because these chalk markers are dustless, non-toxic, and eco-friendly.
