These are fictional magazine covers from Blade Runner. They were created by production illustrator Tom Southwell in 1980-1981 and appeared in the background on a magazine stand in the city streets. (!!!!)

I got my Usus Pi Pacific in the post last week. I was looking for a nice pen to put my needle-tip Ohto ballpoint refill in, as it sadly won’t fit properly in a Parker Jotter.

I’m really happy with the Usus. Gorgeous matte metallic blue case, with a “switch”-style retracting mechanism I’ve not seen elsewhere. Not sure about the cylindrical tip, but it looks fine with the Ohto refill in it, although I imagine if I used a regular refill, it might look a bit odd.

I was a little worried the lack of a grip would make it uncomfortable to write with, but it’s rare for me to write for long periods of time so it might end up a moot point.
