After a longer break from my pen porn posts than I’d intended, I’m back with another special commission. I’ve wanted one of Lana le Roux’s<\/a> “layered” pens since Stanford Pen Studio (SPS) posted one for the first time. But, I could never quite figure out exactly what I wanted. Then it hit me. While I have my “Stacked Pride<\/a>” rainbow pen, I didn’t have a bisexual pride pen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I reached out to SPS and asked if Lana would be willing to take on this commission, and, happily, the answer was yes. I left the motif, design, etc. up to Lana, only asking that she use the bi flag colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I didn’t mention was that I was commissioning this as my 300th fountain pen. So, Lana, and Di and Dave, thank you for making my 300th pen so special!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, time for the pen porn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

360\u00b0 views<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As always, let’s start with the 360\u00b0 view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Stanford<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Art<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I have to start this section by saying that there’s one thing I couldn’t capture in photos. No matter how hard I tried, the three-dimensionality of the art just didn’t make it into the pictures. I don’t know if Lana had the pen recast in resin multiple times to achieve the 3D effect or if she’s just a genius, but some layers pop forward and others recede into the background, giving the pen a lot of dimension. And it’s not just the colors used. It’s not just the brighter leaves that pop, so it isn’t an optical illusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that out of the way, having spent a while staring at this pen, I think<\/em> Lana took leaves dipped in white paint and pressed them onto the black background, then went over them in color once they dried. Although, I’m not 100% positive. Whatever she did created a beautifully organic feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether a happy accident or intended meaning, using leaves for the motif adds an extra layer of meaning for me. While I’m lucky enough to have never felt ashamed \u2014 or be shamed \u2014 for who I am, this pen is a lovely reminder that bisexuality is just another facet of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finials<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Is it even an SPS pen if there isn’t a finial design at this point? The cap, of course, features the SPS finial coin. The barrel finial features \u2014 at my request \u2014 a bi pride flag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Signature<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

By now, you know I love finding the artist’s signature on SPS pens. Lana hid hers so well that it took a thorough examination in bright light for me to find it. I wish it were a bit more visible. I would have welcomed it in white in one of the negative spaces, or near one of the finials. But, since I found it, it’s easier to see. Granted, it’s easy to see here, zoomed in and enlarged, but go back and find it on the 360\u00b0 photo layout. Even knowing where it is, I bet it takes you a few moments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’m so happy to have this pen as part of my collection. Lana, thank you for knocking it out of the park!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
