Jacques Pense has struck the perfect creative/sick bastard balance with this award winning stationery designed for 13th Street, the German horror network. Sadly it’s only a concept at this point, so it’s a crap shoot whether you’ll ever be able to use impaled heads on your letters to grandma.

Whenever I used to write things down in notebooks, I would always position the pad diagonally—especially when I was writing in cramped quarters. I say “used to” because it’s been a long time since, you know, I actually wrote something down. I have a cellphone that handles that for me nowadays. Still, this is a great concept from designer Matt Brown.
Need to take down some notes while you’re whipping up that pasta sauce? This wooden spoon pencil makes it possible with one utensil. However, without a drip guard and with the constant threat of having to move closer and closer to a boiling pot after each sharpening, you might as well rename your mitt “Indi-hand-a Jones” and brace yourself for a non-stop thrill ride as he tries to escape dinner preparation without getting burned.

Teachers have a real battle on their hands when it comes to cheating in the classroom. Today’s slackers have turned to gadgets in their quest for good grades—and now you can add walkie talkie pens to their aresenal. Obviously, this method is not without its risks. The pens are a tad conspicuous and you might draw attention to yourself when you call out: “Breaker breaker, this is Cheech calling for Chong. I’ve hit a roadblock. What the answer to number 20? Come on.”

Poor little guy—you can see the fear and suffering on his face. He can sharpen seven pencils at a time and puke up the shavings through his mouth. Nice.

I have seen handmade matchbook notebooks in the past, but this version is slick and streamlined with tin covers based on vintage matchbooks and a notepad adorned with a matchstick print. It can even be hung on the wall as a piece of functional art. Size: 7-inches tall by 5-inches wide.

We have seen fighting pens before, but this skeleton version is just a tad more menacing with its glowing red eyes and Terminator-like appearance.

I’m not a big fan of the title Quantum of Solace, but I love what I see from the new trailer. There isn’t much in the way of merchandise on the market just yet, but you could get your hands on a promo mug and pen set if you are willing to pay an outrageous price for it. And, iIf you haven’t seen it already, the latest trailer is available after the break.
