Q.When have you enjoyed using your Stylo/Tradio pen?
I really love the Tradio pen when I draw my patterns. The sound of the pen on paper, the way the ink flows from the tip and it fits in my hand perfectly. The patterns arise in my sketchbook organically without too much thinking. It's kind of meditative. The Tradio pen does exactly what I want and how I want it.
Q.What would you like to say to the Stylo/Tradio to celebrate their 40th anniversary this year?
Funny fact: Pentel/Tradio and I come from the same year (1979) and will be 40 years old in 2019. Thanks for creating this great pen and congratulations!
