Proper little men straight as a “pin” are created by Duncan Shotton and made in the UK.  Their long, pointy noses echos the Pinocchio story as does their name, Real Boy. They are each carefully hand painted in Tokyo. A package includes two pins which are individually numbered out of 1000 released. Their debut is at this year’s 2012 Designboom Mart Tokyo as part of Tokyo’s Designers Week which lasts from October 30th through November 5th.
Tack up notes and postcards to a cork board with these handsome gentlemen. They are always kind and never fuss to hold your reminders and ideas in place for when you need them.

I find a way to fearlessly provoke your senses and take you by the heart to whatever it is I’m writing about. My sweet spot is creative writing, but for the last 20 years I have been providing freelance content for publications on sustainability and green practices, design, architecture, fashion, and non-profit charity. Recently all wrapped up in producing my first book. I have bounced from NYC to Indianapolis, but my true home is a lovely small town in Central Pennsylvania where there’s a legit drive-your-tractor-to-school-day.
