I’d make it out of radium. Give you something to really worry about.

His stuff is pretty amazing and I wish I could afford one of his more elaborate sculptures. I’m using one of his digital “schematics” as my desktop background as an inspiration for a game design (that I have yet to get started on and knowing me never will)

Dang, I need one of these! What’s the cheapo variant? Bic pens, fold-out car keys, lip balm containers etc doesn’t cut it for me any more…

But I think I’m fine just fidgeting with a clicky-pen.

Could be mistaken for a bullet - don’t think it would be bright idea to fidget with in a US public setting, especially when black.

People got shot for less.

That’s inspiring.

Weirdly enough, not that far from reality:
