Testimonial: "When I was 8 years old I got my first mechanical pencil.
Yes, it was a Pentel, but I didn't even know what it meant.
So my father sat next to me and said: "See son, a customer left this mechanical pencil in my shoe store and said I could keep it for myself or give it as a gift. I'll leave it up to you, but this isn't an ordinary mechanical pencil, it's an artist's mechanical pencil! So you must be very careful with her, understand?" ... My eyes lit up(...)
This fact marked my life, because every time I knelt on the edge of our old sofa and used that mechanical pencil to draw my heroes, I felt like a real artist!
More than 30 years have passed and this feeling has not changed, The difference is that today my drawings came out of that boy's room and projected my art into the world.
Today, I am an ambassador for the Pentel brand, however, I still don't know if I was the one who chose it or did she chose me to tell this story!
Charles Laveso." |
