A different kind of Noris in the wild

Blog reader John from Dublin has been in contact and sent me this information.

I do not know if this counts as a true “Noris in the wild” but I was in a Chinese market in my home town of Dublin, Ireland and bought three of these for €3. Having distributed them between my work, home and edc and relied on their presence several times I think they may have become my favourite Noris’ to date.

It’s great to see that the mechanical Noris gets some love, too!

Thanks for this information and the photos.

IMG_1336A manly Noris

Well, I guess this is proof that the Noris is a very manly pencil, assuming that wood work is manly:

I saw this book in my local supermarket and spotted that the Noris is playing an important part.

A Hobonichi Tradition

Nice to see the Staedtler Tradition being featured in the latest Hobonichi video

A cineatic Noris

There also a cinema ad for the Noris, unfortunately it’s for the Noris Colour, not for the Noris graphite pencil

Monocle

I also noticed that Monocle magazine, mentioned previously, has a penmanship supplement. Unfortunately there isn’t much there except a nice big photos showing a few pens, most of them expensive.

 

A Noris Print and Egg

Since we’ve been talking about the Noris, have a look at this Noris print from the Well -Appointed Desk…

…or this Noris Easter Egg from Lexikaliker.

 

A graphite Pac-Man

…and for all fans of graph paper and classic video games: The original notebook sketches for Pac-Man.

Shaun the Sheep’s Noris

Shaun the Sheep is using a Noris. Who would have thought. Yes, it is a cartoon version of a Noris, but it is unmistakably a Noris. Nice!

I have added these images to the Noris in the Wild page.

This episode is actually from 2012, but I have never seen Shaun the Sheep before, so this blog post is a bit late. I only noticed it because I had a children’s programme on for the little one.

I believe that the use of the image, taken from Episode 10 Bye Bye Barn of Season 3 of Shaun the Sheep, shown in this blog post, falls under “fair dealing” as described by the UK Copyright service.
