Aug 13 2009Pen Lets You Draw With Any Color You See

#4009?

this would be much sweeter if it was real.

great thought though.

i will take 12!!!!!!

Moo

I'd buy it just bc it looks cool

Conceptual - great.

Great was meant to be sarcastic. Like, "I never know what to expect from Daisy!"

Okay, something that is "conceptual" does not actually exist, even in prototype form. I love headlines that mislead you into thinking a product is real (And yes I know it says it's a concept in the article).

Also, that pen could never work. Red, green, and blue inks do not mix to form standard colors. That pen would need standard printing inks (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) to actually work.

Neat idea in theory though.

GW, why are you up posting so early????? You should still be wasted.... or did you find dinos in NY and pull an all nighter?????

Happy Hangover Day !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol, i want that pen. Perfect almost every artist.

good idea

@GW

why can YOU swear in the post but we cant swear in the comments?

I haven't seen a pen in years, nice concept though

Today... had coffee in the morning as usual... and realized my stupid let´s say... -he-who-makes-big-problems-out-of-nowhere-... told me I was going to change place again next to an annoying little teenager who likes to talk to himself and flirts with whoever is around... so I nicely asked what could have been done and -he-who-makes-big-problems-out-of-nowhere- said just ask somenone else and that´s it, I found two people and he started just going around and says the pros and cons had to be taken into consideration bl abla bla... I'm tired of working with this moron... he totally contradicts himself.... If I could just erase him or at least not work with him... anyway... any suggestions in how to cope with this something? ... I might get a tshirt stating... I work with stupid and I'm not happy about it....

btw... the pen looks cool

Happy Left handed day" :)

good thing its only conceptual since it should have cmyk ink instead or rgb..

its basically an inkjet printer at a single point... its actually pretty plausable

@9.... its because he's the gw thats why....

and hes a douche

@11

BURN it Down.

OMG! What if you held it up to the light? Would it draw something that emitted light? Or what about holding it up to the infinite void of space? Vacuum creating pen.

Or would it only ever draw brown?

pretty rad. do want pen

@11 what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Bring him onto geekologie comments so we can get this all sorted out

@17 naas... totally agree thanks for the umput... I will try to pull him into geekologie altough I believe he cannot even use a computer nor speak English (write) correctly jajajajajaj) maybe I should get him a dino lamp so that he can entertain himself and stop messing other people's life...

@ 11 ... I feel your pain.. i wouldn’t like to sit their either, I avoid walking down that corridor just so I won’t get dragged into a droning monologue of your new "next cubicle neighbor

I like 17's suggestion, i think i'd even appreciate "he who should not be fed" getting involved .... hahahahahahaha

@11
I have no idea what you are talking about.... have you considered doing drugs? Seems to help some people...

@naas
since when did you get cooler by the power of n? Did you unleash your dragonball Z super saiyan powers or something? Is your hair white now?

Conceptual products are stupid. I could come up with some outlandish "concept" products, too, but they'll never see the light of day, because they are just ideas, not real things.

@11 Who doens't work with some kind of douche?

I know... as a matter of fact he;s probab;y looking over my shoulder right now b/c he can't mind his own frikkin business...

I'm venting and typing poorly at the same time....

wake up douchefags.... i need some comment fodder...

@18 well first off, get yourself one of these before they move you

..then bring him on the boards

@STOMPY I grew stronger after the whole cloning debacle you started

..you going to Ollie's tomorrow night w/ everyone ?

oh, hiya Timbo... no where is all the rest of those cockfags...

@STOMPY forgot to mention we'll be starting with a little of this

http://www.chathamjaycees.net/Images/Cornhole.jpg

@STOMPY also WTF is this guys name? He's been in my head since you posted it last week dammit

http://bugi.oulu.fi/~heikkiv/chan/wtf.jpg

@naas

Oh... kinda like in that movie with Jet Li "The One"... I've called all those posers to you and you killed them all and swallowed their soul like in Evil Dead and became powerful like that shark in Jaws and are going to kick the crap out of Mr. T like in rocky so you can rule the world... I gets its nows....

I must know!

@the @ symbol - why are you always in front of who I'm talking to? why!?

@naas

I don't know where that picture takes its origins... maybe this will shed some light on teh subject (since it has already disturbed several GW readers...)

or this...

http://polyesterair.com/data/images/2009/01/understanding-joshua-03.jpg

or just google "understanding joshua" and report back to us.... I'm too scared to go any further...

@GW

"Okay, so this one tastes like shit -- you've gotta try it!"

LOL! You slay me, dude. Thanks for the early morning laugh, once again.

@STOMPY I haven't stopped laughing since opening that 5 minutes ago, just brilliant

That's it, got it!!! Now I can sleep peacefully. And by that I mean with a machete under the pillow & a grenade launcher on the bed stand.

STOMPY thank you, you're my hero of the day & definitely earned a 'naas reacharound surprise' at Ollie's tomorrow night

Happy International Left Hander's Day!

Also, where's Daisy's comment? This is ripped right from Photoshop!

@Stompy NSFW! I opened #32 and BOOBS on my work computer!

My penis is only conceptual

@STOMPY

The next time you post pictures of titties, please lable NSFW or YAY TITTIES! Also, how do you keep finding pictures of me on teh intertubes?

Nice concept. Here's some other concepts:
1) A floating car
2) A button that lets you travel faster than light
3) A magical orb that lets you see into the future

All good ideas, but nobody knows how to make them, so what's the point in spending ages making a prototype of something that doesn't actually work? Get back to the drawing board, stupid designers. I want you to find a way to grow jellybean plants by harnessing the power of pixie laughter.

Me after a night of drinking.

First! :D

@42 that picture's missing STOMPY hanging upside down from the shower head & Ollie's head popping up from under the toilet seat. Otherwise, that does looks a lot like you

a. conceptually OLD
b. go lefties!
c. h belated b, gw. come collect your present any time. wink!

RGB ink?

Some concept, doesn't even realise that inks (reflective colours) work best in CMYK and it's transmitive which works best in RGB (Monitors, Projectors etc)

Dumb ass

Transmutive even....

Probably because the CMOS sensor has only RGB outputs. DUH!!!

This gives new meaning to "Can you paint with the colors of the wind" or how ever that pochohauntas(sp?) song goes.

it's like that part in total recall where the receptionist points to a color on a board and points to her nails and they get painted that color.

Left handers are right.

@RGB Nut
lol dumb ass?
jealous you couldn't think of it first eh anyways you idea is dumb the pen would be all fat and ugly with the extra ink cartridges... like your mom... oh and tell her ill have her 5$ next week and remind her about the disposable enemas we made quite a mess last time

Holy shit! Someone else recognizes Lefty Day? Is our beloved GW left-handed? :D

lefty high five* :D

dont worry about the pen guys. if the asians can make robotos they can make ink jet sensor pens. just give it time.

yeah, i got excited - heck that's really cool! the goddam future is finally getting here! and... conceptual. so, it's just an idea - it's kinda bullshit. i mean, i'd like a box that i can take anything out of - that would be great - but i'm not distributing a press release about it.

first of all, is the ink quick-drying? because that would be a lefty's wet dream. second... HAHAHAHA FOOLS! WHO'S WRONG-HANDED NOW?!

I agree on the stupidity of RGB ink... Idiots.

Though it's a cool idea, and if they make it (with right inks obviously) I will buy one.

@ 55

Still you.....

Am I the only one who watched "Home Improvement" here!?! (mmm JTT still melts my panties). this is not a new idea, it was on Tim's crappy ass show, and they made paint out of it. and then he typed in the pre-scanned color "Al", and it was flannel when he painted it on the wall .... bwahhh ahahahha. ahead of it's time!

What a tard product designer -

Dude to mix ink you need CMYK not RGB - -

WANT.

Great idea! Id certainly buy one.

Replace a box of crayons? Never! Crayons are much more nutritious!

@6 Are you retarded? Red Green and Blue, and be mixed to create ANY color hence the RGB code.
For example:
00FFFF = Cyan
0 parts red
225 parts green
225 parts blue

Must I say more?

@ 63, 6 I just noticed the RGB thing too, those are the primary colors only when mixing LIGHT, like on a computer display or in theater lighting. Remember when you were 5 and mixing paint? The primary colors were Red, Yellow and Blue. Green was a secondary color. So 63 you are wrong for a pen that mixes ink to draw on paper. Cyan (blue), Magenta (Red), Yellow and black are the colors an inkjet printer uses to print any color. Watch who you call retard, geek. The colors in the real word outside of your computer display are different. Log off WOW and take a walk. And please don't judge others when you, like the designer of this pen are speaking outside of your league. This thing could only draw in browns, purples and blacks.

This makes total sense.... like remember in school how they teach you about the three primary colors, red, green, and blue... and how you can mix these in different combination to achieve any color in the world. Try it at home... take some red, green, and blue paint and try mixing them to get yellow. Thats an easy one!

I know I'm not the first to call out the RGB vs CMYK stupidity... but come on! like how the heck can a company be taken seriously with a magic pen when they dont understand what we all learn in kindergarten. Also, how did the guy who made the 3d concept rendering of the pen (an artist) no catch it?? or if the pen really is cmyk, and the guy f*cked up when doing the 3d model thing- how'd they not catch it... this is so dumb its amazing.

OMG! We are now one step closer to pigment manipulation. Pretty soon we will be able to change the color of our clothes, cars houses, etc. with the push of a button!

You won't have much success mixing red, green and blue to make ink colours. This is why we use cyan/magenta/yellow/black in printers - even still, you still can't get a wide gamut until you're using a few extra colours such as adding orange, green, dark blue and a vivd red to that mixing pool.

I would love to buy if it is not very expensive.

Since when can people make cool renderings of totally impossible, idiotic things and pass them off as "concept products"? Check out my magic jet-powered rainbow blowjob pants! They rock! Assholes.

Wow! This is brilliant, except that the ink can't be RGB. It could be RYB or CMYK (preferred). Mixing color of light (RGB) and ink is totally different.

@63 ...why don't you mix me some yellow ink with your red green and blue inks...

why do inpossible unreal inventions get so much attention. There should be a prerequisite at every industrial design school that you product must have a plausable way of working before you can submit it for a grade.

I can make shiny white things with bright color accents that do nothing too. Doesn't mean I should be praised for it.

CMYK not RGB

ooh i want 1 pen thing

oh i thought it waz real they should make then and sell them for $5.00

IM A STUPID MORON WITH NO LIFE!!!
