//A BIC DEAL

The Bic ballpoint pen is the best selling writing implement in the world, the 100 billionth was sold in 2006. Not surprising as it is inexpensive and quite disposable.

Typical of the surrealist designer, the pen has a large frivolous white feather attached to the ballpoint pen. A clear reference to the the historical quill pen that was the primary writing implement from the 6th to the 19th century.
