FRICKINAWESOME
About my design
by FRICKINAWESOME   
"...the pen is mightier than the sword in that famous saying, but the sword kicked the pen's ass and smashed it to pieces in this design, but how did the sword destroy the pen when it's made out of the the ink that was inside the pen and the only way it could have gotten out is if the ink sword smashed it first?"

Mathiole and Frickinawesome say: Exactly.
