Meet MPHP

Meet the Sancho PENza to my Don Quijote (seriously, if you don’t like puns gtfo), Mechanical Pinckney Hugo Pencil, AKA MPHP. This started as a joke when I accidentally absconded with a colleague’s pencil after a shoot. I promised to take good care of it in the month until I would see Zack again and in a spark of… probably vodka, I decided to get all Flat Stanley with it. So it started going with me everywhere and I would log our adventures and send them to Zack. It just so happened that this time coincided with a cruise to Europe. For someone who can be woefully bad at documenting life MPHP turned out to be a great way to log my journey! Who knew. And thus, a meme was born.

Check out MPHP’s Tumblr here and follow me on social media for blog posts of past (and sometimes present) mechanical pencil adventures or check out the links below:
