Gene Davis’s Hot Beat is part of the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s permanent collection. He was quoted saying, “it seemed to feel right, as we entered the sixties, to have color that leaped right off the wall ... It’s almost as if I wanted to shout, rather than to whisper.” You’ll definitely be writing boldly with this Tornado printed in matching stripes to replicate this painting.

Sebastian E. ★★★★★

The color bands on this pen genuinely pop, way more than I expected from a product photo. It writes like a proper rollerball too, no skipping or blobbing on cheap notebook paper. Nice little piece of art I can actually use every day.

Brian H. ★★★★★

The rollerball glides really smoothly and the Hot Beat color stripes are way more vivid in person than I expected from the photo. It's a small thing, but writing with a piece of art history in my hand makes my notes feel less boring.
