Neil Buchanan, the former presenter of children’s TV hit Art Attack, has joined forces with leading pen manufacturer Mitsubishi Pencil Co. to launch a national competition to discover the superheroes in children’s lives.
The stationery brand is appealing to youngsters across the UK to send in pictures of their personal hero to illustrate their influences and invigorate creativity. Neil Buchanan launched the competition at St Peter’s C of E Primary School in Tunbridge Wells to inspire children to bring their superheroes to life with the uni POSCA marker pen.
Stuart Barker, marketing manager for Mitsubishi Pencil Co., said: “We’re delighted to have Neil on board, so we can connect with a younger audience to promote the benefits of the uni POSCA marker pen. We hope the competition lets children express their creativity through art and we look forward to gaining an insight into who inspires them.”
Neil commented: “During my twenty series of high-profile network television presenting of the international, award-winning television series Art Attack, I have used just about every pen known to creativity. Throughout those 500 shows I have searched high and low for the ultimate in versatility and performance.
“After yet another frustrating search during my latest – and particularly demanding project Neil Buchanan’ Back Street Games – I recently discovered the uni POSCA marker pen. After many years, my search for the ultimate pen is now finally over! This pen goes – and writes -everywhere with me!”
