Chuck Jones, John Steinbeck, Truman Capote, Vladimir Nabokov, and Stephen Sondheim all created with the Blackwing 602 pencil.
Pencils, like the 602, can be a gateway to a slower, more deliberate, and thoughtful way of living. The pencil by Blackwing invites people to step away from the fast pace and their screens to engage with their surroundings.
The pencils are made from sustainably harvested genuine incense-cedar grown in the forests of Northern California and Southern Oregon. This high-quality wood is paired with smooth Japanese graphite in a small workshop in Tokyo.
From here it will find its way to you, the thinker and creator, so that you may thoughtfully inscribe your ideas in your own handwriting at your own slow pace.
Or, you might consider gifting it to a thoughtful friend to do the same.
As from the Blackwing company Manifesto "The act of writing with a Blackwing pencil is an intentional process that encourages mindfulness and presence. With each stroke, users engage their senses and foster a deeper connection with their thoughts and ideas. Unlike typing or tapping, the act of writing requires a degree of focus and attention that promotoes a sense of calm and clarity."
Now for you, we invite you to purchase a pack and then write and erase and write and erase and write and erase as you think and create.
Mistakes happen. So don't mind those. (That's what the eraser is for).
Enjoy.
