Blackwing Graphite Pencil - Limited Edition, Vol. 57 - Jean-Michel Basquiat

Blackwing Graphite Pencils offer an unrivalled smooth writing and drawing experience. Known for their dark lead and ability to be sharpened to an acute point.  The pencils have an extra long hexagonal barrel made out of California incense cedar and special formulated leads from Japan. They represent undeniable quality, offering an exceptional balance of smooth performance, dark intense lead laydown and sharpness. Consistent and reliable performance despite the softer leads they will still sharpen to a fine point.

Paying tribute to the legendary graffiti artist and painter Jean-Michel Basquiat, Blackwing's Volume 57 Pencil Set echoes the chaotic, musical sensibility of the iconic artist, whose work defied easy categorisation.

Taking its name from 57 Great Jones Street in New York City, where Basquiat lived from the early days of his success up until his death in 1988, this release uses one of his unmistakeable skull designs, with its expressive lines and dramatic use of colour, to capture the essence of a truly unique artist.

The Volume 57 Pencil Set includes a soft graphite core.

A pencil of legend, reborn for a modern audience. Beloved by artists, musicians, designers, illustrators and more, each Blackwing offers a writing or sketching experience that has stood the test of time.
