Blackwing Volume 2 – Box 12

$75.00

Art reflects the world around us and helps us process complex issues so that we can move forward. Leonard Cohen once said “There is a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in.” Art creates cracks in the world’s darkest places, letting in the light of knowledge.

The Blackwing 2 acknowledges art’s role in bringing about change. Each pencil features a cracked glow-in-the-dark design that plays on the duality of art and the challenging realities that inspire it. Each pencil also includes the firmest graphite yet – a special 2X firm graphite formulated specially for this release.

Graphite: XX Firm.  Released September 2023.
