Blackwing Volume 292 – Single

$7.75

Keith Haring was one of the most renowned of the young artists, filmmakers, and performers whose work was in conversation with urban street culture of the 1980s. Inspired by the graffiti artists whose marks covered the city’s subway cars, Haring began to draw in white chalk over the black paper used to cover vacant advertising panels.

The Blackwing Volume 292 is a tribute to Keith Haring and references the Pop Shop he opened at 292 Lafayette Street. Each pencil features Haring’s dancing figures and balanced graphite.

Graphite: Balanced.  Released August 2025.
