Carried freely through the air, broadcast television invited participation without qualification. The same signal that arrived at a downtown apartment also reached a home on the edge of a country road. Broadcast television created a quiet cultural levelling, allowing audiences to form connections not just with stories, but with one another.

The Blackwing 343 is a tribute to broadcast television. Each pencil features a colour bar finish inspired by the NTSC test pattern, and extra-firm graphite. The model number 343, a reference to the 343 scanlines on early CRT televisions, is imprinted with a “TV snow” silver holographic foil.

Graphite: Extra Firm. Released March 2026.
