“All you can write is what you see.”
This is the story behind this colorful pencils: On February 23, 1940, Woody Guthrie scribbled these words at the bottom of a lyric. Above them was a song he had just written about the inequality he witnessed in his travels across the United States. This Land Is Your Land would go on to become one of the most poignant and iconic folk songs in history.
Woody is often depicted in sepia tones reminiscent of the Dust Bowl, but his artistic palette extended much further. He filled composition notebooks and day planners with sketches, poems and paintings on his countless journeys. His art was playful and vibrant, despite its often gritty content. He described his fusion of old compositions and new ideas as a mashup of “what is” and “what could be.”
Woody believed we could be better, and used his creations to inspire people to believe the same. The Blackwing 223 is a tribute to Woody Guthrie and his immutable optimism. Each pencil features a design inspired by This Land’s “ribbon of highway,” “endless skyway” and “golden valley.”
The matte black ferrule and earth-toned eraser are a nod to the many miles Woody traveled. This pencil has a balanced graphite formulation that works well for both writing and sketching so you, too, can fill your pages with what you see.
