Blackwing Volume 710 Limited Edition [ 12 Pencils ]

The Blackwing 710 is our tribute to Jerry Garcia and his fusion of visual and musical expression. A slice of his painting “Curves & Lines” is printed on each pencil, which features our soft graphite that is ideal for both drawing and song writing.Though he is best known as the lead guitarist and vocalist for the Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia was much more than a musician. His house at 710 Ashbury Street marked the heart of the enlightenment and expression that pulsed through San Francisco in the 1960s. It also fuelled Jerry’s profound exploration into painting and visual arts.Each box contains 12 pencilsSoft graphite“Curves & Lines” design by Jerry GarciaMade in Japan from renewable Californian incense-cedarLimited editionThe Blackwing pencil has a rich history dating back to 1934.
