Blackwing Volumes Pencils Blackwing

Volume 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.”

Volume 651 is a tribute to the legendary Bruce Lee. Both simple and direct, each pencil features a black and yellow striped design that takes its cues from the philosophies of Jeet Kune Do.

The Blackwing 651 Reporter Pads are directly inspired by Bruce Lee's own personal pocketbooks. Beyond being a world-renowned martial artist and movie star, Bruce Lee was also a prolific philosopher and writer. He filled countless notebooks with everything from fight choreography to short stories and profound philosophies. Blackwing 651 Reporter Pads are available in sets of 2. Each reporter pad includes 80 sheets of 80GSM, ruled paper. They measure 3" x 6.25" x 0.5" (about the size of a smartphone), so they fit easily in your pocket or bag.

Volume 55 is a Tribute to the Golden Ratio, features a design inspired by the Fibonacci sequence, and contains balanced graphite.

Volume 192 is a tribute to John Lennon and Paul McCartney and the estimated 192 songs they wrote together. The color prism design depicts the convergence of two powerful creative forces. A different Lennon-McCartney lyric is foil stamped on each pencil, for a total of twelve different lyrics in the set. Includes extra-firm graphite.

Commissioned in 1971, the rainbow swash adorns a 140-foot-tall natural gas storage tank along Interstate 93 in Dorchester, Massachusetts. The pencils contain soft graphite and each set includes two of each color design.

Volume 200 is a tribute to coffeehouses and the creative culture the help cultivate.

These pencils also feature a firm graphite core that is perfect for finding inspiration in a local coffeehouse.

Volume 7 is a tribute to animation and the incredible stories it lets us tell. Each pack of 12 pencils comes with six different designs. Each pencil includes a black ferrule, gold clip, orange eraser, and our balanced graphite. When stacked side by side and viewed through the viewfinder included inside every pack, the pencils combine to become a seven-frame "picket fence animation" revealing Chuck Jones' iconic Wile E. Coyote.

This limited edition notebook is inspired by legendary animator Chuck Jones and his brilliant “creativity pads.” Chuck preferred a wide canvas for his sketches, each A4 (297 X 210 mm) notebook is durably bound with a landscape orientation. The Creativity Pad includes 160 pages of high-quality, 100GSM blank paper and our signature matte hardcover featuring an original sketch of Wile E. Coyote by Chuck Jones himself. It also has a built-in pencil holster that comes loaded with a limited edition Blackwing 7 pencil.

Volume 57 is a tribute to Jean-Michel Basquiat and his boundary-pushing art. The number 57 is a reference to 57 Great Jones Street in New York City, where Basquiat created some of his best-known works. Each pencil is wrapped with a design inspired by Basquiat's untitled skull, and the gold ferrule features his signature crown. The pencil uses Blackwing's soft graphite core.
