A tribute to the legends of animation in cedar and graphite, Blackwing's Volume 7 commitment to the medium is anything but skin-deep, with a unique animation from the legendary Chuck Jones on the very pencil bodies themselves.

From Steamboat Willie to Spider-Verse, the creative possibilities of animation open up incredible storytelling possibilities far beyond anything live action could manage. Generations raised on classic cartoons like Looney Tunes and more modern marvels know the magic that's an intrinsic part of animation, from the physics-defying comedy of Wile E. Coyote to the suburban absurdity of The Simpsons to the intricate art of Studio Ghibli films. Volume 7 honours the hand-drawn origins of animation, and the expressive art that formed the foundation for an entire genre. The 12 pencils in this set feature a pattern which, when seen through the included viewfinder, reveals a Wile E. Coyote "picket fence"-style animation created by legendary artist (and Blackwing fan) Chuck Jones.

The pencils are made with a Balanced graphite core (a versatile graphite that's good for both writing and sketching), and are finished with black ferrules, gold clips and orange erasers.

Blackwing

With roots stretching back to the 1930s, the Blackwing 602 was the go-to pencil of artists, writers and designers for more than 60 years. After Blackwing loyalists had scoured the earth to find the last of their favourite pencils, Blackwing reintroduced the 602 in 2010, bringing the legend back to life for a whole new generation.
