Blackwing Volume 710 (Set Of 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 songwriting.
Product Details
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 fueled Jerry's profound exploration into painting and visual arts.
Like his guitar playing, Jerry's sketches and paintings seem to meander on the canvas, taking unexpected turns before changing shape entirely. They show us that improvisation isn't just reserved for the stage and that our ideas shouldn't be bound by what's expected of us.
WHY CHOOSE PENCIL AND PAPER?
Research shows that writing by hand is much healthier for you.
Handwriting activates more neural pathways than typing does -- leading to many long-term health benefits.
Here are just a few reasons why it's important to use pencil and paper:
Memory Retention - Slowing down and writing it out by hand engages your brain to actually understand and reflect on what you're doing.
Brain Activity - Writing on paper activates more regions of your brain than computers or smartphones -- enhancing your capacity to store and retrieve information.
Reduced Stress - Writing on paper promotes focus and eliminates distractions. It fosters a deeper connection to mind and body without over-stimulation.
At the end of the day, using analog tools make us more human. Beyond the benefits, it reminds us of who we are.
