The latest Blackwing volumes just arrived! 📺

The Blackwing 343 is a tribute to broadcast television. Each pencil features a color bar finish inspired by the NTSC test pattern, and is of the extra-firm graphite. The model number 343, a reference to the 343 scanlines on early CRT televisions, is imprinted with a “TV snow” silver holographic foil.
Check out the matching notebook, too! So fun!
