"All you can write is what you see."

On February 23, 1940, Woody Guthrie scribbled these words at the end of a letter. Above them was a song he had just written about the inequality he witnessed on his travels across the United States.

This Land Is Your Land would become one of the most moving and iconic popular songs in history.

Woody is often depicted in sepia tones reminiscent of the Dust Bowl, but his artistic palette extended far beyond that. He filled composition notebooks and journals with sketches, poems, and paintings from his countless travels.

His art was playful and vibrant, despite its often harsh content. He described his fusion of old compositions and new ideas as a blend of "what is" and "what could be." Woody believed we could be better and used his creations to inspire others to believe the same.

The Blackwing 223 is a tribute to Woody Guthrie and his unwavering optimism.

Each pencil features a design inspired by the “ribbon of highway,” “endless skyway” and “golden valley.” from This Land.

The matte black splint and the earth-toned eraser are a nod to the many miles Woody traveled.

The roots of Blackwing go back to the 1930s, when the Eberhard Faber Pencil Company first introduced the 602 model. Over the years, the pencil with the unique rectangular eraser became synonymous with quality.
Then, in 1998, after several corporate acquisitions, it was discontinued, but it wasn't forgotten. In fact, fans started paying up to $40 on eBay for a single Blackwing pencil.
In 2007, they introduced their range of Palomino pencils with genuine incense cedar and premium Japanese graphite.
Leveraging their more than 100 years of family experience in the pencil industry, they reintroduced Blackwing pencils in 2010.
In the years since its revival, Blackwing has gone from being a simple pencil to a culture.
