Released in March 2021, the Blackwing Volumes 223 limited edition Blackwing pencil is a tribute to the iconic artist Woody Guthrie and the immutable optimism his songs have inspired.

From the back of the slipcover:

"All you can write is what you see." On February 23, 1940, Woody Guthrie scribbled these words and bottom of a lyric. Above them was a song he had just written about the inequality he witnessed in his travels across the United States. This is Your Land would go on to become one of the most poignant and iconic folk songs in history.

Woody is often depicted in sepia tones reminiscent of the Dust Bowl, but his artistic palette extended much further. He filled composition notebooks and day planners with sketches, poems, and paintings on his countless journeys. His art was playful and vibrant, despite its often gritty content. He described his fusion of old compositions and new ideas as a mashup of "what is" and "what could be." Woody believed we could be better, and used his creations to inspire people to believe the same.

The Blackwing 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." The matte black ferrule and earth-toned eraser on a nod to the many miles Woody traveled. We used our balanced graphite formulation that works well for both writing and sketching so you, too, can fill your pages with what you see.
