Blackwing Limited Edition Vol.710 [The Jerry Garcia Pencil]

Blackwing limited edition Volume 710 pencils - The Jerry Garcia Pencil

The Blackwing 710 is a tribute to Jerry Garcia and his fusion of visual and musical expression. A slice of the painting “Curves & Lines” is printed on the barrel of each pencil, which features Blackwing's soft graphite. It's perfect for both drawing and songwriting.

The story
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.
