Blackwing

We want to help people slow down and find some balance in their fast-paced digital lives.

Our lives are increasingly dominated by screens. Digital devices have become ubiquitous in nearly every aspect. The relentless barrage of notifications, messages, and social media updates has left us less connected, and more anxious.

We’ve lost touch with the simple pleasures of an analog experience. The smell of a freshly sharpened pencil and feel of it gliding across paper. The sensation of dropping a needle on a record, capturing time with the click of a shutter, or turning the pages of a book. 33 revolutions per minute. 24 frames per second. One page at a time.

Amidst all the noise, there lies a quiet revolution. A movement towards authenticity and mindful living. A return to simpler times, where moments are savored, connections are cherished, and focus is restored.

Connecting pencil to paper offers a powerful escape from the chaos. It disconnects the mind from the race, without losing your place.

Blackwing pencils are not just for artists. They are for architects, gamers, puzzlers, factory workers, entrepreneurs. Blue collar or white collar. Really, anyone who appreciates well-made things.

The act of writing with a Blackwing pencil is an intentional process that encourages mindfulness and presence. With each stroke, users engage their senses and foster a deeper connection with their thoughts and ideas. Unlike typing or tapping, the act of writing requires a degree of focus and attention that promotes a sense of calm and clarity.

Our story starts with a pencil, but it doesn’t end there. We're a team of writers, artists, musicians, designers, and DIYers who think the world is a little bit better when you slow down.

We believe that thoughtful interaction with the world around us leads to a healthier life. That interaction may come from scribbling a thought in your journal, flipping through the dusty pages of a familiar book, or listening to the warm tone of your favorite record. No matter what form it takes, there's something profoundly human about it that's in our DNA.
