Flattened Out

Again, the pencil theme! See’em all here. This post is definitely a reflection of my thinking on an upcoming exhibit that will feature 3 of my wooden pencils. See blurb below.

Upcoming exhibit:

“When you hold [them], it’s mildly perturbing in a cognitive sense primarily because of [their] hexagonal shape, which your whole hand infers based on years of thumb, index, and middle finger experience. Again, [these pieces are] meant to celebrate a widely-employed cultural artifact, one that allows the user to do and undo graphic expressions.” Upcoming show at the Dairy Barn in Athens, OH. April 24 – June 14, 2026

Princess Pencil Passion No. 2

This Saturday, Jan. 19, 2019, is the Artists’ Reception for Passion, an exhibition of the Contemporary Humanistic Artists Association (CHAA) of Merced, CA. In the previous post on this illustroblog I described the show and presented the two pieces I entered. In this post I’m adding the following short video, a compilation of the Princess No. 2 School Pencil related pieces I’ve done over the last three and a half decades:

See Gallery 1 on the side for other pencil renditions; why there’s even a Christmas-related, digital pencil only tangentially linked to this portfoliolongo theme.
