Since my oddly illustrated post about insects and pencils, my friend Kristy and I have been talking (well, digitally; mostly via the Facebook) about pencil obsession, which is something other people (not me, not Kristy) have. I initially pointed her to Mark Frauenfelder’s review of the new, pre-production Palomino Blackwing on boingboing, as well as some other pencil-obsessed sites. Earlier today, Kristy pointed me here, FTW:
PENCIL TIP SCULPTURE BY AN ARTIST NAMED DALTON GHETTI!!!
You probably know this already, but in case you or Kristy feel like rustling up an interest in pencils by Sept 6th:

Even if not, I can’t say I’m happy about this resurgence of pencils in public opinion.
Wait, “can’t say I’m happy”? Why ever not?
hey – that lifewithobjects link is great! just what I needed to distract me from comps :)
