Blackwing Volume 223 Composition Book

“All you can write is what you see.” On February 23, 1940, Woody Guthrie scribbled these words at the 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 Land 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.

Volume 223 is a tribute to Woody Guthrie and his immutable optimism. While out on the road, Woody would often send postcards to his loved ones back home. He added doodles, sketches , and captions to the images on these postcards; personal touches to remind them of his presence. In honor of Woody, we've created 3 unique Woody Guthrie postcards featuring images from the Guthrie family's collection: a photo of Guthrie with his iconic guitar by Al Aumuller, the "This Land is Your Land" lyrics handwritten from Woody's personal notebook, and a self-portrait painting.

For centuries, the Indigenous people of North America have preserved their histories through art. As more and more Native Americans were displaced by westward-expanding colonialism, art became a vessel for preserving their culture as well as their history. Their daily lives were recorded through paintings, songs, stories, and dances. The Blackwing 574 pencil is our tribute to Native American art and the 574 nations that use it to assert agency and identity.

Jean-Michel Basquiat is one of the best known artists of his generation and is widely considered one of the most important artists of the 20th century. His works are edgy and raw, and through a bold sense of color and composition, he maintains a fine balance between seemingly contradictory forces such as control and spontaneity, menace and wit, urban imagery and primitivism. The conjunction of various media is an integral element of Basquiat’s art.

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 sparked through San Francisco in the 1960s. It also fueled Jerry’s profound exploration into painting and visual arts. Blackwing 710 is our tribute to Jerry Garcia and his fusion of visual and musical expression.
