Got a snapshot of the new Palomino Blackwing from the guys at Cal Cedar! Check it out:

I’m basically the Perez Hilton of pencils. Should I write snarky remarks all over the photo in freehand?

In any case, it’s great to see it. I image the white pencil against the dark desk washes out some of the lacquer detail a little bit, but I’m assuming it’s going to be a bit more, well, pearlized once we can see it in real life. I quite like the black eraser accenting the black lettering on the white barrel, though I don’t know how I feel yet about the brass ferrule. I may want to try a pink eraser in it to see if it looks like a rare albino Blackwing.

Thanks, Alexander, for sending this photo over!
