Loudstyle.
Our Comrade Loudstyle writes about his new-found love for pencils:
“I have always used pencils (who hasn’t?) but the reviews on Pencil Revolution alerted me to their finer details. I realized I had a couple decent pencils around the house and I tried out some others to see what all the fuss was about. I soon became pretty well addicted…
….Keith Haring Doubles from Acme Writing Tools. I received a nice metal tin containing a dozen of these fine pencils for Christmas several years ago. They feature the colorful and energetic artwork of Keith Haring. For the longest time I shied away from using them often because they looked too nice to sharpen away. I finally got over that silliness and now use them regularly.”

You guys won’t be happy until I start buying expensive pencils now too. ;-)
I’m already using a Faber-Castell E-Motion pencil.

Actually Chris, one of the reasons I got pulled in was that many of the pencils are not expensive. The Mirados and Dixons are two or three bucks per pack of 8 or 10 pencils.

I found an on-line retailer that sells pencils from the Acme Design studio. They don’t have any of the Keith Haring pencils, but they have several others that look good.

They come in a nice presentation box, an example of which you can see on the Acme web site:

The Keith Haring ones I have are dated 2001. I’m not sure what type of wood is in them - it is very dark. Of the current Acme styles, I like the Blueprint design.
