Art teacher Bob Truby has created a beautiful site, Brand Name Pencils, an online gallery featuring his vast collection of pencils. I have captured one of my favourites above, although in my art school days the 6B was de riguer for life drawing class.
Bob writes;
"Sadly those days are over and the craftsmanship, skill and pride once put into the ordinary pencil is but a thing of the past."
I think Bob's work personifies these qualities, and by sharing his collection and research on the web, I am convinced he will inspire others to do likewise.
