the perfect pencil, and more. by graf von faber-castell
there’s something charming about using a pencil over pen. like a rotary phone over mobile or temperamental film over digital photos. you can find the perfect pencil at graf von faber-castell, which is made from fine california cedar, has a replaceable eraser, and extender with integrated sharpener in silver or platinum. by kl

half a leg and a foot – bees wax, human hair, and then sometonight i was trying to remember his name and kept saying, the guy with the sinks! so this post is just a reminder for the future. i recall when i first saw gobers work in los angels more than 10 years ago, i was really amazed, at the time all i had seen was the sinks, mounted to the gallery walls and ceiling corners… it was not until years later in london, at what i think was the sensation show, that i saw the bees wax pieces. still a sensation! by dd
