Since software programs have come to dominate offices and studios,
the pencil has become a symbol for creative freedom. In other
words, the work you do on the computer is what you do for work, to
pay the rent, whereas the stuff you do with your pencil is the
stuff you do for fun. Apart from stimulating the world's most
important creative minds, the pencil has become the modern
creative's ultimate fetish. This book presents a unique collection
of close-up pictures of pencils from some of our foremost artists,
designers, writers, architects and musicians. What makes these
pictures compelling is the fact that they somehow reflect the
creative personalities of their owners: Philippe Starck's is a
stylish black and red, Paul Smith's is a classic jewel-like thing
worth GBP3,000 (a present from Jonathan Ive), William Boyd's is
nicely aged and rusty, while Anish Kapoor's is sculpted into a mini
ArcelorMittal Orbital tower. The pictures are complemented by
material such as sketches, quotes and brief interviews, giving a
further insight into the workings of these great creative minds.
