People make a lot of cool stuff from colored pencils. And when Burls Art saw them, he decided to take it up an octave. "I saw a lot of people online making bowls out of colored pencils and I thought that was really cool but I wanted to make something that I can actually utilize and enjoy more so than a bowl when it’s finished. Since I play guitar, I thought this would be a cool project. I decided on making a Stratocaster styled electric guitar"

It doesn't matter if you use a pencil, a crayon or the tip of your nose to create art. Some artists do well with just a few tools, take for example Bulgarian illustrator Angel Ganev. Although we are sure he could make beautiful art using a variety of tools, he often chooses to create amazing pictures using pencils alone.

He has been doing some digital artwork over the last two months. And he’s been able to well adapt to the new style of putting out his imagination.

My name is Tom Lynall and I carve small pencil sculptures for a hobby. I am from Birmingham, UK and have been a jeweler for 11 years. In November last year I was sitting in my workshop and picked a pencil and thought I’d carve a little heart into the tip, little did I know this would start me off on one of the most engrossing hobbies I have ever had.

I am Jerameel Lu, 24, a hobbyist from the Philippines. I am a Civil Engineer by profession, but Art is my passion. I hope that someday, when I’ve saved enough money, I can leave this job & freely do what I want, to follow my passion in art. Maybe that’s the reason why some of my artwork creates the illusion that the images appear to be pushing out of the page. Maybe those images are my passion, trapped by my situation, trying to get free.

Sprout A Pencil That Grows is a very simple but excellent concept. We all know that as soon as a pencil gets down to the point where there’s only an inch or so left it’s pretty much useless. The Sprout lets you put that little stub to get use. The end of the Sprout has a seed capsule that is water activated, after you plant your pencil and water it a few times the capsule dissolves and the seed’s start germinating. The plants usually take about a week to sprout. The Sprout pencils come in a...
