Blackwing Volume 5 - Set of 12

Camouflage was intended to make things disappear. Instead, it became one of the most recognizable patterns in the world.

In 1909, Abbott Handerson Thayer and his son Gerald published Concealing-Coloration in the Animal Kingdom, a book exploring how animals use color and pattern to disappear into their surroundings. They called it “concealing coloration.”

In the century that followed, the principles of camouflage were distilled into five S’s: shape, shine, shadow, silhouette, and spacing. These ideas moved beyond the natural world, inspiring artists and fashion designers to transform a tool for concealment into creative expression.

Blackwing Volume 5 is a tribute to those five principles and the artistry hiding beneath the surface of camouflage. Each pencil features one of six unique woodland camouflage designs, with two of each per set. A brown ferrule, olive green eraser, and firm graphite complete a pencil designed to stand out by blending in.
