Everything in Pencil Magazine is created with graphite pencils on paper. All texts are hand-written, all illustrations are lovingly crafted, and the whole project is a celebration of the analogue experiences made possible by the humble pencil. This third issue is ‘The Letter Writing Issue’.

 
In this issue:

• Handwriting as art, demonstrating layers of cultural inheritance
• Handwriting as shame and anxiety, struggling to write a legible sentence
• An interview with Karl Haendel, the artist who makes huge, photo-realistic drawings in pencil
• Lots of comics and cartoons
• And instructions for how to mail a potato
