I do a lot of quick sketches with a ball point pen ...
this was drawn from a couple on television,
I liked the composition, but it was gone quickly.
It's on the last page on the Sketchbook Project journal.
I was going to add paint and collage ...
but then I decided I like it as is?
What do you think?
As always, I love your feedback.
... too good not to share? (2GN2S?)
A Pencil That Amplifies the Sound of Writing

| The Kokuyo Design Award Grand Prix went to “Sound of Drawing” by Takuma Yamazaki |
The Kokuyo Design Awards
are one of the most interesting
design awards in Japan that have helped
commercialize
simple yet groundbreaking new stationery products
like
the Nameless Paints and the Kadokeshi Eraser.
Winners of the most recent 2018 Design Awards were
just announced this week and the top prize went to
Takuma Yamazaki,
a young designer who has created
a kit that amplifies the sound of the
pencil, adding a new,
musical dimension to drawing/writing.
A graduate of Tama Art University, Yamazaki has been
working as a product designer at Canon since 2015.
For the Kokuyo Design Awards,
Yamazaki proposed
“The Sound of Drawing,” a new form of communication
that amplifies the friction between pencil and paper.
By rethinking the
pencil as musical instrument, Yamazaki’s
design has the potential to
render new, creative experiences
both for those with hearing but also
those with hearing loss.
It usually takes a few years but Kokuyo Design Award
winners often see
their concepts brought to market
(although not always). Below are two Merit winners.
A smile for Sunday ...
