Though he is best known as the lead guitarist and vocalist for the Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia was much more than a musician. His house at 710 Ashbury Street marked the heart of the enlightenment and expression that sparked through San Francisco in the 1960s. It also fueled Jerry’s profound exploration into painting and visual arts.   

Blackwing 710 is our tribute to Jerry Garcia and his fusion of visual and musical expression. This set of 10 replacement erasers is designed to accompany the Blackwing 710 pencil, but these green erasers will fit and pair well with a variety of our graphite pencils.

Like his guitar playing, Jerry’s sketches and paintings seem to meander on the canvas, taking unexpected turns before changing shape entirely. They show us that improvisation isn’t just reserved for the stage and that our ideas shouldn’t be bound by what’s expected of us.
