“Pick me up and look me over. What do you see?
Not much meets the eye — there’s some wood, lacquer, the printed labeling, graphite lead, a bit of metal, and an eraser…
If you can become aware of the miraculousness which I symbolize, you can help save the freedom mankind is so unhappily losing.”
– 50 Things That Made the Modern Economy: The Humble Pencil By Tim Harford

Art For Hope Project: Art That Helps & Heals
“Even on occasion I’ve gone and sat down and done some drawings to cheer myself up…
I think a lot of people should draw… it’s another language in a way…
I think if you draw you find out things that perhaps you didn’t know…
There’ll be something in there that you saw… you will have taken something away”
– Quentin Blake, Big Draw Patron
