Keith Haring emerged in the 1980s, drawing inspiration from New York’s graffiti-covered streets and subway stations. His bold, energetic figures quickly moved from chalk drawings to international galleries, yet he remained devoted to public art, creating murals, sculptures, and projects that supported hospitals, children’s groups, and health organizations. In 1986, he opened the Pop Shop at 292 Lafayette Street, a space where everyone could experience his work firsthand. Volume 292 celebrates this vision of accessible art. Each pencil is adorned with Haring’s iconic dancing figures and crafted with our balanced graphite, bringing creativity and expression to your everyday writing.
