Continuing with the motif of product-based street art, artist and designer Dino Sanchez follows up his Keep Air Fresh project with “Will You Ever Use Me Again?”

This project is a series of pencils that read “Will You Ever Use Me Again?” currently being installed throughout New York City, primarily in Apple stores and on Apple iPad advertisements. The series is meant to be humorous, but also as a reminder that technology has displaced our use of a basic, steadfast tool of craft.

Truly public art, the pencils are intended to be taken and used by the public when found.

I was just saying how much I missed using pencils! Loll just ordered some made from recycled newspaper and I can’t wait to start using mine.

But thanks to the iPad, there’s a new way to use pencils:
