Dino Sanchez's 'WILL YOU EVER USE ME AGAIN?' is described as "a series of pencils currently being installed in undisclosed locations." The artist's description explains exactly what the guerilla project is, with pencils placed upon iPad billboards and signs praising the pencil all around.
Dino Sanchez is leaving people with a reminder that the once-cherished pencil seems to be disappearing with all of the newly emerging technology. You can't help but feel sad for the poor, lonely pencils begging to be used!
