A pocket of colour: The Crayola Legacy (Limited Edition of 1/20) - Dairie Chan

This watercolour study captures the iconic Binney & Smith “Gold Medal” crayon box, introduced after the company won its 1904 World’s Fair medal. Warm sepia tones and soft edges evoke aged parchment and fond memory, rather than commercial precision. For generations, this simple pack of eight was a prized reward—unlocking imagination long before digital play. The piece reflects on how times change, yet the joy of putting wax to paper remains a timeless part of childhood creativity.
