Painted on a wall on Henderson Street in Chapel Hill, the Pencil mural was inspired when Brown threw his pencil down in frustration because he couldn't come up with an idea. Brown said that when he looked down at the pencil with the upside-down lettering, he knew he had found his idea for the wall. The upside-down lettering also allowed the mural to comply with a Chapel Hill sign ordinance.
