David Rees is the author of How to Sharpen Pencils: A Practical & Theoretical Treatise on the Artisanal Craft of Pencil Sharpening for Writers, Artists, Contractors, Flange Turners, Anglesmiths, & Civil Servants (Melville House).

Rees is a humorist and cultural critic. He first rose to prominence as a cartoonist whose best known work combined bland clip art with "trash talk." Rees later created an artisanal pencil sharpening service and has now published a related book on the subject. He also co-created and hosted two seasons of the television series "Going Deep with David Rees," on NatGeo.
