Bestselling author and artist Austin Kleon keeps some great notebooks (see here for other posts I’ve done featuring his work) , and I love this shot of some of his collection. Based on the dates, he goes through about 8 per year, and this photo was from March 2018, so I’m sure there are quite a few more by now! Definitely qualifies as an addict. [UPDATE: a reader asked what brand these are. I believe they are Zequenz notebooks. Miquelrius also makes a similar thick softcover notebook. He also uses Moleskine daily planners.]
See lots more from Austin Kleon on Instagram and his website. And check out his books, the newest of which is coming out in April 2019:
I think Austin has commented on his blog that the larger sketchbook he uses is not his favorite but he bought them on sale in bulk so he going to keep using them. I’m not sure if that’s a lesson in perseverance or thriftiness but either way I admire his stick-to-it-iveness.
