Moleskine’s Colored Paper Bands
Do you ever leave the colored wraparound strip on your notebook? Or you’ve at least thought it looks kind of nice, and missed it a little after you took it off and your Moleskine was back to just being all black?

Animal Art
Here are some animal sketches from the recent safari trip. A pocket size notebook is a great thing to bring on safari, especially if, like me, you’re not a photography nut. I brought a tiny digital camera (a Casio Exilim, which also happens to be my favorite golden rectangle-ish shape, though much smaller than 3×5) … Continue reading Animal Art
Safari Sketchbook
Here’s a drawing from a safari trip in Africa. Watercolor and brush-tip marker in a HandBook pocket sketchbook. This was the view from our campfire area– as the sun set, the meadow took on twilight shades, and the tall plants in the foreground were silhouetted. The trip was amazing– I’ll put some of the animal … Continue reading Safari Sketchbook

Moleskine’s own online catalog makes no … Continue reading Red Moleskine Notebooks
My Current Notebook Usage Dilemma
I go through a variety of notebook-using habits. Lately, I tend to have about 3 going at once. I have a soft-cover Moleskine with graph paper pages that I’m using for daily jottings: to-do’s, French vocabulary, notes on books or movies to read, etc. A lot of these kinds of notes are things that I … Continue reading My Current Notebook Usage Dilemma
Muji Chronotebook
I’ve yet to visit the Muji store in New York, but I used to go to one in London sometimes and always liked it. I never bought any notebooks there, but this is a great review of one: the Chronotebook, which offers a whole new way of looking at a daily planner. Each page spread … Continue reading Muji Chronotebook
Moleskines in Paris: Ouch!
I was in Paris this past weekend. Though I was trying to squeeze a lot of sight-seeing into a short trip, of course I tried to look for notebooks! I didn’t come across too many stationery stores, but I did find one place that was selling Moleskines, in what I think is considered part of … Continue reading Moleskines in Paris: Ouch!
Sketchbook + Art Supplies= A Portable Entertainment Center
Artist Jane LaFazio talks to voiceofsandiego.org: Do you have a place where you like to work? Do you ever pack it up and take your work outside? If so, what do you take with you? I mostly work in my studio at home. A messy place all my own. Sometimes, in the evening, I’ll stitch … Continue reading Sketchbook + Art Supplies= A Portable Entertainment Center
