David Fullarton is one of my favorite notebook artists. He usually works in engineer’s notebooks, but now he’s given Moleskine a whirl: I was never a big fan of Moleskine notebooks. They always seemed so damn precious and overpriced with their pretentious history printed inside and that fancy-dan knicker elastic to keep your place. But someone … Continue reading Moleskine Monday: David Fullarton
I love catching people using notebooks on the subway. This man was drawing with a pencil in what I’m pretty sure was a Moleskine.
The Invention of Hugo Cabret is a wonderful children’s book by Brian Selznick, told in words and gorgeous pictures. Part of the story revolves around a notebook full of sketches of a mechanical man: The notebook is a key part of the plot- I won’t spoil the rest!

There’s something about the colors and that stripe up the edge and the ribbon closure that makes them seem nicer than other … Continue reading Holbein Multimedia Books
I featured Kolby Kirk’s hiking journals here a while ago, but more recently, I came across a post on another blog of his, talking about his first journal. I love how he explored his interests in a variety of topics in these wonderful sketches: The journal itself is pretty neat– a spiral bound sketchbook onto … Continue reading Kolby Kirk’s First Journal
