How to Keep a Colorful Daily Journal

I was happy to find this post, where the author talks about owning lots of journals and wanting to be better about filling them:

Do any of you have any suggestions for how I can really get on track with writing/drawing at least a little bit every single day?

But best of all, she linked to an amazing illustrator whose work I was unfamiliar with, named David Fullarton. These images knocked me out:


Not only do I love the style of his art, I’m dying to know what kind of notebook he’s using with that page format–perhaps some sort of lab notebook?

But someone gave me one for nothing a couple of years ago, and since it was free I used it. A lot. And I have to admit I ended up liking it. Almost enough to actually pay for the next one. [...]
