Sketchbooks Full of the Mets

I’m more of a Yankees fan myself, but here’s a neat story about a man who captures moments from Mets games in wonderful watercolor sketches: Turning Woeful Mets Into Works of Art – WSJ.com. Every morning during baseball season around 6:15 a.m., after driving to Midtown from Manalapan, N.J., Petruccio takes a cup of coffee … Continue reading Sketchbooks Full of the Mets

X17 Notebook Review

Here’s another entry in the modular notebook field, the X17 Notebook, which was kindly sent to me for review by the German manufacturer.

Notebook in Arnold Sandwich Thins Ad

I always like coming across random images of notebooks in advertisements. This one is rather intriguing: Here’s a close-up: I can’t help wondering where they got that notebook! Or perhaps they made it? It sort of looks like a Midori Traveler’s Notebook, with the raw-edged leather cover and 3 smaller booklets within. But the booklets … Continue reading Notebook in Arnold Sandwich Thins Ad

Moleskine Monday: It Takes All Kinds…

The other day, I was getting on the subway to go to work in the morning when I spotted a guy who seemed like a walking stereotype. He was a big, tall guy, with the physique of a football player. He had a baseball cap on backwards, and was wearing a t-shirt, khaki shorts and … Continue reading Moleskine Monday: It Takes All Kinds…
