He’s been featured frequently on various blogs and in books about illustration, sketchbooks and Moleskines. But what I’ve never seen before is his actual … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Mattias Adolfsson

Review & Giveaway: Ink Journal

This notebook is for all the fountain pen and ink fanatics out there: the Ink Journal. It was created by Tom Oddo of Goldspot Pens, who I am sure tests a lot of pens and inks, and as such, must have put a lot of thought into what a perfect ink-testing notebook would be.

Notebook Addict of the Week: Miss Lai Lai

This week’s addict writes in detail about her love of notebooks and plans for using a new one: I have always been addicted to stationery, in particular notebooks and organisers.
