Notebook Addict of the Week: Acacia

This week’s addict was another submission by email. She writes:   My name is Acacia and I am a notebook addict! I buy them at every opportunity and covet them unabashedly. I write in them as journals, books of stories, collections of poems and quotes I like, but I am a faithless lover. The lure [...]

Small Sketchbook Paintings

Beautiful little gems in a sketchbook, which could be a HandBook Artist Journal (not sure): Lots more great images at Design You Trust and Illusion.

Notebook Addict of the Week: Ana

This week’s addict blogs at The Well Appointed Desk, and emailed me this “confessional” about her love for notebooks: I think I go beyond a notebook story into a full-blown confessional.

Questions About How I Use Notebooks

From Kara: Do you have any advice for supreme organizing? And are Moleskines your favorite? Also, how do you keep yourself from just buying and buying new ones without filling up the old ones first? I’m not sure if the organizing question refers to how I keep my notebook collection organized or how I use [...]

There are a few months [...]

Not to be confused with the many more notebooks I have already filled, or the ones that will probably just remain unused. Or ones yet to be reviewed, that I’m [...]

What I’m Using Now

I recently changed my “What I’m Using Now” photo after several months of its being out of date. I’ve gone through at least 2 or 3 daily notebooks since I last updated that image, a couple of Moleskines and a Piccadilly. I’ve been alternating between plain pages and squared– I keep coming back to squared [...]

Change Your Journaling Paper

Anyone who keeps an art journal will enjoy this post. Roz recommends shaking up your creativity by simply trying a new kind of paper: I’ve been writing about taking trips and mini-vacations. Well, now I want you to consider taking one away from your favorite paper. Or away from the paper you normally use, which [...]

Sketchbook Tuesday at Alla Prima

alla prima is the art blog of R Chunn of Portland, Oregon. (“Alla prima” is a term for a method of painting.) On Tuesdays, R posts sketchbook images like these, which seem to have been done in a HandBook Journal, from what I can see of the red edge and orange ribbon marker peeking out [...]
