How to Add Replica NY Times Front Pages to a Pocket Size Notebook

On my recent post about adding NY Times front pages to my Nolty diary, a commenter asked how she might be able to do this herself. Mine were clipped from a special section in the print edition of the paper, and those miniature front page images didn’t seem to appear in the online edition. But … Continue reading How to Add Replica NY Times Front Pages to a Pocket Size Notebook

Nolty Diary and New York Times

The New York Times did something rather neat in their last weekend paper of the year. They reproduced in miniature some of the front pages with the biggest stories of the year. I was excited to see that these mini front pages were just the right size to fit in a notebook! I carefully cut … Continue reading Nolty Diary and New York Times

Wendy MacNaughton in The New York Times

You’ve probably seen Wendy MacNaughton’s artwork, even if you aren’t familiar with her name. She has illustrated some really cool books, including these: , and I just discovered this amusing blank notebook she created, the Punk Rock Writers Journal: Now she’s doing a regular feature in the business section of the New York Times, and … Continue reading Wendy MacNaughton in The New York Times

Minh Uong’s Sketchbook

From the New York Times last week, some glimpses of the sketchbook of Minh Uong, a visual editor for the business section: Minh Uong, a visual editor at The Times, uses both low- and high-tech tools to create editorial art, but tech does not necessarily make it easier to become a professional illustrator. Can you … Continue reading Minh Uong’s Sketchbook

A Grandfather’s Memories In Sketchbooks

This is a great story from the New York Times: It’s hard to picture my grandfather without a sketchbook in his hands. He was always drawing. Gramps lived for 94 years — long enough to experience the Great Depression and the Great Recession, the birth of both television and virtual reality — and he chronicled … Continue reading A Grandfather’s Memories In Sketchbooks

Erik Hagerman’s Sketchbook

Ok, this recent article from the New York Times was kind of annoying: The Man Who Knew Too Little. If I’d read it online, I wouldn’t even have anything to say about it here. But because I still prefer to get a physical newspaper delivered to my doorstep every morning, I saw this photo, which … Continue reading Erik Hagerman’s Sketchbook

Gary Panter’s Sketchbook

This photo of artist Gary Panter caught my eye– I wish I could get a better look at that little sketchbook! Panter creates art in various media, but the New York Times article this photo accompanies focuses on his new graphic novel, Songy of Paradise. The article notes that he does not use digital tools … Continue reading Gary Panter’s Sketchbook

Grandma’s Teenage Diaries

A very cool story about someone finding his grandmother’s old diaries… and what lovely diaries they were, with colorful patterned covers and red edges… “My parents recently found five journals in one of those listless cardboard boxes that leaves an attic only when somebody dies or the house is sold. (Don’t worry, everyone survived the … Continue reading Grandma’s Teenage Diaries

Notebooks in the White House

In honor of Inauguration Day, I thought I’d revisit a post I did 4 years ago about various members of then-President-Elect Obama’s staff who happened to be photographed holding notebooks. (Yesterday’s New York Times Magazine also looked back at that photo series in an article about Obama’s first term from the viewpoints of some of … Continue reading Notebooks in the White House
