He uses a plain, pocket size Moleskine journal and each page is gorgeous– notes, maps, sketches, objects pasted in… [...]
Remember the tiny little notebook from this post? I contacted the company that makes it, and they were kind enough to send me some products to review– more traditionally sized ones!
Presign International is based in the Netherlands, and they make a variety of stationery products including notebooks. The samples I received are from their PSN [...]
