In my last post on the topic of picking a sketchbook, I was struggling to figure out what to use next, after starting and then abandoning a Bindewerk Linen journal. I eliminated quite a few candidates, and had narrowed my choices down to these: Hahnemuhle Travel Journal HandBook Journal Stillman & Birn Alpha or Epsilon … Continue reading Sketchbook Switch: Here’s What I Chose
As longtime readers of this site will know, I’ve been pretty committed to using Moleskine sketchbooks. For years, I’ve been keeping one going at almost all times, for drawing and sketching whenever the mood strikes– sometimes even sticking to a habit of daily drawing for a year or more. I built up a stash of … Continue reading Sketchbook Switch: SO Many to Choose From!
I had never seen the movie Elf. The 20th anniversary re-release has had people talking about it, and several people I know said it was their favorite Christmas movie, so I decided to watch it. It was pretty cute, but of course my favorite part was the appearance of a notebook! The notebook belongs to … Continue reading A Notebook in the Movie Elf!
I’ve mentioned this relatively new Moleskine product a couple of times (Moleskine Monday: Interesting News from Japan About New Products, Moleskine Monday: New Art Collection), but haven’t written more extensively about the portrait format Watercolor Notebook (vs. the more typical landscape format Watercolor Album).

As I noted in a recent “using now” post, I recently swapped out my usual Moleskine Sketchbook for a Leda Art Supply pocket sketchbook. If I’m adding something to my daily carry, you can probably guess that I’m going to give it a positive review, but even if the suspense is lacking, let’s take a … Continue reading Review: Leda Art Supply Sketchbook
I’m a fan of Seattle Sketcher Gabi Campanario, the founder of Urban Sketchers, so it was particularly fun to see what he carries with him on his daily sketching excursions! Read more at: Here’s what Seattle Sketcher carries in his sketching bag
This week’s addict is an “urban sketcher, strongwoman, artist, fountain pen collector and maker.” She shared an intriguing photo of her notebook/sketchbook collection on Twitter: Not sure what all the brands are, but definitely Leuchtturm and Stillman & Birn. Maybe also Rhodia, Miquelrius and Moleskine? Also check out her review of the SketchWallet on her … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: SunamiSue
