I was quite excited to see these Moleskine pages by Australian artist Rod Luff– I”m not sure exactly what kinds of materials he’s using, but the intense colors are amazing– some of his pages look like the kind of rich, intense oil paintings you’d only expect to see being done on an easel, not in … Continue reading Moleskine Monday: Rod Luff’s Painterly Pages
This week’s addict displays this nice neat pile of some of his “secret obsession”– notebooks: Ever since I started drawing, I have been fascinated by books of blank white pages, i.e. Sketchbooks.

I think it’s the effortlessness that gets me the most. Yep, there’s that soul-crushing … Continue reading Jesse Draxler’s Sketchbooks
Time for another look through the mailbag! From BMT: This might come under the “fell off the face of the Earth” dept. In the early sixties, possibly 1960 or 1961 a loose leaf company (Mead?) marketed a failed loose leaf product named “Nifty.” Instead of the conventional rings on the left side, it flipped up … Continue reading From Our Readers

Joseph sent me a link to this post about his notebook addiction: On February 12, 2005, I ate a bowl of Special K Vanilla Almond with whole milk for breakfast. On January 16, 2006, my sister and my brother-in-law told me that they were going to have Audrey. On March 19, 2007, I took Brian … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Joseph Bayot
