They’re all so pretty! I’m a callous notebook editor, if I make a mistake, I rip out the page. Bad bad bad!
these are beautiful. i’m determined to make my sketchbooks prettier now. :)
I love the typography and it reminds me of how I used to ride the bus a lot during college. Those sketchbooks were full of fun type, and art but also wonderful out of context quotes. Time to revisit sketchbooks, and public transportation.
THANK YOU for doing this post- it’s fantastic. Love all the work here and all the great links.
That’s certainly a rare look inside an artist’s mind. Raw thoughts.
All the readers here at d*s are too nice! I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the post :)
