I’ve been wanting a traveler’s notebook for awhile but couldn’t see myself paying so much for a leather wrapped notebook yet. In addition to the high prices of the traveler’s notebook is that I did not care for the large long sizes of the notebooks and I think the 3×5 pocket sizes were a bit too small for me. Instead of making one which I’ve seen many talented people do I decided to see if I could scavenge one instead. 😀 Of course my intentions and qualities I’m looking for in a sketchbook/cover would be different from yours and the…

The Canson 5.5 x 8.5 is my first sketchbook of this size. The above picture is the most current photo I have of it. Please excuse all the edges and dog-eared corners.

I didn’t bring it everywhere but I did bring it along for a lot of trips. Fits well into a bag or a purse, much better than my larger…

My current sketchbooks that I desperately want to finish but only about half way completed. I figure some of you would like an introduction to why I started this blog. If not, feel free to skip it. XD With graduation behind me I began to wonder what I should do with my life. Since I love the manga story-telling style, I decided to try to work on my own webcomic which is why I established this blog. It was mainly to help me track my progress as slow as it might be to help motivate me and for the public…
Leave a CommentIn my opinion, yes. There seems to be a slight divide of pen users who seem to prefer writing in longhand but there are others who just as prefer to type it all out on a computer.

In my elementary and middle school days almost everything was hand written. At the time I thought it was normal to have to write everything all out. My handwriting was legible but it got…

So if you read my blogs you would know that I’m a notebook/sketchbook addict. I realized this probably around the middle of this year and have since been collecting them (when they are on sale or I find one I REALLY like) and here is part of my collection. These notebooks/sketchbooks are ones that are currently in use. I’m actually running out of space on my bookshelves but whenever I bring home new books I always manage to make space. 😉 Although now I have to be more cautious of what I buy and try to use the ones I…
