Description

Is it a travel journal? Is it an artists book? Or simply a notebook?
It's entirely up to you, but whatever you decide, your creative thoughts will be blossoming across the pages, inspired by my own original illustrations and images that pop up every now and then within this unique book.

The book was born after I sent myself back some postcards while I was away in Biarritz. But the postcards were 'sent' to famous people who were relevant to me during that trip. Bob Dylan, Sophie Calle, Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin, and Kelly Slater. I then created an image relating to each recipient, and decided to turn these works into a journal format.

The book measures 6" x 4" or 16 x 10 cms and has 24 handcut or torn pages in various sizes and the following assortment;
sketch paper
graph paper
black canson paper
my artwork
vintage french ledger paper
squared notepaper
kraft paper

bound with black thread and a shell bookmark

The cover can be personalised with your name (or the name of someone else if it is for a gift) in the address section.
Just let me know in notes to seller when you order.

So ge started with your scribbling, doodling or scrapbooking, perfect for popping in your bag and taking with you wherever you go, however you like, to fill up as inspiration strikes!
