Moleskine Sketchbook Tour (2023-2024)

A peek into a sketchbook completed between 2023 to 2024

Hello Sketchbuds,

I am furiously working on a deadline while juggling commissions and trying to stay sane regarding the country’s future. There’s also the strange social media events happening all over different platforms (Meta is really dropping the ball). All in all, it’s been a rough start to the year for all of us and I wanted to give some art back to our community of 16 (and a peek for all the Sketchbugs out there who might want to become a Sketchbud)!

This is a collection of pages from a Moleskine sketchbook (5x8) that I used from mid 2023 to April 2024. I have been favoring Handbook sketchbooks for most of my personal work, but this moleskine was from my old RISD inventory so I knew it was time to use it. This little guy accompanied me through several books, illustrator events. preparing for my move to King of Prussia, , several award winning editorial illustrations, an eclipse, and reconnecting with my love of media exploration. You might even recognize some pages from other substack posts!

The cover and backcover are decorated with stickers from illustrators Lillian Xie and Josh Cochran respectively. And as mentioned in my previous sketchbook post, I’m left handed, so I always start my sketchbooks from the other side, upside down to ensure the paper side is still correct.
