I haven’t blogged about anything in awhile, so I figured I would grab something nearby and take some pictures of it. I completed this 3 book series a month or so ago. My goal was to make what in my mind would be the perfect sketchbook for a fine artist. I came up with these wide format, leatherbound, Rives BFK Gray notebooks. I have already gifted two of them to some very fine artists, and I am sure I will find someone to give the 3rd one to soon. I hope they will draw/paint/watercolor/gouache/doodle all over them, then let me borrow them so I can take some pictures of them worn, when I hope they will be more beautiful and just as intact.

I love the design of you site Andy and your ideas and work are truly inspirational.
See these books reminded me; I’m after an A4 book that could be used as a note book, sketch book, photo album / scrap book for my fist child, daughter Edith.
I wondered if you would take on commissions and be interested??
Let me know Andy, many thank again for opening my eyes.
Yours, (Green with envy) Paul.

Thanks for your kind words Paul! I am very busy with school right now, but I will be out for the summer in less than a month. Email me if you are still interested in the A4 book, I would love to make something one of a kind for you.

simply beautiful! it’s always refreshing to find such attention to craft. and it’s amazing how difficult it is to find a well-crafted useable sketchbook. keep up the great work and please let me know if you intend to sell these.
