They look very nice. I think my WH Smith floral number will hold up until it's full, but maybe then I'll invest in a Moleskine. ps - your sketches are very impressive! :) neil – I’d never heard of Moleskines before I read your blog.

I have a variety of styles and sizes for drawings, sketches, notes, etc. But one, which is small enough to get in my back pocket, goes everywhere. It contains anything and everything that comes into my head from meeting notes, to phone numbers, to the odd scribble which may evolve into my next <a href="http://neildixon.com/artblog/" rel="nofollow">drawing</a>. There's something about the Moleskine which encourages its use - at least it does in me! I struggled with noteboks until I discovered Moleskines.

Perhaps it's the romance of writing that gets me... or the fact that my laptop is way too heavy to cart around everywhere while I wait for inspiration to strike! In the past couple months, I've filled a couple notebooks with ideas and am always thrilled to look back and be surprised by a great idea I've forgotten about. In fact, my last notebook (which held up fantastically under a heavy writing and traveling schedule) looks suspiciously like that notebook you've used as the picture above!
