A new thing
January 10, 2005
While I have gone on and off moleskines over the years, I had to snap this one up. A journal preprinted with little frames, perfect for sketching out little storyboards or page layouts or comic books or whatever. All on a sturdy, water resistant oaktag paper. If you're a designer or ad guy or film maker or odd book collector, check it out.
A record of my exploration into all aspects of drawing, illustrated journaling, creativity, and the inspiring aspects of art. By the author of "Everyday Matters," "The Creative License", and "An Illustrated Life" and other books.

This may be the most fantastic thing I've ever seen.

I don't have one yet, but I loved 'em the moment I set eyes on 'em. Gotta have one or ten.

Cool! I'd love to know who makes this so I can try to find one locally or order one.

I've become obsessed with moleskines and have yet to see this new one you talk about! Good find!

I believe the official name is Storyboard Notebook. (It looks like it's currently only available in the 3.5" x 5.5" size.)

Speaking of new things, the new nameplate? banner? -- whatever it's called, I like the new look.

Now, of course, we look forward to seeing some sketches in the new moleskin.

Oh damn you! I read this just before lunch and had a $10 borders voucher burning a hole in my pocket. I'm now the proud owner of a mini version (they didn't have the larger one).

Ah, found out who makes these: http://www.moleskine.it/eng/_interni/catalogo/Cat_int/catalogo_pocket.htm
Now, to scour the South Florida countryside for one...

Oh, no, my imagination just ran away with me! Now I have to go look for one of these!

Thank you for sharing your world, Danny.

Have you noticed how each of the little sketching frames is in exact ratio to the Moleskine as a whole? Its even got the little markings at the half-way point of the top and bottom where the notebook crease would be. I think there is potential here for a cynical little post-modern metaphor for a contemporary preference for the copy rather than the authentic, a la Jean Baudrillard. But that would spoil the simple beauty of Moleskine which should never be blasphemed.
