Drawn

A world of inspiration over at Daniel Robbins’ blog. Dig through the breathtaking flora fetish at the beginning to get to his oil studies and moleskine sketches (of which I wish there were more).

The folks at the Moleskine notebook company are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the classic font, Helvetica, with a special edition (500 copies) Helvetica Moleskine.

I think there are some left. I hope there are. I just ordered one in a fit of financial irresponsibility.

More Helvetica Moleskine porn.

James Jean has posted roughly 150 sketchbook images from years past on his site. Happy new year to us!

Urban Sketchers is a new blog showcasing a small community of artists around the world who draw the people and places of the cities where they live and travel to. It’s a sister site to the Urban Sketches Flickr group.

The image here is from Tommy Kane’s Moleskine.

I’m in love with these twisted comics/drawings over at Andrew Fulton’s Mumblier sketchblog. Drawn in his Moleskine sketchbook and coloured in Illustrator, they find the perfect balance between cute and morbid — my favourite flavour combination!

Oh man, how great would be to hold this sketchbook in your hands? Jim Woodring has posted a handful of hand-cut pop-ups he made out of his Moleskine sketchbook.

Check out all the great surreal stuff at Jim Woodring’s new blog. He’s also posting pages from his moleskine notebook as shown here.

UPDATE: Jed Alexander writes: “Recently a bunch of independent Japanese animators did their own interpretations of Frank stories. I’m not sure where you can get it.”

I’m not sure where to find the comic either, but you can watch the awesome Taruto Fuyama animation here.
