I love to see other folks’ sketchbooks and notebooks. I love to see a beautiful but REAL sketchbook. I like the variety of ink testing and landscape sketches and Claudia @The_Cloudy_Desk has a beautiful balance of both.

Now, I’ll let Claudia of Cloudy Desk tell you a bit about themself.
Hi, I’m Claudia aka The Cloudy Desk (they/she), because who doesn’t love sitting at their desk on a cloudy day with a notebook and a cup of tea? I have been a fan of stationery since I went to the Sanrio Store in Times Square as a child and got a set of Hello Kitty pencils. I went to a German-style middle school in New York that required me to write all of my homework in fountain pen inked with blue or black ink, and later in life I returned to using fountain pens in my art as a way to have more control over my ink options.

Earlier this year I launched an online store where I sell stickers and other things I’ve made to raise money for causes I care about. I’ve already been able to donate over $700 from the sales and it is the work I am most proud of.
Grab some of these great stickers while they are still available!
