First, congrats to everyone who attempted and or completed Inktober. I didn’t get nearly as far along on my Inktober as I had wanted. I got about 24 or so of the 31 drawings done. Some I did twice because I didn’t like how they turned out the first time. I didn’t stick to my…

Link Love: Paper Phone? Isn’t that a notebook?
First, this week, we are shamelessly plugging Jesi’s sister and her nieces Kickstarter project.

I’ve been a huge fan of Mike Rohde‘s Sketchnote project and his Sketchnote Handbook and Sketchnote Workshops. In general, he’s an all-around great guy and when I heard he’d created a Sketchnote Ideabook to meet his exacting standards for sketchnoting, I was all-in. Partnering with Airship notebooks, the Sketchnote Ideabook is a soft-touch, hardcover A5 notebook…
