Moleskine is a legendary notebook that has held the inspirations and ideas of everyone from Van Gogh, Picasso and Hemingway to famed author, Bruce Chatwin. Artists, authors, and geniuses of a wide variety have long appreciated the simplicity and superior functionality of these notebooks. It is just one type of notebook that I really like because they have so much history and personality, but really any will work. Keeping a journal is something that I have done since I can remember... it is a great way that I can now go back and see the journey that life has taken me on and all the interesting people, places and idea's I have run into along the way. As an artist, I think it is especially important because you never know when you will hear or see that thing that offers a tiny but significant source of inspiration. Plus it really helps me because I am incredibly scatter brained most times :) And no matter how many times I tell myself to remember something unless I write it down I will most likely forget. So go out and pick yourself up a notebook... you'll be amazed at the things that inspire you but get forgotten about throughout your day :)
