Does your sketchbook/notebook collection suck?

Aug 15

I'll make this quick and worth your while.

I appreciate that you tend towards my slice of the digital pie.

After years of thinking about getting back into letter writing and pen-paling... It's happening. I love sending surprises in the mail!

Do you want me to send you something?

I la la la la la l LOVE stationary, office, and art supplies. For my birthday I took myself to one of my favorite local stationary shops in Santa Ana and bought $137 worth of supplies. Here's the thing, I bought some extra with you in mind.

I want to turn up the fun-volume and share my supplies with you—my loyal email subscribers and truest soul-siblings.

Welcome to the very first ... drum roll and fanfare ... I love my email subscribers lottery!

Here's how to play.

Meet the Slate Notebook from Blackwing, partnered with OBEY. It's a limited edition offering and SOLD OUT very quickly. Of course it's blue.

From the Blackwing website:

OBEY was founded by Shepard Fairey in 1989 with the goal of reawakening our sense of wonder about our environment and stimulating our curiosity. Over three decades later, OBEY is still challenging peoples' perspectives.

We’ve teamed up with Obey Giant to create this special edition notebook that encourages you to see things differently. The cover features a Blackwing pencil illustrated by Shepard Fairey in the iconic Obey Giant style, and the pencil holster comes loaded with a Blackwing x Obey pencil. Inside, you’ll find 160 pages of 100GSM, blank, ivory paper that’s perfect for sketching or writing your observations.

This notebook is available from Blackwing and Obey Giant while supplies last. SOLD OUT!
