Notebooks

To cultivate creativity, keep a physical notebook — one you carry with you.

Don’t call it a sketchbook; that builds in too much expectation.

Just a notebook.

One you’ll actually use.

This will take some experimentation.

Over the years, I’ve used different styles: large and small, hardcover, softcover, bound, spiral, stitched, lined, squared, dotted, blank …

What matters is that you carry it and you use it.

Because as artists, makers, and creative thinkers, we’re collectors. Collectors of prompts, ideas, visions, and whims.

Our notebooks are our nets.
