The Joy of Blank Notebooks

I love blank notebooks.

I had some unexpected time off school this morning, so I decided to head off to Cafe Lexcel in the Tokyo International Forum to do some drawing.

I didn’t bring my recharger with me, and seeing as the battery on my iPad Pro was running low, decided to go old-school and put pen to paper.

I always keep at least one notebook in my bag/jacket, usually both, however the one I had on me was almost out of sheets. In search of paper replenishment, I swung by Bic Camera to peruse their stationery store. Bic Camera is an electronics megastore chain, which also stocks numerous other good as well. The Gods of Cartoonists were smiling on me today as I discovered these beauties:

Look at all that endless possibility!

Cartoons to be drawn…doodles to be, well, doodles…notes to be scribbled…such fun!

I get almost as much pleasure cracking open a blank notebook as I do filling up the pages.

It reminds me of a friend of mine to whom the highlight of buying a new book is sniffing it before reading it. But that’s another story…probably for another notebook…

What have you filled a notebook with recently?

Let me know, I’d love to hear.
