My “sketchskines” are an intrinsic part of my work as a whole. In a way they’re very existence has led to trains of thought and images that wouldn’t have been there otherwise. Their physical properties mesh very well with my life and allow me to carry my work everywhere. I’m very particular about drawing instruments: use Pilot Better Retractable and technical pens: Rottring and Rapidograph. Also carry a watercolor field box — sometimes I use coffee or red wine.
I do a drawing in my book every morning — something in front of me and, when I feel like it, I include a fake haiku (17 syllables but my own rhythm). Additional drawings are fine but the first one is very important. From that drawing in the moleskine I build the rest of my work: a continuing thread being the effort to make sense of the physical environment from fragmented perception. I’m fascinated by the pull to define experience through perceptual elements. The moleskines give me the foundation vocabulary and, in many ways, they’re my foundation art.
I go through one every 2 or 3 months.

An utterly unrelated comment – what kind of blog software are you running? Me like.
Oh, I like the concept too …
(In Don LaFontaine’s voice):
“Moleskinerie is powered by Movable Type
hosted by TypePad.”
Very impressive!
Considerably, this post is really the sweetest on this notable topic. I harmonise with your conclusions and will thirstily look forward to your incoming updates. Saying thanks will not just be sufficient, for the phenomenal clarity in your writing. I will directly grab your rss feed to stay informed of any updates. Admirable work and much success in your business dealings! Please excuse my poor English as it is not my first tongue.
I can see that you are putting a lots of efforts into your blog. Keep posting the good work.Some really helpful information in there. Bookmarked. Nice to see your site. Thanks!
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
Hey, I recently started reading your blog – thank you for the good work. Just wanted to let you know that it’s not showing up properly on the BlackBerry Browser (I have a Tour). Either way, I’m now subscribed to the RSS feed on my PC, so thanks!
Nice post. Thanks for sharing. Keep it up!
Thanks so much for this information … I’m already doing some of these suggestions but there are many others that are new to me.
Hi there, I just needed to state how interesting I find this blog!
