I like that blogs haven't taken over from physical diaries and sketchbooks. I think as much as the visual we need texture in our lives, and sometimes collected scraps of images or writing or tickets and the crinkle of gluestick gives it to us.
To make a physical mark, and have the ink seep through onto the next page. Spilt water, pencil shavings, the grit collected just by hurtling through your life in your bag.
Moleskine have a wonderful slideshow site on Flikr, with people sharing their sketchbook images. It changes constantly I love it. Good to visit.
Shmonsta, do you still have all those beautiful diaries/research journals you made when dreaming of travels to Sth America? They were magical. Kas
