I do most of my mental work, thinking and planning, in a small cache of moleskine notebooks. I've recently begun carrying a variety of them, no less than 5, each one assigned a medium or cause. It's been really helpful in organizing and specializing the work. I'm a big fan of context, so having the books this way has been helpful in maintaining focus on each thing while allowing for a healthy push and pull of new ideas.
Here is a small selection of the contents, across different notebooks, and so, different times and projects and ambitions. Some which may see the light of day.
Enjoy,
James

ReplyDeleteAll of this is great, James! I still can't get over how simple yet specific the poses of the lady in the park are... I just know exactly what it feels like to lay like that, the weight, the squash, the pull, etc.

These are amazing James! I can't stop looking at them!!
