I have been busy busy busy lately, packing my sketchbooks and some paintings, getting ready to head off to Clermont-Ferrand in France for the Rendezvous du Carnet de Voyage! I feel honored to have been invited to the Rendezvous this year, and also to exhibit my paintings in Vic-le-Comte.

Otherwise I always go places with my dear M, but this travelling-on-my-own thing is becoming quite the habit this year – first the Urban Sketchers Symposium in Lisbon, and now this! If you are anywhere near the Rendezvous – come keep me company for a few minutes! I´ll be in the Scandinavian corner! : )

Just a thought: wouldn´t it be nice to see the Moleskine Watercolour Notebook in portrait format? Picture it before you, opening a portrait format Watercolour Notebook and having that almost square shaped spread to work on! Quite nice, huh? Because, honestly, the existing ones have a rather hopeless extreme landscape format, that many of us just don´t find very useful.

So, as an experiment, I created a Facebook group (my first, and probably last) to see if it´s possible to have some influence on what Moleskine decide to put out on the market. But to have any effect at all, a group needs members, right? Therefore, if you feel the same about this, follow the link below to join the group! And don´t play it safe by just hitting “Like”, JOIN!

We would love to see a Moleskine Watercolor Notebook in PORTRAIT format

I finally added another sketchbook to the sketchbook page – the Brown book, covering the period from September 2006 to April 2007. Hope you enjoy flipping through it!
