McDonalds.....

I sat on lunch in the car, drawing, with my sketchbook across my body. Hated what I ordered and realized again why I don't eat there......except for the fries of course!

My first book bind


This is my new sketchbook and first sketchbook I have ever bound. Of course now I want to bind more. After the first you have so many ideas of what you can do. Initially I used inexpensive coverstock in case I royally screwed up. :) I am trying a new size out also. I went a little larger this time. I found the moleskine was a bit to narrow. This is 7" x 10". Bound on the long edge (so it fits in to a new leather cover) I will probably use it most in the landscape format. It has a nice two page spread with minimal breaks when you open it. I am trying out Arches 90lb CP this time. So we'll see how that goes.
