Sketchbooks

One of the best places to find hand-drawn type is inside an artist’s sketchbook. Here’s a few snoop through:

They’re all so pretty! I’m a callous notebook editor, if I make a mistake, I rip out the page. Bad bad bad!

I love the typography and it reminds me of how I used to ride the bus a lot during college. Those sketchbooks were full of fun type, and art but also wonderful out of context quotes. Time to revisit sketchbooks, and public transportation.

That’s certainly a rare look inside an artist’s mind. Raw thoughts.
