I always love seeing artists’ notebooks. A good illustrator’s doodles and studies always inspire me to start my own sketchbook. Too bad I can’t draw. My pal Alex Boucherot of AEIOU sent me a link to French artist “Madmeg” Margot’s scanned sketchbook. A rough translation of the artist’s statement:
“Since the beginning of 2001, I draw in small notebooks 11 cm X 15 cm (approximately), always with a ball point pen, always on same paper, always in black. I contrained myself never to tear a page off, what is done… is done. I put the date at the beginning and the end of each notebook. Each day (or almost) I spend one hour or two drawing in these notebooks. At this day, I made approximately 450 pages distributed in 12 notebooks.”
