I go through a lot of notebooks whether just for doodling or to-dos. Lately I've been using one from the Unfinished and Unpublished series created in collaboration with Studio Matador.
A numbered, limited-edition (500 of each version) collection of notebooks, they feature original art works from a variety of artists including Aussie streetwear designer Alpha 60, isis&pluto and Pandarosa, among others. All the notebooks feature a hard glossy cover, while a mix of colored, lined, grid, parchment, computer stock and unprinted pages offer multiple functions. Unlike standard varieties, these have an exposed, hand sewn binding allowing the pages to open completely and lay flat for easier writing.
