Cool Hunting
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 Lately I've been using one from the Unfinished and Unpublished series created in collaboration with Studio Matador.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.

The second crop of Friends With You Mimobots drops today and the collaboration between the character-themed thumb drive maker and the rainbow-splashed art collective couldn't be a better match.

We recently came across the work of Australian illustrator Bindi Booth, whose work is rich in color, detailed enough to keep you engaged, but simple enough to be appreciated at first glance. Of her illustrations she says, "I have been drawing ever since I can remember, and it's always been about girls and fashion. I get a lot of inspiration from the fashion industry...
