I've seen so much stuff online that people have done in their precious Moleskine notepads, and even though I'm a reprehensible stationary fetishist I was pretty skeptical. A sketchbook's a sketchbook, yeah? Why spend £12 or whatever on something I'm just going to ruin with my amateurish drunken scrawlings anyway?
But having got one I must say that there is something strangely alluring about it - a subtle qualitative difference which demands one's attention. So I'm starting the new year with the intention of doing a small comic diary page each day. The Moleskine pages are small and smooth enough for me to use my Hunt 102 nib for all the inking, and I'm loving it. Might experiment a bit more with using the natural paper colour for some tonal variety. Blah blah blah.
