INTRODUCTION TO THE BOOK
There's something pure about the process of drawing and working with paper. It's the ultimate direct manipulation — you sit down, there's nothing on the page. You work with your hands. By the time you get up, you've created something. It's powerful, electric. In art school, I carried paper notebooks as well. Sometimes with class notes, sketches or more. But my current paper notebook technique started to come into focus about ten years ago. That's when it shifted from being a space for illustration and drawing to being a tool for reflection and thought.
