Inspiration Friday - Moleskine it

Moleskine In case you don't know "Moleskine is the legendary notebook used for the past two centuries by great artists and thinkers, including Van Gogh, Picasso, Hemingway and Chatwin."  There is just something about these books that inspires.  I use mine for sketching, note taking, writing, "done" lists, music... I glue or tape in photos, pictures, and whatever else thrills me.  My Moleskine is always with me.

The books come in a variety of styles and each has a little back pocket to store misc receipts, business cards, tickets....the pieces of your life.  When I'm finished with a book, it holds a place on my bookshelf because you can be sure I'll refer to it again sometime.  A finished Moleskine is a piece of art in itself...all those thoughts, ideas, drawings and daily notes in one place, complete with color and misc tidbits.  Have fun.  Be inspired!

  • "I am very impressed with the work Lisa has done for us in this short time. She has a light touch, very appealing and attractive, plus real style."
    - Audrey Heard, Art On Groton Bank

  • "I was just handed the most incredible magazine article that I think has ever been written about me. It is just fantastic and people are presenting me with copies of the magazine. Really beautifully written, really beautifully written and no one has ever put all the pieces together as nicely as you have. Thank you so much."
    - David Black

  • "I am glad you are a perfectionist- You have given us a world-class site that will be an asset to The Guide as we move forward and expand."
    - Matt Holmes, The Art Guide

  • "I found Lisa Mikulski to be just the right resource at the right time: focused, professional, with a great eye for color and design, and with very fast turnaround time for getting images up on the web -- an artist's best friend and there when you need her! She's got a really good command of the two worlds we as artists now inhabit: the technical issues of cyberspace in today's market, combined with bottom line issues of artistic judgement. I highly recommend her as a great resource for web design, artistic and gallery management."
