Description When I was a kid, my father used to bring to me small black notebooks home for me to do my first drawings, I used them without knowing anything about their story, nevertheless, it was absolutely a pleasure to start off a brand new little notebook, for me it was a very important object during those days, time went through and I began using some other materials. But a few time ago, thanks to our friend Héctor Garza, who gave us as a present these marvelous treasures (that's what they mean for us) for participating during his conference cycle at the "Festivalito Comiquero" ("Little Comic Festival"), we were able to reencounter the fascinating world of the Moleskine notebook, mythical notebook that only until that day we were able to know part of its story which came written within the notebook. The Moleskine was used by European artists and intellectuals from the last centuries. This notebook's format was very useful for its transportation, in fact, we carry them in our jackets, so that at any time we are able to draw or take notes wherever or whenever we want to. These notes and sketches are useful for us to do the definite layouts later on, whether they be for a comic, illustration, publicity idea or just doodling.

I really wanted to use it again from the time I subscribed to DeviantArt, since I'm a sweden artist's fan from this online artistic community, whose name is Mattías Adolfsson who uses tons and tons of Moleskines.

Cuando yo era niño, mi padre me llevaba a la casa pequeñas libretas negras para que realizara mis primeros dibujos, las utilicé sin saber algo de su historia, sin embargo era increíblemente un placer el comenzar una libreta nuevecita, para mí era un objeto demasiado importante en esos días, pasó el tiempo y comencé a usar otros materiales. Pero hace poco, gracias a nuestro amigo Héctor Garza que nos obsequió estos magníficos tesoros (para nosotros), por haber participado en sus ciclos de conferencias Festivalito Comiquero, pudimos reeencontrar el fascinante mundo de la libreta llamada Moleskine, mítica libreta de notas que hasta ese día supimos parte de su historia por una pequeña información en la misma libreta, la Moleskine era utilizada por los artistas e intelectuales europeos de los dos últimos siglos, el formato de esta libreta es muy útil para transportarse, de hecho nosotros la llevamos en nuestras chamarras, ya que al momento, en ellas podemos realizar apuntes y bocetos en cualquier lugar donde nos encontremos, mismos que nos sirven para después realizar los originales definitivos ya sea de un cómic, ilustración, idea publicitaria, o simplemente garabatear.

A mi se me antojaba volver a usarla desde que me metí a DeviantArt, pues soy fan de un artista Sueco de esta comunidad artística en línea llamado Mattías Adolfsson que utiliza kilos y kilos de Moleskines.

Moleskines are awesome, aren't they? I imagine if Dr. Seuss had a sketchbook it would've looked something like this... Great drawings!

Hi Chazby, sorry for taking so long to respond, the weather here in Mexico will be quite cold until January, not so much as it is in other countries, but a little cold for us is a lot! ha ha.

Warm Regards!!!
