Moleskine Art features art created on the Moleskine sketchpads.  


For those who don't know about Molskine notebooks, they have one for just about any use.  Be it music, art, an everyday journal, ledger... you name it.  I use the 5" x 8" hardbound plain paper (no ruled lines).  They are fantastic to sketch in, as they use quality paper that won't bleed through if you use markers or watercolors.

For anyone who wants to get into drawing Manga, I highly recommend Mark Crilley as the way to start.  Mark has his own Manga publications, as well as a comprehensive how-to book just recently published.

His Manga series Miki Falls is being turned into a movie by Paramount Pictures.  Other series to watch are Brody's Ghost and Akiko.  He is an amazing artist, and his tutorials on YouTube are fantastic as well.  Check him out.

This guy has some amazing tutorials on drawing, digital painting in PaintShop Pro and Photoshop, as well as some Manga tutorials.  I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their skills.

Original art, limited run T-shirts... Affordable prices.  And when I say limited run, I mean that they only make about 1000 of each design, and they're only on sale for one day.  Check it every day, with credit card in hand for some amazing art.
Since I just recently restarted, revamped and re-purposed this blog, over the next few days... weeks... or months, I'm going to be posting links, pics and what-not of what inspires me.  It can range from art to design, to DIY to Rocketry to making something cool.  Who knows, I might even throw in a bikini clad girl just to spice things up.  But we'll keep it clean.  Hope you enjoy.
