other groups, concertina 'skine

I won't make a habit of posting links to this group but I happen to hit the wrong link in my history folder and up popped one by Stefano Faravelli from the same Detour series. Stefano has apparently been on a trip and used his moleskine to record events. It starts off a bit shaky but after page three he gets his stride. Lovely!

(Is it just me or is there something sensual in the way the black band is drawn to one side? I think it's the slight fumble there - it's just me then!)

other people's 'skinerie

Perusing the space for ideas, I found this link somewheres - I think I followed the Moleskinerie link here and eventually ended up on YouTube. I admire this work by Takayashi Yoshinari. He, or maybe she, has created a single piece, 'Flow', which runs throughout the book, leading on from the previous page. It's such a simple idea, but beautifully executed. I especially like the way they've imagined a virtual extension to some of the pages and left the real page only to join it again at a different point, often a different page. Why don't I think of these things?!

There are several in this collection from 2006 on YouTube. At least a couple of contributors, Valeria Petrone, and Ted Goff, started by drawing two similar sized cells on each side of every page and used these as frames. I like that idea too.

PS. numpty that I am, it's only just occurred to me that these two approaches are polar opposites!
