Every few months I hop on my bike and go over to my old art college shop to get some of these; super-cheap but very good. Much less intimidating that something expensive like Moleskines. Then I wonder why everyone keeps asking me if I'm a student when I'm drawing. I also stopped by the \u003Ca href=\"http://www.cowlingandwilcox.com/art/default.aspx\">new art supply shop\u003C/a> near Camberwell Green, it's really good! I used to go straight up the East London Line to \u003Ca href=\"http://www.atlantisart.co.uk\">Atlantis\u003C/a>, in the East End, but ever since that tube line was closed for extention works (and will be until next year), that's sort of cut off the neighbourhood for me; I only make that long trek very occasionally now. \\r\n\\r\nSo \u003Ca href=\"http://www.garynorthfield.co.uk\">Gary Northfield\u003C/a> helped me fill the first page of two of my new sketchbooks; we both drew the top half of a monster and then swapped and did the bottom half. \\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/garysarah1-a2d5e992d8.gif\"> \u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/garysarah2-8ce8490251.gif\">","2009-05-01T10:09:00.000Z","christening-new-sketchbooks",[],"christening new sketchbooks",1776628732135]
