I had never heard of Moleskines before. I bought my first one today and dove right in. I do have a question about it but I will save that for another thread.<br /> -<br /> I am a 3D artist, architectural draftsman, graphic artist, semi-retired trumpet player and a wanna-be illustrator. I used to draw all the time but drifted away from when I got into computer drawing however my daughter and I have been sketching together for the past month now and I am really enjoying it again. </p> https://www.skineart.com/forums/topic.php?id=17&page=3#post-909 Fri, 22 Jan 2010 19:52:42 +0000 offkilterart 909@https://www.skineart.com/forums/ <p>Just read a bunch of these posts. It's astounding how diverse the Skine art community is; contributors from all over the world.</p> <p>I first discovered Moleksines when I happened upon some of Mattias Adolfsson's art (which is some stellar stuff) and purchased one in the hope that the durability of the book itself, and the portability would allow me to draw anywhere at anytime allowing me to retreat even further from reality. The quality and smell of the paper (I like smelling books) made it impossible to stop filling page after page with nonsensical, spur of the moment doodles.</p> <p>I'm not sure how Skineart came to appear in my browser window (probably googling moleksine same as plasma girl), but I'm glad it did. Even when I have nothing to post, not a day goes by that I don't hit up the site to browse through new posts.</p> <p>Oh, and my name is Allen. Sorry for writing a book of a post. </p> https://www.skineart.com/forums/topic.php?id=17&page=3#post-907 Thu, 21 Jan 2010 23:02:23 +0000 John Speight 907@https://www.skineart.com/forums/ <p>Hi, I'm a papercut artist in England. Although I have to precisely design my papercuts I haven't done any free sketching for years. I discovered skineart.com through twitter at the same time as I discovered Danny Gregory's books. So I bought some Moleskines (Wow are they great or what!) in December and made a new year's resolution to draw something every day, just to see what develops. I'm addicted already because this website is so friendly and inspiring! </p> https://www.skineart.com/forums/topic.php?id=17&page=3#post-877 Thu, 07 Jan 2010 18:32:00 +0000 kuroba 877@https://www.skineart.com/forums/ <p>Hi, my name is Estivalia and I'm from Antofagasta, Chile.

Right from the start I've gor my nickname Ziza, and most of people even do not know my first name.<br /> My father and uncle (his brother) were both professional painters. The later turned out to be more an alcoholic (and died in my present age). Having that family "tradition" I wanted to become a painter myself. My father, although making a goooood living, was not in favour of the idea - due to uncertainty of income in that profession (at least in those days of Tito). I was a wunderkind in Maths, so he proposed me to join technical and artistic skills and become an architect. I didn't want to compromise, could not stand long hours of memorising by heart in order to study say social "sciences", so I went to "something completely different" (perhaps inspired by Monty Python, which was extremely popular at the time - and remained my favourite series to this day).<br /> I studied for civil engineer, and specialised in Hydraulcs. I have some kind of urges to paint, which come in waves with 11-year-gaps (has to be related to solar spots).However, I never stop drawing - and mostly all that went down the drain since it was on the marguins of the newspapers, books, meeting schedules and alike. When I discovered Moleskine, I decided to have one with me all the time, and now I'm making 2 drawings per day in average (Leo: how I'm going to post everithing with your set rate od one per day?).<br /> Well, my intro turned to be many-fold longer than I planned, but now I'm not gonna read it again and delete unnecessary stuff...<br /> PS. My profession brought me to live in Holland (Delft - the birthplace of my favourite painter Vermeer) for eight years, Tehran, Iran (six), and Hanoi, Vietnam (one) </p>
