… to customise and return to the Moleskine website Notebookco for inclusion in their Moleskine cover hacks project.
I completed the first one over the weekend:
I was completely unsure of what the colour of the cardboard would do to the colour of the markers and I’m really pleased with the end result, gives it a “dated” look that I may seek out again.
I’ll let you all know what the details are and how you might be able to get your hands on this custom Moleskine …

It has been a while since I really liked a Batman comic, I got back into reading them just before the whole Batman RIP thing started and found it was harder than an X-Factor comic for me to work out what was going on and who was doing what and that Bruce Wayne has a son.
Right.
Lot’s changed since I was reading them in the 90s.
But I’m just this minute about to settle down to read me some Battle for the Cowl and noticed the very last cover which I instantly loved!
The cover artist is Dustin Nguyen whom I don’t think I’ve heard of before and should not be mixed up with the Power Ranger actor (a mistake wikipedia made immediately). I like the sketchiness and the capture of movement in their hair. It feels like a fresh cover which is appropriate for a new age of Batman that I might even try and get back into.
Now in related comic book stuff I found a figurine in the local toystore that I was very tempted to buy. The greatest DC comics character of all time, G’nort.
I’m reasonably sure that only Dan of the blog All that comes with it will understand why this figurine even exists in the first place, I believe he and are the only ones in the blogosphere who have read or at least remember (or own up to) reading Justice League International.
Just to clarify, yes that is a dog, yes he is wearing a Green Lantern outfit, no I don’t get it either and even though it is Australian dollars it is hard to fathom who would pay $44.95 for such a figurine.
The cover of Running Blind - I don't know what they're running from but it seems tense
I saw this in a second hand shop over the weekend and I just love the illustration on the cover. It captures motion and tension really well and is surprisingly detailed. I only just noticed the jeep in the corner!
I have no idea what the book is about or even who drew the cover but I like it and I thought I’d share since I’ve been a little scarce around here lately (hey it’s better than the junk mail post I was about to write!!).
What do you guys think? If anyone has actually read it I’d be interested in the plot (now I wish I’d forked over the $2).
