Thing-A-Day 5

Thing-A-Day 5

Day 3 of the Chicago notebook.

Finished the inside front cover this afternoon. I wasn’t sure at first if I liked the busy colors and lines after the more muted pencil work from yesterday’s photo, but I think it works.

Above the large Chicago is the city’s flag, which covers up the “reward if found” lines which grace the inside cover of every Moleskine. I figure contact info can end up somewhere else inside the book.

I was almost tempted to draw a little Loch Ness-style monster swimming in the depths of Lake Michigan, but I’m not sure if there have been any sightings of any such creature in any of the Great Lakes. Any residents of the Midwest out there who can help clue me in?

Now on to the organization and tabbing of pages, and then the scribbled info: itinerary, restaurant listings, museum hours, etc. Fun times, fun times.

  • this is a cool idea. curious to see where it goes. you’re one of the few people that seem to have an actual plan

  • very nice, it sure looks like Chicago to me! (the flag doesn’t get a lot of use outside official city stuff…)
