One of my favorite bloggers, Nicky over at Monster-Munch got me kinda thinking that I’d like to try a Traveling Moleskin project sometime. It looks like fun.
Basically the idea is that you take this Moleskin sketchbook…pick a theme, and then send it to designated people around the world to let them do whatever they want to the pages. Usually people track the progress of the books somehow, and then it eventually lands back in the hands of the original person. I’ve seen these used in gallery exhibitions, but sometimes they’re just kept as personal collections to be shared in some online gallery on Flikr.
I’m not as well connected as some of the big celebrity designers, but maybe this might be a fun thing to do with friends and family. I know my sister-in-law is quite talented with felt figures herself. Some of my former band-members can either draw or are into design too. We gotta do this! Who’s in?
This contribution above was funny. It’s called “Chinese Whispers”. Get it? Oh SOO true!
LoweStudio Inc was founded by me, Raphael Lowe, a Honolulu based illustrator and web designer. I presently design and manage a few dozen commercial websites, but my main focus these days is acting as the head developer for Kapiolani Community College and teaching
Yes, I’m definitely all for doing this. Let’s get it started!
Cool. Give me a couple weeks I’ll pick up a book and try do some research what some of the common rules are for this thing. I’ve never done this before. I figure we’ll have some basic rules, set up a quick and dirty way to register to participate, and then I think I have to start it off with my own creation of a theme & my own creation.
why not come join us at our party, or enjoy a moleskine when they are sent back out after the party on the 22nd October? Obviously you don’t have to but you are really welcome to!

Wow, thanks for your kind invitation Emma…while I’d love to have an excuse to come that party, I think I have a 20lb baby acting as an anchor on my travels for now. Yeah, maybe I’ll be involved in future moleskine projects. I’m going to see how this little project amongst my friends and family go.
