I’ve always been a fan of those creative diaries that artsy yet troubled teenagers have in movies and television shows; ones like David Fullarton’s moleskine works. Actually, I tried to keep one myself—unfortunately, I conveniently forgot that some artistic talent was necessary.
Taking the classic, quality notebook that he at one point despised, David Fullarton filled it with these mixed-media pieces of comedic art. Check out the gallery above and I’m sure you’ll be tempted to imitate David Fullarton’s work as well.
