Two large Moleskine notebooks have found their way into my work and consciousness.  One is plain black, inconspicuous; the other, I engraved with a quill and antiqued with evil-cool crimson fluid acrylic.

I can’t easily find my back to what I've put down -- no tags, no neatly-indexed archives guide me -- but maybe that’s not the point of pen and notebook. Something visceral emerges in the pour of fresh ink, free and warmed by my hand: something alive (imperfect) that unforgiving pixels pick clean.]]></description>
