Back Pocket Presents: a pilot project

I’m really excited to announce that a few wonderful artists are using BackPocket Notebooks as a pilot project to find how well they perform.

So far the feedback has been all positive for the Responsive Design Notebooks, however the target market for those will fall mostly towards digital folks who for the most part may take notes & sketch wireframes.

I wanted these notebooks to be practical and useful for _everyone_ and _all_ uses. Fortunately I currently live onsite at an Art Studio where my wife is the Studio Manager and I was able to ask a few of my favourite artists if they would be interested in trialling the notebooks.

The scope of the favour was essentially

“Here’s a notebook — please be creative or practical — paint a Picasso or make a shopping list, and let me know what you think.”

The artists

Below is a preview of the first three artists that are taking place. If you know someone that might be interested please get in touch.
