TEDMED NOTEBOOK ILLUSTRATIONS
A few months ago I tag-teamed a sketchnotes illustration project with my friend Mike Rohde for Tribal DDB Worldwide, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Pioneer program, and TEDMED 2010. They’d seen our Viznotes booklet for SXSW 2010, and wanted to create something similar. (If you’re interested in reading more about the project, Mike posted a great writeup.)
Here are a few of my illustrations. See more of the work in Mike’s Flickr set →
And here are some drawings that weren’t used:
TRAVEL NOTEBOOKS AND PLANNING FOR A TRIP TO MONTREAL
Meg and I are getting ready for a week-long trip to Montreal. In the past, when we prepared to travel to a new city, I would photocopy maps out of a travel guide and paste them into a Moleskine to make little customized itineraries:
Now Moleskine has their own line of reasonably-priced Moleskine City Notebooks that include nice color maps and transparent overlays that make things even easier:
Here are things we’re hoping to hit (thanks to the great cartoonist and Montrealite Matt Forsythe for some of the recs!):
- a hike up the mountain (in the middle of town) for a great view of the city
- visit to the Drawn & Quarterly bookstore (211 Bernard West)
- Art museums: Art Contemporain and Beaux Arts
- Dinner at Au Pied de Cochon
- Dinner at L’Express (a bistro) on St-Denis street
- coffee on St-Denis
- a stroll through Old Montreal
- Bagels from Saint-Viateur
- breakfast/brunch in Mile End neighbourhood
- a smoked meat sandwich from Schwartz‘s
It’s been a long time since we’ve been out of Austin, let alone Texas, and this is my first visit to Canada, so we’re really excited and dusting off our French skills.
If anybody has any recommendations for things to see / do / eat while we’re there, please leave them in the comments!
What seems pointless
From today’s newsletter:
On Instagram, a reader asked me in response to my collages: “How do you balance making fun stuff with doing business? Do you allocate time to simpl[y] make ‘pointless’ things?” I scribbled the image above into my notebook in response, and then I got so worked up thinking about the topic that I scribbled this followup, which I’ve edited slightly:

Another year on the (note)books
My last Friday newsletter of 2024 was a round-up of my favorite books, music, movies, TV, and newsletter issues: “Another year on the (notebooks).”
So many people asked me about the photo of the stack of my logbook, my pocket notebooks, my commonplace diary, and my diaries that I’m afraid I’m going to have to write, once again, about the four notebooks I keep going at one time. Stay tuned in 2025…
