WOW! Everything about this is fantastic!! The font is amazing! I distress all my type by hand, but I've never tried to make a font. the day planner art is gorgeous! And the stamps are marvelous! Start to finish this is excellent!

Wow thanks! I've also never really tried to make a font before but the sites I mentioned make it pretty easy.

Thanks for the kind words and encouragement.

Love so much in this, man! Fully agree that blank pages and fancy journals are terrifying. When I used commercial ones, I preferred those with grid paper. Now I'm making my own and I love how I can customize them to what I need.

I also prefer grid paper whenever possible. It's enough of a guide but also not in the way if you want to ignore it.

I love the idea of sketching in a planner! I'm always looking for ways to remind me not to be so precious with sketchbooks, from writing UGLY SKETCHBOOK in big letters on the front to making sketchbooks myself out of different types of scrap paper. But I never thought of repurposing a book made for a totally different activity like this, it's a great exercise and the final result looks like it would be really fun to page through. (helps that your sketches are so charming :))

Oh I love the UGLY SKETCHBOOK idea. I've been holding onto random scrap paper to put together into a notebook or something but I know nothing about binding... thanks for the kind words!

Love the idea of planner as sketchbook! Definitely going to try that out. Also, that ted talk is fantastic - sharing it immediately with my art prof friend who loves skating!!

It's one of my favorites! He's using skateboarding as a way to talk about a bunch of other things.

I love this quote ! My daughter (same âge) sat on her bank with her luggage on her knees : » I am waiting for the subway /tube. Like my dad «  (with a real old metro ticket in the hand).

Which daily planner did you buy? Can you tell us who makes it?
