July Sketchbooks
These are Royal Talens Sketchbooks and a Clairefontaine Sketchbook which I'd helped Joanna Tseng purchase last year and havent touched because it felt a) too special to use (eye roll!) and b) The size of it means its difficult to photograph for Instagram (even bigger eye roll!!!) …
