The Pocket Sketchbooks

Part 2 of 5 of : FIVE ways to fit art into your daily routine

“The best camera is the one you have with you“ - Apple Commercial

We use our phones more as a camera than a phone.

But this wasn’t always the case I remember a time when trying to figure out the best camera was the topic of discussion at art school and on review sites. There was a site called Flickr where you could share your photos, and it will include all the metadata, the settings behind the digital photos.

Then apple came up with a commercial, that said “ the best camera is the one you have with you.

Maybe I made all that up. But that’s how I remember this change of mindset, that best for the job means available.

And while I love the same and touch of so many sketchbooks and art materials, my go to is always a pocket sketchbook.

If you want to fit your art into your daily routine, try stating with something that fits in your pocket.
