Sketchbook Reveal

by James Hobbs

After filling 206 volumes over the course of his adulthood, London artist and author James Hobbs reveals every single page from seven beloved sketchbooks in this one-of-a-kind art book. Dramatic sketches of a beach bonfire lighting up and being extinguished by the tide fill the pages of a spiral-bound notebook he used as an art student. The rolling hills of the English countryside in a recent hardbound sketchbook were drawn as he traveled by train to see his ailing father. Sketchbook Reveal gives readers the opportunity to peek into Hobbs’ unique visual diaries and be inspired by his lifelong sketchbook habit.
