Bloggers show off their notebooks and creative doodlings, as at SkineArt, and share their secrets, such as Freelance SwitchвЂ™s noted The Monster Collection of Moleskine Tips, Tricks and Hacks post. Moleskine has followers every bit as passionate and devoted as AppleвЂ™s fanboys (and fangirls).

The notebooks were for creative geniuses on-the-go. Back then, the notebooks were black, handmade by French bookbinders, and, while utilitarian, represented a kind of artistic chic. In the 19th and 20th centuries, artists like Matisse, van Gogh and Picasso sketched and painted in them, and authors who couldnвЂ™t have been more disparate in writing style or personality, from Oscar Wilde to Ernest Hemingway, scribbled their stories in them. It was the original little black book, made of moleskin (a thick, cotton fabric with a shaved pile surface). Today, weвЂ™ll look at how two great product brands have united to create something fascinating: The Evernote Smart Notebook By Moleskine. Zedonk вЂ“ a cross between a zebra and any other equineДЄ hybrid takes two things that exist perfectly well independently and combines them to make something altogether more fabulous.
