The story behind the Cover Art collection

A Mexican costume and set designer, an English illustrator, a Brazilian graphic artist These are the artists who have been selected from around the world for first issue of Cover Art Journals, the new collection of high quality notebooks created by Moleskine to celebrate the creativity of the myMoleskine community. A meeting place for sharing images, photos, videos, illustrations and drawings from personalised sketchbooks (since April 2009), the myMoleskine gallery keeps thousands of images and drawings created on Moleskine pages, scanned and uploaded directly by users.


Benjamin Barrios, Paul Desmond and Maykel Cordeiro Nunes are the three artists who have been selected by Moleskine to start the Cover Art Collection. Available in three different layouts--ruled, squared and with plain pages--the notebook covers reproduce drawings from their sketchbooks. The Cover Art notebooks feature Singer sewn binding. For each image used, Moleskine will make a donation to a different non-profit organisation chosen by the artist.
