Instruction Manual
Came across this Thames and Hudson sketchbook or doodlebook in Foyles. I like the tacit understanding that it's hard to know where to start to sketch, that a blank canvas requires you think not unlike the paradox of choice when faced with near unlimited possibilities to consume. But sometimes you just want to be given a brief, a task, a defined thing to do [crossword puzzle etc.], a curated set of things from which to choose or work from. From there creative things can happen. Anyway, a simple way to redefine a practice and a product by simply changing the proposition from a noun to a verb, from a description to an instruction.
Fantastic book, my youngest son has it and it is great, as is 'Do you doodle?'
