Jesse may be found at his website, Aston Handmade, on Etsy, at I Art Books, the Fountain Pen Network as jesse.bo and on Facebook at I Art Books. You should connect with him on whatever your social network preference.
I discovered Jesse just before the holidays and was lucky enough to get in on his very first notebook giveaway, which I luckily won!
This book measures approximately 6" by 4-1/2".
The leather cover is wonderfully textured and weathered.
This book has exposed stitching with seven signatures of eight pages each for a total of 56 pages.
The paper is very heavy and textured. There was no feathering with my fountain pens...
and absolutely no show-through or bleed-through.
The paper accepted a watercolor wash with absolutely no issues.
I really like the paper in this journal/sketchbook. It is well made and also a convenient size to drop in my daily bag.
Please check out Jesse's store and other sites, he is currently making a few journal's using Tomoe River paper. I recently purchased one and will post about it after I receive it and test it out.

That's a bad-ass journal - nice score! Look's like it's perfectly suited for getting lost in thoughts, tactile dreaming, and any other adventure you might throw at it.
Very nice! Thanks for sharing.
COOOL!!! I bet you'll make good use of it :D That is a wicked journal!
So cool to see art in my journals. I often think about the art and poetry that may someday end up in my books as I am making them. Thank you Julie!
