Some scans of the more interesting (or rather, less embarrassing) pages in my notebook.

Overview

This notebook contains almost every thought which crosses my mind.


A lot of the content is orgiginal, some is not (usually misquoted either accidentally or purposefully). Most of it is somewhere in between.


It serves as an unorganized written/pictoral record for ideas which I can later come back and revisit. This notebook serves as the starting point for most of my ideation in both creative and non-creative projects.
