Poignant
I use this book as inspiration for my illustrative work. I really like the authors style and the reason why he wrote this book. Great service, great quality and five star service.

Couldn’t put it down
Amazing sketch book with so much more that I didn’t expect to it. I’ve just started sketching so am intrigued to see anything akin to a sketchbook but the moving narrative alongside the life sketches was beautifully written tale of real life experiences. Read over the last 24 hours and will return to it very often. Going to go see what else this author and sketcher has done.

Excellent
What a wonderful little book. This book will inspire you to start your own artistic journal. There is also a face book group where people summit there own art journal work. Get it today and start drawing because every day really does matter.

A book about drawing not how to draw.
Don't expect a how to book, this is about draw, not how to draw. It contains a touching ,emotional journey of how a creative couple over came a devastating event and how drawing plays its part. And my favourite part is a simple line drawing with the caption, I always wanted to do drawing like this, and now I have.

Danny Gregory's writing is a joy, funny and also at time very moving
If one day, you feel the urge to want to sketch, draw & paint (again, perhaps after a long time of not having been active in these creative areas), then this is a book that can help you make a fresh start. Danny Gregory's writing is a joy, funny and also at time very moving.

Inspirational
This little book (120 pages) is very inspiring. It will motivate you to restart sketching anything and everything to journal your daily life. I have been following Danny's work for a while now and he certainly inspired me to take up sketching and enjoy doing art daily which is exactly what I wanted! I am not going to do big paintings but the I am very gratefull for the wellness I am getting out of it. Just one negative... I thought the book was pricey.

Warum es auf jeden Tag ankommt
Ein wunderbares Buch, das zeigt, wie sehr einem die eigene Kreativität auch über die schwersten Zeiten im Leben hinweg helfen kann. Danny Gregory hat nicht nur die Fähigkeit, uns das Besondere in alltäglichen Dingen zu zeigen, sondern animiert einen zugleich, genau diese Dinge besonders zu machen, indem man einen Stift in die Hand nimmt und ihnen die Ehre erweist, die ihnen zusteht. Ich habe auch seine anderen Bücher gelesen und bin mittlerweise Mitglied der Sketchbookskool, die er letztes Jahr mitbegründet hat. Wer immer schon kreativ werden wollte und es bisher nicht geschafft hat, sollte dieses Buch lesen.

Es una historia de vida que además trata de animar a dibujar
Un detalle a considerar es que el texto está escrito manualmente y aunque la letra es bastante clara, eso podría hacer que la lectura sea menos rápida si se tiene prisa. El libro ha tenido mucho éxito y es muy popular, particularmente entre artistas y aspirantes a dibujantes, ya que ha conmovido, inspirado e impulsado a mucha gente a dibujar hasta las cosas más cotidianas. Danny Gregory cuenta una parte de su vida y el cambio dramático que tuvo como consecuencia de un accidente que sufrió su esposa. Relata cómo el ponerse a dibujar y de este modo apreciar la belleza de las cosas que lo rodeaban lo ayudó a superar la situación por demás complicada y prácticamente le salvó la vida. El autor, profesionalmente es o fue un creativo de publicidad y se nota en el particular estilo de sus dibujos a tinta y acuarela que llenan el libro y son dignos de mirarse con detenimiento. Son dibujos tomados de sus sketchbooks, muy expresivos. Es un libro recomendable para los interesados en temas humanos y de arte.

奥さんが地下鉄事故に遭った
奥さんがいて、子どもがいて、ペットがいて、仕事が順調な生活。しかし奥さんがニューヨークの地下鉄で事故に遭った。生活が大きく変る。その書き出しで始まる。著者を救ったのがスケッチブック。 著者の手によるイラストと手書き文字による日誌が組み合わさって編集されている。スケッチてこんなふうにするんだとお手本を示してくれる。 著者のスケッチブックをのぞかせてもらって、そして著者の人生もすこしのぞかせてもらったような、そんな感じがする本です。 この本と、同じ著者によるAn illustrated life を読んでから自分でもスケッチブックを日記のように扱い始めた。

Expensive.
Am a fan and follower of the author. Yet found the book a huge let down. There's not much material in the book. The author simply talks about his experience. Book is expensive and not worth the cost.
