Artist José Naranja is a self-professed notebook maker and his incredible sketchbooks have earned him a passionate following online.

A former aeronautic engineer, Naranja’s sketchbook adventures began in 2005 when he purchased his first pocket-sized Moleskine. Since then he’s been using the books to write, sketch, collage and remember his daily experiences while travelling or just living everyday life.

These days, José now makes his own sketchbooks, a bookbinding process that he has laid out how to do yourself on his blog.

He’s also compiled his favorite works into a ‘best of’ sketchbook called ‘The Orange Manuscript‘ which is available for sale on his website.
