Ungridded Pocket Notebooks

Their UnGridded Pocket Notebooks and Colouring Books focus on different topics from many diverse disciplines. Each page is patterned with unique linework from artist/designers AMINIMAL Studio, Nervous system, and HYBYCOZO and focuses on the topics of Travel, Urban Planning, Natural systems, Mathematics, Sacred Geometry, Music, Generative art etc.

I backed both their Series I and Series II Pocket Notebooks.  Each pocket notebook has 32 pages which are individually designed and have patterns with a particular theme.  If you missed out during the Kickstarter campaign you can buy the notebooks and colouring books in their online shop.

Series I Notebooks

The first series in the collection consists of three notebooks.

• 001 – Prototype – Filled with the initial (colouring book) patterns
• 002 – Landscape – Filled with topographical maps of National Parks and Landforms

Series II Notebooks

The second series in the collection consists of a further three notebooks which were created in collaboration with other artists/designers.
