[Kustom]

my blackbook is black, about 1 1/16 ft tall...the cover is like a suede? yeah, the pages are thick,my first pages are like a sign in for writers and krews, it also tells what art really is...i only write in there when i am confident i am gonna bust the most insane piece i can, and i only let the best writers do their stuff...i have my book passed from city to city...name:"Urban Art Vol.1"look for it in a city near you!

put a trash sheet of paper behind the one your working with and it that dont work put like 2 or 3 behind it so it just leaks on the trash sheets

half of my blackbook is half done sketches that im not happy with.

dont buy a blackbook yet.

my blackbook is filled with sketches I hate, so I do nice ones on paper and glue them in later.

my shit was iight but some jealous toy stole it while i was playin handball and i fucked his ass up but when i got it back i told him keep it cuz ***** called the numbers i had in it from the *****s i met

lately i've been using an old mostly empty coil notebook(i've got a few kickin' around, i never took notes way back in 8th). i bugged my lady to get me a real blackbook for christmas, though.

actually, i hang out with one of the uppest writers in my town. he got his blackbook from way back when confiscated by the pigs, and just got it back a few weeks ago. it was cool to see it, filled with pieces by him and a whole bunch of writer's whose work i recognize.

oh yeah, and whiteboards are A++ supermurgatroyd. get all over it.

That's pretty cool, I think I seriously need a new book though cuase my old one is crap and also pretty bad quality any suggestions?

I just use loose paper,but whatever floats your boat.

Yeah me too but i dont use just random paper.I got lots of it scooped up together.Ill never run out of paper lol

[textathief]

i just use clear writing pads and fill it with all my outlines,tags and charecters or if u want to get a really good black book buy a etcher sketch
(a etcher sketch is a childs toy where they write things with magnets)

[philmjejames77]

i have a folder and i put like cardboard in each pocket. then little flaps at the top and i just fold them over and it keeps my shit straight. and a lot of paper is in it.

[WIZDUM]

I have a small black spiral notebook which got fucked up kinda because i stepped on it and the spine part is flat.

[PaintThaStreets P.T.S]
