Field Notes Haxley storybook with illustrations 2 pack

The illustrator and poster maker Jay Ryan from the Chicago area is an old friend. He is a craftsman with a fantastic visual style and more than just a healthy dose of imagination. For years, we have been looking for a way to collaborate with Jay for Field Notes. In October, Jay set himself the goal of creating a small ink drawing every day. These drawings revealed a story about a bear and his squirrel neighbors. We followed Jay's progress on Instagram and found the drawings irresistible. We knew they would look great in a special Field Notes edition. Jay agreed. He revealed that the bear's name is Haxley and that this story is a kind of prelude to a larger project he has been pursuing for years. We can’t wait to see that. The "Haxley" edition includes two 64-page books. The first is a "Story Book" with lined pages and 31 black-and-white drawings by Jay. You can continue Haxley's adventures or perhaps tell a completely different story of your own invention. The other book in the set is a "Sketchbook" with blank pages. We hope you find a way to fill it. Both books have a cover made of Neenah Royal Sundance Felt "Warm White" with four solid colors and a fifth glow-in-the-dark ink that illuminates under flashlight beams. They are PUR-bound and feature smooth 70# "Natural" text paper.
