David WellsCurious - those who buy handmade items, what would you pay for a small notebook with a custom drawing on the cover like the ones pictured?
(Background: Field Notes is a Chicago company that produces limited edition notebooks that some collectors pay lots of $ for. I made these three as a test run to see if they’d be interested, but no takers. :/
I’d like to sell something like this online, but even though I’m fairly prolific and can draw quite rapidly, I’m not sure if people would be interested in paying what I’d need to charge for the time I put into them.
Oh yeah, and I’m also fishing for compliments. Just a few.

@MisterWells The more the more actually handmade (creative!) work someone put into it. I wonder what in this notebook was handmade .... E.g. is each cover hand drawn or is it a repetitive print etc.
@miklo everything is hand-drawn by me except for the lettering*! Each one took me a couple of hours to draw, and the designs carry over to the back.
(*Field Notes makes a big deal about using FUTURA BOLD as part of their branding. While I enjoyed the challenge of making my work fit in with their cover, I’d use some kind of plain covered notebook if I made them for the general public.)
Jason Evangelho 🐧🎒@MisterWells I would absolutely buy them for my wife!
@killyourfm ah, but would you buy them at $50 apiece for your wife? :D :D
(Or, more realistically, since I have them around and they're not going anywhere, PM me a reasonable price? I could put them up onto my KoFi store and then they could be yours!)
(umm, hers!)
Steve Heller@MisterWells these but in a brand that works well with fountain pen inks would be amazing.
@hellerphant thanks! Moleskine and a few other companies do some that have good nib feel and no bleedthrough, so that would be an option.
sparseMatrix ✅✅✅ 📻I've often wondered if there were a market for handmade notebooks.
I love making them, I've made a few for myself.
ElizabethI do love a good notebook with a pleasing cover.
My current notebook is $10 (Oasis A5). I’d potentially pay $15-20 for that notebook with good cover. However, I’m just as likely to buy the plain notebook and put a fun $5 sticker on it.
