A notebooking obsessive whose sketches, text and calligraphic diagrams have become a way to record the thoughts and feeling on his daily travels, Jose Naranja possesses quite the imagination – not to mention talented eye for detail.
After spending 13 years intricately doodling in the same Moleskine notebooks, he decided to offer a new life to his art. Developing his own notebooks – sold in limited quantities via his website – the array of hand drawn maps, plans of his dream studio, random curiosities, exotic stamps and travel itineraries now find a place on the pages of a journal crafted by the hand of their own creator. Inspired by his constant travels, Naranja’s work is a beautiful example of a man letting his imagination run wild. Follow on Instagram.
