For the first time in North America, brilliant Swedish illustrator Mattias Adolfsson’s incredibly lush sketchbook illustrations are collected in a facsimile Moleskine edition. Adolfsson, in between assignments for the New York Times, videogame design, children’s books and other major publications, spends his time filling untold Moleskines with intricate and beautifully detailed drawings of whatever strikes his fancy. From hot-rod spaceships to rocket-fueled fountain pens, from baroque robots to Richard-Scary-gone-berserk cityscapes, Adolfsson uses his imagination to create everything mad scientists world-over haven’t even begun to dream up. can be bought from amazon
