Synopsis

A book reproducing journal pages and other visual materials that a range of artists, filmmakers, writers, and other creative people, use to capturing and foster their creative process---all loosely constituting a form of note taking; from literal notebooks to a blizzard of post-it notes to chalkboards to the marks recorded incidentally but tellingly on the walls of a sculptor's studio after casting his work. The materials and their creative methods are illustrated with several hundred photographs and drawings, with accompanying contextual material on the creative processes of these individual masters. The text components vary from subject to subject, in some cases being a profile by a curator or collaborator, in some cases an interview with the subject, in some cases text directly from the person themselves.
