Jesse Hora is an art director, an illustrator and an Michigan native. He filled these Scout Books with fun, funky sketches and smart illustrations. A super sweet ongoing illustration project of his is Athlete Objects, in which he creates his interpretations of 1980s and 1990s athletes based off of their names, his childhood memories, and their Wikipedia entries. Pretty fresh!

Jess Smart Smiley is an artist and illustrator based in the hills of Utah. He just self-published a comic book called A Map In The Dirt, and made these Scout Books to coincide with the release of his publication. The books are graced with a noble fox and a smattering of plant and animal materials, rendered in Smiley’s delicate line work.
We are really loving these metallic-gold-and-black designs by Portland-based Ada Mayer. In addition to being a skilled designer, she has an accessories and jewelry line called Immortal.
Everything she makes is so beautiful!
These Scout Books are inspired by the fantasy world created by HP Lovecraft. Featuring seals for Misatonic University expeditions, they are the brainchild of both Lovecraft AND Propnomicon.

Vance Reeser makes animated films, creates images, crafts websites, and writes a blog. He so expertly filled up this Scout Book with some amazing character sketches–and a collage treat at the end. Not to mention the first time we've ever seen the Scout Book used as a mask! Bravo, bravo Vance! Great innovation. Great sketches.
Find Vance's work here, on his website. One project we're particularly intrigued by is a short animated film Vance is creating called the Beast of Black Lake. He used Kickstarter to fund the project but is still accepting backers to help propel the project towards completion.
We're pretty sure we'll be seeing loads of great stuff from Vance in the near future.

Java City is a California-based coffee company founded on principles of respect for community and environment.
They created these bold Scout Books as part of a recent giveaway promotional. Fantastic!
Corey Thompson makes art, does graphic design, and writes an awesome blog called Super Duper.
He fills Scout Books like no one else we know; glimpse his awesome filled pocket notebooks over on his portfolio site.
Will Bryant is a graphic designer and illustrator extraordinaire! Based in Austin, Texas, Will makes things because he gets sad if he doesn't. His work is playful, fun, and always bright. He filled up a DIY Scout Book (Cover included!) in ONE DAY. Seriously. One day. A study in patterns. Sweet!
We recently conducted an interview with the fabulous 16 Sparrows. Read the interview and peep more photos here!

Josh Shalek is a comic-strip-writing, Oregonian transplant from the Southwest who uses his background as inspiration for the set his comic book “Welcome to Falling Rock National Park”. Personally, I love anything that personifies animals: giant lizards wearing clothes, squirrels with glasses, talking cats, owls with mustaches… and this comic book has them all!

Corey Thompson fills Scout Books with a regularity that puts me to shame. Sure, I go through a few a month, but my to-do lists and notes are hardly as inspiring as his sweet, sweet sketches. Corey posts filled-up Scout Books to his site regularly, so check there often for pocket-sized creativity.
