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.
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.
PDX POP NOW! is a music festival that takes place in Portland each summer. We're proud to donate Scout Books to this homegrown festival each year. This year's design features a photograph by Melani Brown.
Lovely Sweet William is the product of two sisters, one from New Zealand and one from Australia, who, despite the distance, still make the effort to bring their love of all things handmade together. Being 100% recycled, Scout Books fit in perfectly with their credo. They also have some really beautiful art prints and the most adorable mini dolls that live in matchbox houses! So cute.
How cool is this? Phish Scout Books. Get yourself on over to the Phish Dry Goods shop and pick up your very own tour journal. As the experts say, they are the perfect size to "keep track of setlists, show notes, directions to your hotel, or anything else you want to be able to remember the next morning." Perfect.
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!

We had a blast participating in the Renegade Craft Fair this year and thought all you interested people would love to see some of the rad photos we took while we were there. Thanks to those of you who stopped by our booth! As mentioned before, this year we put on the first ever Scout Books Art Market where the notebooks were customized by loads of super talented artists, illustrators and designers.
Every day this week, we’ll share a new Scout Book filled with creative goodness from the members of Chicago collaborative The Post Family. Awesome!

We very excited that he took the time to fill this Scout Book so expertly with collage work. We even see some letterpress bits and pieces in there!

Formerly known as Polychrome San Francisco, Standard Studio has launched its new identity and website, and included in the new launch is this fantastic Scout Book.
Standard is a small firm whose members share a common point of view and a common inspiration in utilitarian design. This Scout Book is the culmination of all these things. It was inspired by an old WWII canvas bag with the words “bag for inserting dies and No. 4 grommets” on the front which they kindly provided a photo of.
Standard loved the idea of applying the same approach to their books, thus the copy on their Scout Book. The word is that the books have already been a big hit.

These Portland Bingo Cards come to us from the super-talented Bishop Lennon and Amy Ruppel. Every city should have Bingo cards; however, I think most Portlanders would agree that none would be as awesome as these. I can just imagine loading up a car full of people to go driving around, shouting out all the Portland-y things you find while everyone hangs their flailing limbs out of the rolled-down windows. Thanks to Amy Ruppel for providing the great photos you see here. The cards turned out fantastic!
The architect of this building kept the Goodwill vision in mind when constructing the facility, and used design schemes which compliment the extent of our community involvement.
This three story building is called the Goodwill Community Center and is home to administrative staff, Workforce Development Services, Computer Works store and the Norwood retail store.
The facility contains over 96,000 feet of working space. The third story is roughly 25,000 square feet and it is currently available for build out.

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!
