An illustrator, designer and children’s book author, Comstock’s love of children’s literature manifests in these charming illustrations from our Retro Pop! series. Comstock spent over a decade in advertising, lending him his retro sensibilities, before taking up illustration full-time. His work has a special and distinct look, which has led to collaborations with Land of Nod and Hallmark, among others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComstock was encouraged to pursue a career in the arts after showing talent in an illustration class he took in college. Now living in Austin, Texas, his inspiration is drawn from his background in advertising and his colourful passion for music. A collector of old jazz albums, Comstock is richly inspired by music and the connection he has found in children’s literature. He has recently released his first children’s book, \u003cem\u003eCharlie Piechart and the Case of the Missing Pizza Slice,\u003c\/em\u003e with Marilyn Sadler.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing inspiration from their charming and retro characteristics, we’ve named the designs in this Retro Pop! series after some of our favourite songs from the 1950s and ’60s. Comstock’s whimsical design, \u003cem\u003eRobot Friends,\u003c\/em\u003e is reimagined as our Come Together journal cover. Embodying the spirit of Comstock’s playful and friendly pop art, we hope this design allows the same joy and playful spirit to come together in your world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLearn more about the artist behind Retro Pop! from our interview with Eric Comstock on the Endpaper Blog.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal artwork:\u003c\/strong\u003e Robot Friends by Eric Comstock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Contemporary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mini – 95 × 140 × 12 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterior:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lined\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 208 (104 sheets)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePaper:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 gsm acid-free smooth paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCover:\u003c\/strong\u003e Softback flexi (flexible cover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smyth sewn – lies flat and stays durable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge printing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rounded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePouch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Back cover pouch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Come Together\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Retro Pop!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSatin ribbon marker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecorative printed cover paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEndpaper with credit and copyright information as well as historical background for the original artwork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThreaded stitching and glue, as needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcid-free paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMemento pouch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 126 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct code:\u003c\/strong\u003e FB6488-6 | \u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781439764886\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Paperblanks\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaperblanks works with museums, libraries, galleries and artists around the world to faithfully reproduce remarkable artwork, historic bindings and treasured manuscripts, and every notebook is crafted with the same attention to detail, from the paper inside to the finish of the cover.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paperblanks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54386117181768,"sku":"FB6488-6","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/5114\/5032\/files\/9781439764886_FrontHighRes.png?v=1792778696","url":"https:\/\/shop.penandpaper.co.uk\/products\/paperblanks-come-together-mini-softback-flexi-journal-lined-208-pages-fb6488-6","provider":"The Pen and Paper Stationery Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
