Edition #25 Notes
Designed in collaboration with Gustavo Jaimes, a tattoo and visual artist from Anaheim, California. Gus grew up next door to Disneyland, an inspiration that continues to show through with joy in his work. This edition was named in honor of Gus, his friendship, and family. I am always in awe of his kindness and creativity, and get as much inspiration from his designs and photography as I do from his actions.
The design for Jaimes was created from Gus's tattoo flash sheets, and printed onto a thick pleather material that looks and feels like the real thing.
You can catch Gus in a weekly hangout with VGHC's Hammer Time podcast, hear his rolling laughter, and gather some positive energy to start your weekend every single week.
(Also available in Junior size)
Fray level: None
Most Dapper Notes covers are made using fabric, which naturally frays with use. Each material behaves differently, and this meter will help you gauge how much fraying to expect from your notebook. Read more about fabric covers
