Field Notes Haxley 64 Page Story Book and Sketch Book Two Pack

Chicago-area illustrator/postermaker Jay Ryan has great visual style and more than his fair share of imagination, and you can see tons of his work at The Bird Machine. Jay has collaborated with Field Notes providing his ink illustrations of the story of Haxley the bear and his squirrel neighbors, a preamble to a larger project in the works.

The “Haxley” edition includes two 64-page books. The first is a “Story Book,” featuring ruled pages alongside Jay’s 31 black-and-white drawings. You can expand on Haxley’s adventure, or, just maybe, recount a completely different journey, one you make yourself.

The other book in the 2-Pack is a “Sketch Book” with blank pages. We trust you can find a way to fill that one up.

Both books feature Neenah Royal Sundance Felt “Warm White” covers with four spot colors and a fifth-glow-in-the-dark ink, illuminating the flashlight beams. They’re PUR-bound with Domtar Cougar smooth 70# “Natural” text paper inside.
