Happy Valentine’s Day!

Valentine’s Day is the prettiest holiday and seemed like the perfect occasion to share
one of my new notebook designs.

Alex Perlin I Heart You

This fall, when I was looking around for back-to-school notebooks, I had trouble finding any
good looking, environmentally-friendly options. So I created this mini collection of fashion
illustrated notebooks to fill this gap. The books are printed on FSC Certified papers and are
designed to produce as little paper waste as possible when they are assembled. They have
72 pages and a durable metal binding. And best of all, the notebooks fit easily in an average
sized purse.

Beyond these features, working on these books gave me the chance to play around with a
different style of illustration. Here are a couple of the other illustrated covers.

Aquarius, Happy Birth-Month to You

Happy Birthday Aquarius

Happy Birthday Aquarius! Everyone loves a makeover, (especially at this cold, wintry time of
year). So for your birthday this year Aquarius, a makeover is exactly what you’re going to get!

Here she is in her everyday look. You can see that Aquarius is very intelligent. She’s a
compassionate leader and she really cares about the environment. But she has a glamorous
side too.

The new look was inspired by a few of my favorite Aquarian friends. They are all fun,
charismatic, talented people and a couple of them are also great singers. (Some are not
so great.) Whatever your talents are, have a great birthday!
