February 2018 Roundup

I did not manage to review many books this month because I spent a lot of time reviewing products that were sent to me and were piling up.

Next month, my wife will be giving birth to our daughter so I'm guessing I'll be really stretched for time. And after the baby is delivered, I'll be moving to a new place to stay. Hopefully things can get settled down within two months so that I can get back to putting out more reviews.

My favourite books for February at the three sketchbooks from publisher Gustavo Gili. The books are Hola, Miró!!! A Travel Sketch Journal, Barcelona Rooftops and The Alhambra Sketchbook.

Youtube

Not sure if you've noticed, but I've moved from putting out daily videos to putting out videos every one and a half days. After the baby arrives, it will be a video every two days. I've already recorded around 15 videos in advanced so that should last me for a month.
