Five and a Half is a Brooklyn-based bookmaking and design studio that I started in the spring of 2006, when I began creating a line of journals that are functional, lightweight, and made with sustainable materials.
Each journal is filled with pages of sugarcane fiber and postconsumer recycled paper, a textweight surface that is ideal for writing, drawing, and painting, while leaving the planet's dwindling supply of trees untouched. There are useful details present in each journal ~ an inner pocket for looseleaf notes, and a perfect-bound spine so that each book opens flat for writing and drawing across the pages. The cover designs are made in limited editions, featuring original illustrations or photography.
Made with writers, illustrators, artist and designers in mind, Five and a Half handmade journals are now available in select boutiques and design stores across the U.S., and have been shipped to places all over the world.
