Moleskine notebooks are usually used by people to write, sketch and paint in, and thereby express and challenge their creativity. Now Moleskine came up with the idea to expand the artistic level of the brand, by making the black notebook an art piece. They recently launched an online community for Moleskine users to share and sell their designs, called Artist Marketplace.

Great artists who used to have a black notebook were Vincent Van Gogh, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso and Ernest Hemingway. So chances are when you buy a designed Moleskine, you’re the owner of an artpiece from the next big artist. Here are some of our favourite designs.
