# Mixed-Media Moleskines David Fullarton Creates 'Pictures With Words on Them' By Meghan Young | Published 2009-12-30 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-fullarton References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Moleskine/226698) & [davidfullarton](http://www.davidfullarton.com/) I’ve always been a fan of those creative diaries that artsy yet troubled teenagers have in movies and television shows; ones like David Fullarton’s moleskine works. Actually, I tried to keep one myself—unfortunately, I conveniently forgot that some artistic talent was necessary. Taking the classic, quality notebook that he at one point despised, David Fullarton filled it with these mixed-media pieces of comedic art. Check out the gallery above and I’m sure you’ll be tempted to imitate David Fullarton’s work as well. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Mixed-media Art:** Exploring the combination of different artistic mediums in creating unique and visually engaging artwork, opening opportunities for collaborations and new forms of artistic expression. - **Creative Journals:** The resurgence of interest in creative diaries and journals as a means of self-expression and artistic exploration, leading to opportunities for innovative journaling tools and accessories. - **Comedic Art:** The use of humor and satire in visual art, creating opportunities for artists to challenge societal norms, instigate conversations, and bring joy through their artwork. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art Supplies:** The demand for diverse art materials and tools to support mixed-media art, creating opportunities for manufacturers and retailers to introduce specialized products. - **Stationery:** The growing market for unique and customizable journals and notebooks, calling for stationery companies to offer innovative designs and features. - **Art Galleries:** The rise of mixed-media and comedic artwork in galleries, providing platforms for emerging artists and curators to showcase and sell their work, while also engaging with a broader audience seeking innovative and thought-provoking art. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Lunar New Year-Inspired Noteboooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3-artists-3-countries.md) - [Pleated Paper Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moleskine-and-issey-miyake.md) - [Pottery-Inspired Artful Notebooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kintsugi-art.md) - [Clinical Bed Notebooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hospital-bed-notebook.md) - [Cheekily Creative Bookmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illustrated-bookmarks.md) - [Collectible Creative Stationery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moleskine-x-blackpink.md) - [Elegant Analog Note Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/note-taking-kit.md) - [Imitation Book Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/novel-bookwallets.md) - [Art Doodle-Collaborative Napkins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tissue-box-collection.md)
