Hello,
As the title says I'm looking for assistance with finding some rare Denik sketchbooks. Due to them unfortunately discontinuing their sketchbook line, I've been doing my best to find each variation that was made for my own personal collection/use. I tried to use their layflat and other notebook types, they just don't feel the same. I have also tried a few recommended alternatives from other subreddits that ran into a similar issue, and they were ok, but for a few nonsensical personal reasons I've decided to dedicate my traditional sketches/art to that product line specifically. One reason is that, it was the first sketchbook I ever really used to draw whatever I wanted at the time, I used to have such a paralyzing anxiety about my drawings that for most of my life I never really made anything, and when I did I would end up throwing it away and constantly start over my "art journey" with a new blank book. It was a spontaneous moment I found it in the bookstore and I've been hooked ever since.
I still have my Denik sketchbooks to this day since I found them years ago, and I've found more overtime but I'm still unsure how many variations were produced or where to find them. I will do my best to list what I have so far and try to provide images. My only context clues for what I'm missing so far is the old amazon store page for them. I've combed through ebay and found what I could, and Just last week i found like 7 of them in the shop-ify store from random pages that wouldn't show up in my google search results. This recent find is what sparked this post, I imagine that there's probably a secret stash or some spot someone has been sitting on for a while and I would have no idea how to find it myself.
