Review of Sketchbook as seen on PEREZ HILTON’S Coco Perez blog: We’re Sketchy
Review: This is pretty cool!
We’ve just received a copy of the premier issue of Sketchbook Magazine, a London-based quarterly which aims to shed light on up-and-coming talents in the world of fashion and design worldwide. The magazine is unique, however, in that it is comprised of original Sketchbook drawings and graphics with exclusive interviews and stories.
Their first issue is The Fashion Blogger Issue: “I Blog Therefore I Am,” and in it, they feature yours truly in a six page spread!!
We think this is a really cool concept that they’ve put together, and not just because they made mention of lil’ old Perez. The idea of beautifully drawn sketches combined with interviews and exclusives is really fun and fresh.

Title: Sketchbook Magazine The Blogger Issue as seen on DIANE PERNET’S Blog A Shaded View on Fashion
Review:
The London based independent magazine, SKETCHBOOK, showcasing new creative talents in fashion , design and culture around the planet has launched its first edition, The Blogger Issue, “I blog therefore I am”. I just saw it and really enjoyed it even though I over-reacted a bit when I saw the illustration of me, which I thought made me look about 110 years old,. Beyond that outburst of vanity, I am very happy to be a part of this new publication.

Title: Sketchtastic (As seen on our Fashion Editor’s KRISTIN KNOX’S blog- The Clothes Whisperer)
Review:
If Vogue’s November “More Dash than Cash” issue has left your monthly hunkering for fashion editorial somewhat less than satisfied (I do concede, the DIY shoots of rubber gloves and trash bags was fantastic, but the further glorification of “Dash Cash Pin-Ups” including Agy, Alexa and the Geldof girls was hardly inspirational), enter Sketchbook Magazine, a new independent quarterly, to the rescue.
The brainchild of my dear and wildly multi-talented friend, Wafa Al Obaidat,
Sketchbook is a new quarterly magazine that showcases established and emerging creative talents in fashion, design and culture featuring original sketchbook graphics. The juxtaposition of beautiful and quirky illustrations against photography within the features (exclusive interviews, etc), is a truly fresh approach to editorial and brings a touch of the personal back to an increasingly digitally impersonal industry.
