Cool sketchbook. Love Jim Woodring, one of the greatest.
>Also, any other uncommon creative sketchbook ideas you guys know about?
Don't know how uncommon it is, but I tend to use dot grid sketchbooks when studying from books, that way I can make notes. It also makes it easier to set up any kind of grid (without the distracting lines of a full-line grid). I also plan to start using them to design lettering/logos for my work.
