Julius Hand Painted Notebooks: Ruled or Blank

The paint job on this one is genuinely unique—mine has this bold orange and teal combo that looks different depending on the light. I've been using it for daily notes and the paper takes pen ink without bleeding, plus the spiral coil keeps pages from snagging when I flip back and forth.

The spiral binding lays completely flat so I can actually write near the edge of the page without wrestling the notebook. The paint strokes on my cover are uneven in the best way, like a tiny original piece of art sitting on my desk.

I’m a little obsessed with how each cover is genuinely one-of-a-kind—the bold shapes and colors make it feel more like tiny wall art than a notebook. The spiral binding keeps pages flat enough for writing, and the hand-painted texture adds a nice tactile touch.
