The scanner ate my paper. I was going to post earlier to say that I’m not real happy w/ the paper in my second Moleskine, the purple one where I cut out the folders and glued in the 3 small Moleskine Cahiers; the paper is REALLY thin compared to the regular Moleskine sketchbook. I thought "Oh well, don’t be a whiner". So I figured I’d just draw on the right-side of the paper, leaving the left side blank. Then I went to scan in my artwork today, and the first thing that happened is that the drawing on the next page was showing through the thin paper. So when I went to RE-SCAN it, the super-thin paper got in-between the glass and the plastic edge. It would NOT come out and no matter HOW careful I was, it would not slide back out, resulting in this (below) as well as paper permanently stuck in the scanner’s edge. I hope HOPE HOPE this does no affect the scanner. I really like this scanner. Crap!
So what next. Maybe just use my hacked moleskine for notes instead (what a waste). Ugh. What to do. I mean, I HAVE other Moleskines, including the new one I got as a gift on Wednesday.



I usually draw in a book with really thin paper, a notebook from IKEA. When I scan something I just take a sheet of white hard paper (that I keep around my scanner for this reason) and stick between the page I want to scan and the next one (If I have drawn something there).
