Most ruled journals out there are printed with lines that run from left to right, straight across the page. Pretty standard. Very straightforward. Somewhat sober. Then there’s this Inspiration Pad, a composition book on an acid trip. Lines akimbo. This thing is high as hell.

Will you pen the next Great American Novel in this thing? Maybe not. Will you free your mind a bit, and experiment with new ways of recording your genius ideas? Yes. Yes you will. They’re currently sold out, but you’ll soon be able to buy yours here for about $US30. [Colossal]
