Here are my completed 8 pages, I just went for the sort of thing I draw in my personal sketchbooks. I usually only draw on one side of the page as the black ink shows through, so I glued some paper onto every other page.
Here's a breakdown of each of the pages:
Page 1 - The stamp from the envelope the book arrived in, mounted in a gallery and being viewed by critics.
Page 2 - A drunk naked man ruining a carpet at a party.
Page 3 - A group of chavs.
Page 4 - An advert for 'Afterpaste' toothpaste. I love drawing adverts for disgusting and/or useless products I invent.
Page 5 - A pile of random characters. I used to doodle pictures like this all the time at school.
Page 6 and 7 - A translated guide to 'The Idiots of the Internet'. Mostly inspired by the stupid comments often seen on YouTube videos.
Page 8 - The Joker. Loosely based on Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Batman villain. Thought I'd go for a change and use some colour on this one.
I had a lot of fun finishing my pages, and ended up finishing a fair few in my own Moleskine too. Hope you all enjoy your turn, and fingers crossed this one doesn't get lost.

Brilliant! Tom, you've done a great job of the first red moleskine entry! I particularly like the 'Idiots of the Internet' double page - really made me giggle - you see people writing stuff like this on YouTube and the like all the time - very funny :)
