We’re nearing September, and that means that we’re just a couple of days away from Pinkghost‘s release of their first Chubby Books Artist Series. I remember spotting a sneak peak of their project on twitter, and was jumping for joy when I recognized the artists they were working with. Now, with their big reveal, my only question is, how many can I afford?!!

I have an obsession with books, journals, calendars, sketchbooks, and the list just keeps going. On top of my obsession, I’m a huge fan of both Julie West and 64Colors, and have only recently come to love Helena Garcia (only because I wasn’t familiar with her works before). I’ve compiled all the pictures that are currently on PinkGhost’s site, for your convenience. Hit the jump to see the gallery of photos and some of my favorites!

Since each book comes with 10 postcards inside them, I’m really looking forward to owning some of Julie’s. My friend Shakty recently sent me one she picked up at SDCC, and I love it.  I see she’s turned a few of the original paintings I’ve seen in person at her Sickly Sweet show at MPH. Her females are some of my favorites.

I’m also really loving that the book doesn’t only contain lined pages, but it’s got 150 blank pages for sketches. I wonder how thick the sketching section will be since most of the sketches I get from artists are done in permanent marker that bleeds through the pages.

And the best part, it’s a chubby book full of your favorite characters, with areas to write and sketch, and they’ll only be $21.95!! I’ll most likely be getting all of them, how ’bout you guys? Are you planning on buying some? And who do you think will be in series 2? Or, better yet, who would you recommend for series 2? I’m already thinking maybe Kathie Olivas?
