MD Notebook A6 Artist Collaboration - Adrian Hogan

In celebration of MD's 15th year anniversary, the MD team invited Adrian Hogan and 14 other artists to get creative with the MD Notebook and enjoy the way you can write everywhere, even on the cover. Then they created a special-edition MD Notebooks with the artists' illustrations and writing blind embossed on the covers.

With the artists given carte blanche on an A5 MD, the original artwork is debossed on an A6 notebook.

Adrian Hogan for Midori MD

Adrian Hogan is an Australian-born, Tokyo-based illustrator. He has clients around the world, and works in a wide variety of areas, including magazines, print ads, books and storyboards. Major projects include work for POPEYE, TARZAN and BRUTUS magazines, a mural at Starbucks, Apple, and print ads for the Rugby World Cup France 2023.

About his artwork for Midori MD, Adrian Hogan shares: "My sketchbook is a place to explore ideas and record the world around me. I often draw my meals before I eat them as a way to appreciate the effort that goes into making them and almost a decade in Japan sushi is still my favourite to draw. The work I make for my clients is often based on my sketchbook work and the small ideas and observations become the direct basis for my “finished” work. MD Notebooks are so light and just the right size, I am rarely anywhere without one nearby — ready to capture inspiration!
