Are you a doodler or a defacer? You know, one of those types that once a writing implement is in hand you must leave your mark on any and every surface? Perhaps you are a street artist who doesn't quite yet have the gall to set out and bomb that spotless bench or wall? Regardless of your impulse, tagging, doodling, bombing or drawing on someone else's property can be chancy at best.

If busted by the fuzz, the repercussions for a mere act of creative expression can land you in the slammer. Reticent artists rejoice: Walls Notebook is here to alleviate the stresses and temptations of artistic malfeasance (I suppose some call it 'vandalism'). Walls Notebook is comprised of 160 crisp, clean pages featuring 80 untouched and untagged walls and surfaces in New York City. Begging for a whiff of art, the pristine facades in Walls Notebook are just the answer for the sheepish graffiti artist inside us all.
