Artgecko Book Bands - Your Favourite New Sketching Companion

Sketchbooks are wonderful things. They’re a place to let your imagination roam free and a space to switch off from the world while building your creative skills.

That works perfectly when your setup is static, tucked into one dedicated space. But the moment you want to sketch on the train, head to your local park, or take your creativity on the go, keeping all your supplies in one place can quickly become a challenge.

Imagine it now, your back pack is full of loose pencils and pens, along with that bulky pencil case that takes up just that little too much room in your back pack. Next thing you know, you have run to catch the train, however in the success of getting to your seat for your journey, you are faced with a backpack of pure art supplies chaos! Now what should have been an enjoyable journey, is stained with more cleaning up than creating.

Well, not anymore!

Introducing Artgecko Book Bands! These are an easy, practical solution designed for artists who want to create anytime, anywhere. These elastic sketchbook bands feature three secure loops and slip effortlessly on and off your sketchbook. They stretch to accommodate expanding pages, while also keeping loose sheets neatly tucked inside.

Create on the go with ease

Creativity doesn’t always happen at your desk. It can strike mid journey, in a café, during a walk, or while travelling somewhere new. That’s why having portable, organised art supplies makes such a difference.

With an Artgecko Book Band on your sketchbook, you now have a compact, all-in-one creative kit. Instead of searching through your bag or carrying extra cases, your essential tools stay right where you need them, attached to your sketchbook and ready to use.

Each Book Band includes three elastic loops designed to hold a variety of art tools securely. Whether you prefer traditional or modern mediums, they adapt to your workflow.

You can use them to hold a wide variety of media types, including:

• Pencils and graphite sticks
• Fineliners and brush pens
• Alcohol markers
• Paintbrushes and longer tools
• Erasers or blending tools

It’s a flexible solution that works for illustrators, designers, students, and hobbyists alike.

The perfect fit for every sketchbook

Artgecko Book Bands come in three sizes - small, medium, and large, making them suitable for sketchbooks and pads from A5 all the way up to A2.

The elastic design allows your sketchbook to expand naturally as you fill it, without losing its secure hold. At the same time, it keeps everything neatly closed and protected when not in use.

Leave the bulky pencil case at your desk

If you’ve ever carried a full pencil case “just in case,” you’ll know how quickly it becomes unnecessary weight. Book Bands offer a more streamlined alternative as the band can be dedicated to holding your most essential tools. With these bands,  you can now travel lighter with more space in your bag, stay far more organised and reduce your set up time due to not needing for constantly rummage through your bag. It is for all these reasons that the Book Band allows you to focus more on the most important thing - opening up that sketchbook, switching your mind off from the world and getting creative.

Create more with less

There’s also something powerful about simplifying your tools. When you strip back your art materials and work with just a few essentials, you naturally start to think more creatively.

Limitations can push you to explore new techniques, make bolder decisions, and truly understand the tools you’re using. Instead of relying on endless options, you learn how to get the most out of every pencil stroke, every line, and every mark.

By keeping only your core tools within reach, Book Bands encourage a more focused, intentional way of creating. This helps you build confidence, improve your skills, and develop your own artistic style over time.

Minimally designed to optimise creativity

Beyond practicality, Book Bands are designed to complement your sketchbook rather than distract from it. Their clean, minimal look keeps your setup simple and uncluttered, whether you’re working at home or out in public. They’re easy to use, easy to remove, and built to support your creative flow without interruption.

Take your creativity anywhere

Whether you're urban sketching, travelling, attending classes, or simply capturing ideas as they come, Artgecko Book Bands make it easier to stay prepared. No more digging through bags. No more forgotten tools. Just your sketchbook, your essentials, and the freedom to create wherever inspiration strikes.
