com gathered the sketches of Guillermo del Toro from various sources, and the result is fascinating. But in a manner, the idea of the journal is less about the actual professional work, and more about the personal work. Going out there, I’m looking for what could be found, what could be discovered, beneath that surface.

Guillermo del Toro, Author: Guillermo del Toro is the acclaimed director of The Shape of Water, Pan’s Labyrinth, Pacific Rim, and Crimson Peak. What I am interested in is the relationship between the concept of meditating on the doing — the making — the agenda setting, which becomes a kind of battle to get to the idea — the heart of the ideal that lies deeper in that proposition. Late in 2013, del Toro released a volu­mi­nous book, enti­tled Cab­i­net of Curiosi­ties: My Note­books, Col­lec­tions, and Oth­er Obses­sions. The delight is enhanced by the character of his observations — if you’ve ever studied any of his films with his commentary in play — he’s got a great sense of humor. As he explains in the video above, the 256-page hard­cov­er is a selec­tion from his note­books, where the direc­tor devel­oped many of the mon­strosi­ties we’ve seen on screen.Similar in design to del Toro's leather-bound volumes, this sketchbook features an inspirational message from the director along with selected examples of his incredible art.
