Fan of Criminal Minds? Check out the journals of Mathew Gray Gubler, who plays the cute Dr. Reid. He’s been posting for years, and I’m glad his website’s finally gotten the attention it deserves. I find his sketches of co-workers during table reads especially interesting. His mind is an interesting place, to say the least!
