Lilith in my Myth Moly_x_20

Sitting sick at home, with no chance of going to bed during the past days, at least I had the chance to draw a little bit today. This is my own moly and has the theme of myths and legends. There have been some great additions by the other artists, so I´m glad, this moly is running again. Our group consists only of two members right now: Joyce and myself. And I´m having fun again with it.

The pages I drew show Lilith in a comic version. (I think she must be from Marvel.) I´ve always been fascinated by the story of Adam´s first wife.


(I just love the top picture, which was altered with an iPhone app. I guess I do need some brighter colors to draw my stuff.)

My Favorite Moly_x Exchanges

I loved to add to Steve´s moly. Somehow it is easy for me to add to his art. Look at the pic below. You almost can´t see where my drawing merges into his.

And it is similar with Samatha´s art. I really love her style and love adding my art to hers.




This was a fun one. I enjoy drawing very detailed insects or animals.

Gorey #1.  One of my favorites!


Ladies...

Gorey #2.


More ladies...


Carnival



Another great one with Samatha´s work

The mythology moleskine

And of course some Japanese details

Second Addition to Joyce´s Moly_x_20

This is my second contribution to Joyce´ moleskine* for the moleskine exchange group 20. 

It took me ages to get started with this one. I had stopped with the moly_x exchanges for a while, as I was frustrated about all the lost molys and all the demotivated group members. But we are back on track and slowly starting again. 

Marty (the founder of moly_x) has been doing some reorganizing of the groups and it seems the groups are starting with new power. Great! Thanks Marty!

*Check out Joyce´s art. Her photorealistic drawings are incredible.

Artist Of The Month

Steve Loya is an art teacher and artist living in Northern Virginia, USA. We were both members of the moly_x_19 exchange group. Check out his blogs "Go flying turtle" and "Steve Loya Art" to find his colorful and diverse work.
I enjoyed the Moleskine exchange with him. I used to continue his drawings and that was pretty easy as I like and enjoyed his style and his choice of colors. So I felt honored when he asked me whether I wanted to be the featured "artist of the month" at his blog. You can check out the Q&A here.

Here are some of the molys, where I continued the art after him. The last 3 pages are mine, the 3 before are Steve´s:

My favorite one is this the one shown below. You almost cannot see, where his art stops and mine begins.

Thanks Steve, I really enjoyed answering your questions.

Tribute To Edward Gorey (Moly_x_6)

I finally managed to scan this little moly with my illustration. It took me several days to get it right, as I´ve only got a small A4 scanner. The images have to be joined to one whole picture in Photoshop. And somehow this one wasn´t easy to join. The more I see of Edward Gorey´s art and writings the more I am hooked. There is always something new to discover in it.

I posted the lower picture to show you David´s addition. I love how the two pictures blend into each other. You see the guy at the left? The fur collar fits perfectly into David´s bushes.

Tribute to Edward Gorey Moly_X_6 (1)

Now that I received this Moleskine in the second round, I was finally able to scan the pages of my first entry. It was the first entry of the first moleskine exchange I started.
If you are feeling bored, you can have a closer look at the drawing in original size. Try to find the corpse, the abducted baby, the lizard and the dog. Good luck! ;)

Second addition to Joy Eliz´ Moly 19 (2)

This is my second contribution to Joy Eliz´ moleskine for the moleskine exchange group 19. This drawing was greatly inspired by Michelle White. More information about the Moly_X International Moleskine Exchange can be found here.

Tribute To Edward Gorey (Moly_x_6)

I finally started and completed the pages of my own moly for the moly_x_6. I had difficulties adding my own work to the existing pages as each and every page done by the other group members is great. Honestly I thought about keeping the moly and not passing it on any more - in fear of its loss. I already lost two molys in the mail, and loosing this one would make me sad. But what the heck.... it wouldn´t be fair to keep it. So I´m sending it on to Emma - of course registered. ;)

Lapin´s Moly: Collections

My favorite addition to all the molys of the moly_x_6 group I did in the past week. Lapin´s moly has the theme "Collections". While he collects lamps and David collects portraits of elder men, I collect comics. I just love comics - specially the dark and weird Asian comics. I have more to add when the moly comes around a second time.

David´s Moly

I had a hard time with David´s moly from the moly_x_6 group. I like the Octopus, but not the rest of the picture.

Finally Getting On With The Moleskines

Wow. After a long time I finally managed to get on with some of the molys. I just had 8 molys from 4 groups lying around and didn´t really know where to start. As I had so many from the moly_x_6 group, I did all of them together and sent off 3 to Emma in Australia last week. Emma, your moly is completed now.

Comic Moleskine (Moly_x_19)

Here is another set of pictures from my vacation. The zombies are inspired by MATTY8080. I love his zombies and have bought quite a few pics from him.

Myth-Moly (Moly_x_20)

Here are finally the pictures of my addition to the myth-moly. I drew this during my vacation where I didn´t have access to a scanner before passing the moly on. Thanks Joyce for sending me the scans. The other pics are from my camera.
