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


See some more of my work here, here, here and here.

Tropical Heat

We were having snow storms here in Germany the past days. So it is cold. Then today I realized that I never posted the drawing, which I drew after seeing the Alphonse Mucha exhibition. Here you go...

"During a tropical heat I am thinking about how cold it is where you are... It is beautiful here, quiet - woods of "wilderness". Alphonse Mucha

Art Trade

Lisa, whom I know from the moly_x_20 group sent me an email asking for an art trade. As there are phantastic artists participating I joined too. Basically you create one piece of art and get another piece back. It can be a little drawing, a print, a comic or a zine, a photo, a felted creation, a beaded thing... Whatever fits your niche and can be dropped in the mail within a week.

I have to send my art to Dawn. The funny thing is that the day I received the email telling me I´m supposed to send Dawn my creation, I also received the book "1000 Artist Journal Pages" of which she is the author. What a coincidence.

The letter will be off tomorrow and I hope Dawn will like it!

In case you want to join in on the fun, just let me know.

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.

Robert´s Moly_x_19

Another few Moleskine pages completed for Robert of the moly_x_19 group of the International Moleskine Exchange group.

Circles

Another few pages of my drawing journal.

Getting a Kick Out of Paper

This week I met a friend of mine after a long time. She gave me a belated birthday present: a sketchbook and different kinds of markers. This sketchbook is specially made for ink, indian ink and markers. And you know what? The pages feel better than Moleskines. (I almost had a bad conscience.) The surface is soooooooooo smooth, it feels unbelievably good. Thanks M.!
I can´t wait to get started with ink drawings in it, but I need to have an idea what to fill the book with. Any ideas?

Another Moleskine

This moly I did for someone who contacted me at flickr. He said that he really wanted to join a moleskine exchange group with me. As I have already 4 groups running and a lot of other projects going on too, I had to decline.
But I couldn´t forget his wonderful art and so we agreed on an exchange - only the two of us and without a deadline. So no pressure for this group. It took me 5 months to get the first pic drawn.
During the first scanning process a mistake occured. I like the bar code that was created.

More Molys

Last week the download of the pics from the digicam to my Mac didn´t work. Today somehow I managed to get the pics on my hard drive.

Here´s Leah´s moly "Enter the Carneval":


And Wil´s "Alphabet" moly:

Clowns in the Carneval Season (ATC)

I love them both, unfortunately I don´t have the colored one any more. I´m sure these clowns will cheer me up. It´s Carneval season here in Germany and I bet I´ll see some of the clowns out there in the streets the next days.
