Moving

2011-05-13T14:21:00.000-07:00

Hello ladies,

I am moving to a new place, so please do not send anything to my old address. I will give you my new mailing address if you email me personally for it.

Draw on!

My Entry in Laura's Book

2011-05-02T14:12:00.000-07:00

Hey girls!

I finally, finally, finished my entry in Laura's book! :-) Sorry for taking so long this round. I have already sent it out to Samantha so this wouldn't take up more time.

Hope you like it Laura! Sorry if the girl kind of gives you nightmares. She turned out a lot creepier than I envisioned.
X Anna

My entry in Anna Denise's book

2011-04-30T08:44:00.000-07:00

At long last, the ban on Blogger in Turkey has been lifted, so here is the drawing I did in Anna's book— which preceded Emma's amazing entry below. It was a minimalist kind of drawing for me, and I'm still not quite sure how I feel about it. I do hope you like it Anna Denise!

A moleskine that went on another plane.

2011-04-19T09:32:00.000-07:00

This moleskine travelled in style this time. It was in economy. Nice.
I finally finished my houses yesterday, hi-jacked the mother-in-law's scanner, et voila!
I will be sending this one on this week to Laura, it shouldn't take too long from France to Spain.
I love our little group!

Update

2011-03-24T07:31:00.000-07:00

Hey girls,

I figured with the sun shining and all of nature being reborn, it was time for an update. Here's a short overview on what I know about the books.

Anna's book was finished by Samantha in February.
Emma, did you receive it yet?

Samantha's book was finished by Emma in November.
Laura, did you receive it?

Emma's book was finished by Laura in October.
I did not receive it yet. Laura, did you send it out?

I still have Laura's book and you're all allowed to send me evil hatemail because I've been hoarding it. I promise to work on it this week.

Let's keep this awesome little group going! Love you girls!
Anna Denise

Samantha's Red Black & White easily rubs off on me...

2010-11-09T21:34:00.001-08:00

I am feeling less freaked out, more time available to me... all good.
I'll be sending this off to Laura this week (if I can't help myself by adding to it).

Finally!

2010-09-13T14:51:00.000-07:00

Hello there girls!

First off, I must apologize. Starting out in my book took for-ever. I pasted in about 3 layers of paper because I kept feeling so uninspired and nothing good came from it. Still not too happy with my entry, but it has the urban vibe I was going for, so this'll have to do. It's on it's way to Samantha's now!

Love, AnnaDenise

Phew!

2010-06-06T06:23:00.000-07:00

I received Laura's Moly in the mail yesterday afternoon! Almost done with my own book, which I will send out first before getting to Laura's book!

<3 Love, Anna Denise

Ready red

2010-03-15T12:33:00.001-07:00

Here's my entry!
I used pencil, India ink, acrylics, Prismacolors and white nail polish.
It was frustrating me for a while, but I'm pretty happy with the outcome.

I'm thinking about perhaps having a theme...

What say you ladies— are we in?

AnnaDenise's book finished

2009-07-24T05:57:00.000-07:00

Hello ladies!

I finished my own book today with this entry. I am currently editing a little video I shot of the book which I will put up here asap of course.

The book is just stunning. I am so glad to have it so I can look at it and show everyone what amazing artists I've worked with and will work with again! Yay! Thank you all so very much. I am honored to be a part of this group!

Love, Anna Denise

Round Two

2009-07-20T12:27:00.000-07:00

When all the Mollies are complete and the images posted, what say you ladies to changing the rotation for round two? Any thoughts? Maybe we can spice up the banner too for a fresh look?

I feel so lucky to be part of such a talented and fun group of artists. This group has gone so smoothly too, and the artwork has been outstanding. I'm really excited about continuing our project!

My finished Moly

2009-07-17T02:08:00.001-07:00

Thank you so much Anna, Emma and Laura! I absolutely love my book. I can't believe this little Moleskine has been travelling for a little over a year and has been to six different countries.

finished work

2009-06-19T23:04:00.001-07:00

I have finished your moleskine at last, Samantha!

2009-03-13T07:53:00.000-07:00

What do I do with this beautiful Moly? It's absolutely stunning— the colours and energy are out of this world. Once I figure out what to draw or paint, this lovely book will be on its final voyage home to Anna Denise who will complete the last pages.

Then we'll start all over again with new books.

So I'm going to eat my salted sour apple and sip some tea while I think about what to add to this beautiful piece of work. This exchange has been such an exciting and fun experience, I'm looking forward to MX13 Part II.

Pigeons for Emma

2009-02-08T10:03:00.000-08:00

I finished my last entry in Emma's book today— I wanted to draw something playful, and was inspired by this little guy whom I fell in love with:

He's a terracotta bird from Anatolia, the Asian part of Turkey. He reminded me of one of Emma's fantastic beasts. I didn't intend to have both entries depict me running of with flying animals, but there you have it. It's something I do often :)

Samantha's Moleskine, almost done!

2009-01-24T23:35:00.000-08:00

This morning before setting off to work, I finished my second entry in Samantha's Moleskine. It is a wonderful moleskine, it is very beautiful, if I do say so myself being a part of it.

me too, I got something in the mail yesterday...

2009-01-14T15:32:00.001-08:00

... with Ann-D's inspired drawing on the envelope too.

In the Mail today

2009-01-13T14:13:00.001-08:00

And is it spectacular!

Happy 2009

2009-01-08T00:59:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year, Ladies!
I'm excited about what this new year will bring to the exchange. Before I left SF I stocked up on Japanese Mollies, so once this round is complete, I'm ready to start a new one with you. I love our little group.

so... I finally finished it

2008-12-08T03:56:00.001-08:00

I finally finished Laura's Moleskine. I was obviously inspired by Samantha's camel...
sending it off to you this week. Then your book will be home. There are only 3 panels left.

Finally: AnnaDenise's entry in Samantha's Moly!

2008-11-27T12:57:00.001-08:00

I'm sorry this has taken me so long. I had started working on my entry in Samantha's book ages ago, but I when I wanted to draw in the lines with my marker, I noticed it had dried out to a point where I was afraid to mess up my entire entry. Anyways, it's done, and I'm quite happy with it. The colors on the scan are a little off, but they're the same as in my earlier entry (see here).

Samantha's book looks fantastic. The large scan really is amazing, check out the large version [here].

AnnaDenise in Laura's Moly - Round 2

2008-11-05T13:50:00.000-08:00

Today I finished my entry in Laura's book. I was feeling pretty pleased with myself, until I scanned the thing and noticed I got the girl's body all wrong and the perspective messed up. I hope my entry is not too 'empty' but I felt like today was a day of change ;-) and I'd just go ahead and try something different.

...And a camel

2008-10-22T13:32:00.000-07:00

Here's my final entry in Laura's book, I was feeling a little nostalgic:

2008-10-21T22:49:00.000-07:00

I got to meet the lovely and talented Anna Denise today! Here we are at Café de la Presse in San Francisco, where I am giving Laura's Moleskine to Anna.

Anna, I had so much fun! Come back anytime— Emma and Laura, if you find yourself in SF, let me know!

Greetings from SF

2008-09-18T15:09:00.000-07:00

I took this yesterday afternoon on a walk.
This is a sort of online-postcard to you talented artists from me.
Hello!

OK, done!

2008-09-16T10:13:00.001-07:00

So, it just needs a little spray of protective varnish, and it is off to Laura this week.
Look out for it Laura!

I have almost finished

2008-09-16T08:19:00.000-07:00

I have been thinking about this moleskine for over a week after staring at Ann-D's bees.
I believe I have almost finished. I hope that you are all happy to continue, and to send to me in Australia as well! Show you the finished result soon.
Oh, my desk is a mess! I am just pushing everything in my way to the end at the moment, I hope it doesn't fall off before I clean it up!

Sign-in

2008-09-02T02:11:00.000-07:00

I wanted to let you all know that I made a little space on the envelope of my Moly for all of you to write your names and something that is a favourite of yours. Candy, animal, colour, music, philosopher, shampoo— anything.

Here's my entry in Emma's moly - it's just bees, basically. I don't know what got into me, cause it was a lot of work...

But I think it works nicely with the other entries:

Thank you!

2008-07-29T12:40:00.000-07:00

Yesterday my Moly came home, and the work is just stunning.
Thank you all for your beautiful work, your commitment and your enthusiasm. Every piece is so unique and impressive. I am now trying to think of what to draw in it for round two! I'm very excited about sending it round again.

I feel better now, really!

2008-07-27T06:53:00.000-07:00

I love working on the Moly exchanges, this is our little stream train of a Moleskine that belongs to Ann-D. I hope you like it Ann!

you know how long I've had this moleskine in my possession?

2008-07-26T12:54:00.001-07:00

Today I received Ann-D's Moleskines for X-13 and the first Portrait Party... I thought I had an idea for the portrait party, but in fact, this came out instead... strange, there are monkeys in there. I sat at my desk nearly all day working madly on all the things I have wanted to do for a week. I feel better now.

This is obviously not finished.

You can't yet see my Kookaburra, but he is there.

Lucky me!

2008-06-20T18:34:00.001-07:00

I got Emma's book today from Laura, and wow— the colours are just incredible! The reds are divine. I also got Marty's amazing book from Moly-X29. Seeing both of these Mollies in person is unbelievable. I'm going to be really busy.

First rotation complete...

2008-06-19T02:25:00.001-07:00

...Once Anna receives it!
Here's my entry in Anna's book. I wanted to carry over the red and birds from the beautiful previous entries. I was originally going to draw a city skyline below her feet on that curved artery, but decided not to at the last minute. I hope you like it, Anna— your book will be on its way home to you tomorrow.

2008-06-05T11:09:00.000-07:00

I decided to go with animals as well, since Laura started with cats and Samantha continued with birds. I don't have any pets, but I love ants! They're so smart and I study them often. So, here we go. I think the scan didn't bring out the image very well, but it's kind of hard to scan these books on my tiny little scanner :-)

So here's a picture of the entire book! Nice, eh?

My man asked me today what I "get" for doing a Moleskine exchange.
Dear me, he was grumpy yesterday!

I was SO nervous getting started with this one - Samantha's work is just perfect, just amazing. But, I figured I might as well get used to it - working on an exchange with all you fabulous artists!

So, here's my first layer of color. I'm recording the whole thing, so I'll have a video to show you girls once I'm done!

OMG! I received Samantha's Moleskine this afternoon! I can't believe it got here so quickly!!!

IT"S AMAZING! The drawings are even better in person - just amazing. Hooray!!! I am so exited! Oh and I was totally exited with the San Francisco postcard! SF is my favorite city! (I met my boyfriend while at UC Berkeley)

2008-04-22T18:11:00.000-07:00

can't wait to see what will be done with it!

I would love it if everyone could write their names, the materials used and the date you finished your entry on the back of your piece. Thanks :)

Hello girls!

I finished my entry into my Moly today!

I have decided not to give this book a theme, I'm interested to see what you come up with in response to my drawing! One request: Please leave your name and the date you finished your entry in my book, somewhere near your entry!

Perhaps Emma can send me her address so I can send it to her as soon as possible and get this thing going!

Love, Anna

Work in Progress...

Hello girls!

I did the drawing in my book and am about to add color - but just wanted to give you guys a preview. I'm not sure whether I'm going to do a theme for this book. I did this drawing with a theme in mind, but I also like the idea of seeing what you come up with in reaction to my work.

Well, as soon as I'm finished I'll let you know!
Cheers!

I worked like a bandit today on all my work. Good start to the week.
I don't think this is exactly finished, but it is almost there, the feeling is there.

actually I couldn't help myself either...

I have done more than this in fact, but, this is a little teaser for the moment.
I have decided not to have a theme either.

So I decided that I'm against having a theme for my book— I'd rather leave the pages open to each artist's imagination, and I am hoping the artwork will flow into each other.

Hi there!

I had a little trouble finding my Japanese folding Molly, so I bought this one from a stationery store that was using it as a floor model. It's a little weathered, but has a lot of character. A week later, I rediscovered a forgotten art store only to find loads of them!

I'm thrilled about our group and can't wait to get started.
