work in progress

Hi!
It's a bit quiet here, so I'm posting a work in progress image of what I have done so far. I chose to illustrate the tale "The girl without hands" as my first entry. I should be done by the end of this week.

ello ello!!!!

Hey guys,
I haven't started my moly yet, but i think i might be going with the story "the three gold hairs of the devil" There is alot going on in the story and I think it might be nice to draw it out. My other choice is " the sea hare".. As you can see, there are way too many choices to choose from with these tales. How is everyone doing?

Welcome to moly_x_56! 'The Brothers Grimm' 

 Moly_x_56 'The Brothers Grimm', founded by Mario Savinon & Tania Nunez (NY), is an extension of the Moleskine Exchange. This blog will follow the adventure of a group of artists around the world, in a Japanese fold Moleskine sketchbook exchange. Our current group includes the artists listed to the right, including contributors in many different countries all over the world.
Each artist will set off with a small Japanese (accordian) folded Moleskine. Creating a drawing, collage, or painting, then send on to the next artist. Each artist will draw on a couple of spreads (3-4 pages) then send it on to the next artist. When the artists book is filled, it will be returned to the owner with images created by artist around the world. Each artist has a month (give or take) to make an entry. The outcome will be a pleasant and surprising adventure, as artists are encouraged to interact and merge their art with others.

The concept:
1. The artists start with the Japanese fold Moleskine - Name, address, email address written in book.

2. Each artist gets 1 month (give or take) to make a sketchbook entry, and mail it to the next person. The order is listed to the right for participants in this exchange, look at the list of names under MAILING ORDER. If you ever need to update addresses, please feel free to contact your partners directly! An important part of this project is to discuss and exchange information and ideas.

3. Each artist will do 3-4 pages each round.

4. Artists are encouraged to interact with other images in the book. Please be respectful, but also don't hesitate to meld your art with earlier entries.

5. When the book is full, when one side of the unfolded book is filled, the book will be sent back to its original owner. That artist may continue by buying a new book and sending it to the next person.

6. If a person decides not to continue, he/she will simply keep his/her book when it comes back to him/her. He/She should email all of the participants to say he/she is not going to continue. We will decide, then, if we want to find a new person.

7. Please communicate regularly via email. Let each person know that you have received/sent the book. The goal is to have a dialogue. Any comments and questions are welcome.

Ready, Set, Go!!
