Moly_x_56



I was so pleased when I was asked to join the international Moleskine Exchange group moly_x_56.   This is an adventure from artists around the world filling their Japanese Moleskines and exchanging them.    The group also has all of their sketches on Flickr where you can see all of the wonderful sketchbook pages from around the world.  In our first round we are creating images that reflect Monsters and Spirit Guides.  It has been great fun and I am looking forward to seeing the next Moleskine in my mailbox.

Photos AND Drawings




On a recent trip I brought along the old Canon and the sketchbook.  I did this quick sketch of my brother relaxing in our hotel room in Spain.  On this particular day we had been stuck in Barcelona for two days since all trains were sold out heading north to France.  We were behind schedule but we made the best of it and relaxed, ate chorizo and drank some good wine...there could be worse places to be "stuck".
