Call for Entries

I am thrilled that moly_x will be exhibiting at Minnesota Center of Book Arts (MCBA), between mid-January through March 2011. It's coming up! This is a great venue, and this exhibit could mean some wonderful opportunities for other exhibitions around the country, and possible grants. This is a very receptive community.

I would like a few of these great books from this group. These books do not have to be completed. If you have a book right now, would you consider sending it to me. It will be out of circulation through March, but it will get some wonderful attention. I will guarantee it's safe return, or delivery to the next artist on the list.

MCBA does a great job of documenting their shows, so you will have a nice record. Whoever is in the book may add another credit to her/his resumé. We will continue to look for other similar venues for moly_x exhibitions. There are many book art institutions like this around the country, and there are many university book arts, and illustration programs.

I have dreamed of this exhibit since we started this little project.
Thanks for you help.

Yours,

Marty

I am here to basically assist all of you in any way I can to keep your group together, evolving, creating and hopefully finishing up all the wonderful books that are floating around between each others hands, inclusive of nudging anyone along who falls behind and anything else in between.
~A little bit about me I am an artist residing in NYC, I am in a few of the MOLYgroups here is my link as an introduction to who I am: http://www.flickr.com/photos/inknjoy/
In the meantime I hope to hear from all of you at some point, you now have my email address, and if there is anything pressing I should be aware of in the meantime, do get in touch with me. ^_^

Bridges and Ducks - Jose's Book

Mixed media - Pencil ,Pen and collage from an old digitalized book.
Dear friends
I live in São Paulo, the largest south American city, but I'm from Porto Alegre, the (little) capital city of Rio Grande do Sul state.
Every year with spring beginning we can see the ducks arriving from the north and passing over Guaiba lake going to "Lagoa dos Patos" - something like "Ducks Lagoon" - an other hundred of small lakes in the south of Rio Grande do Sul, Uruguay and Argentina.

One week after Marty show his "ducks entry" here in the blog I visit Porto Alegre for a job and by coincidence I saw the ducks coming and took a photo. (see the line on the picture beside)

That's why I decide to draw my two beloved cities using two important bridges to represent her.
To represent São Paulo I draw the modern Octávio Frias de Oliveira Bridge - aka "Ponte Estaiada"  (1km from home)
To represent Porto Alegre I draw the old Guaiba's bridge, a traditional Porto Alegre post card.
To Moly X, ducks and bridges natural barriers or geopolitcal borders don't represent a problem :-)
Sorry for the late and the simple work, I use only what I have available in my office desk.
Thank you all for your stunned art.

My Heroes

Excused the delay:) here my contribution to the moly of Joyce.

Heeey!

okay blame me! I still got Ramires`s book on my hand*wave white flag*, and I also have another book from moly_x portrait8, it`s been like monthes passed I still add nothing to both book..
and yes I do have many school works but technically I`m not that busy since I didn`t take many courses this semester, I spent most of times sitting in my apartment and thinking, wondering what to do next, I`m thinking to transfering school again and even to other department, to English or probably Spanish department I don`t know, and it`s a bit confusing since I don`t wanna give up my art, and you know sometimes even you have time to draw you just don`t have the feeling to draw, annnnywaaaay
I`m still in the game so don`t kick me out just because I haven`t been updated for awhile.

please feel free to nudge me anytime

xoxo

USA Soda Bottle Caps

This book is so spectacular!! As I have said, it is going to be in an exhibit in Minneapolis during December. There were two pages remaining to fill in the book, so I nailed a bottle cap collection into it. As terrific as this book is, I thought it could use a little something to make it flow. Everyone played so nicely side by side that the images didn't flow into one another. I nailed these bottle caps throughout the books. We'll see how cool it looks when all 9.5 feet of it is up in the exhibit. Thank you all so much.

I plan to use it to promote moly_x and other projects. I will keep you posted.

Hi Folks

Just checking in.....I think I have worked in everyones book except for Joyces.....is there and moly movement likely soon? We are so close to everyone getting their own books back, it would be a great way to end the year........

your city arrives

Jose's book  arrived in my house two days ago.
Each design is wonderful, you all are great artists, it is difficult to draw something after seeing how these artworks ... Jose your  theme's choice was great.
Despite my difficulty to paint or draw these days, still do not know if drawing Sao Paulo or Porto Alegre two weeks ago I was there and saw the ducks coming from the northern hemisphere going to the large lake called "Lagoa dos Patos "- I have pictures :-) . Marty, thanks for the postcard, your brother's work is fantastic, you have a very talented family :-))

at last , a small wolf video :-)

Finally!

I am so sorry that I have kept this so long. Not sure why this book fell between the cracks. José, I hope you like it. Migrating geese are delivering this book to Ramires on their migration south for the winter.
