Two In Steevo's Moleskine (Portland Oregon)

Trying for a likeness

A quick sketch from life of BB in the back of the Mole from the last round, which still has a few blank pages. I'd like to be able to do likenesses. Click sketch to enlarge. I'd really like to be able to do likenesses!!!

Happy Halloween!

from my art in Ellen's Mole.

Have a GREAT HALLOWEEN!

Willie's Mix

Here is a link to the mix I made for Willie, it has an October theme.

The password is spooky.

I hope you enjoy it!

My work in Willie's Moleskine

This is my collaboration page with Willie. He had drawn that green square on a page, so I worked around it. I wasn't sure you intended this to be a collab page Willie, so I hope you are okay with it.

I know Willie likes quotes, so I did this on pages 2 and 3.

Some typical me work on pages 3 and 4. :)

All I have left to do is a half collab page for Ash and then off to the post office. I plan to send it priority Ash, since it took an eternity last time. Is there such a thing as Canadian priority?

Also, last round I included a Polaroid in the pocket for everyone, this round I have decided it will be a mixed cd. I have Willie's all planned out I just need to burn it and make a case. Once I do that I will upload it somewhere so y'all can download it if you want, and so Willie can hear it before next year.

Cheers friends and have a Happy Halloweeny!

My first (last) piece in Ellen's Mole

This is a collaborative piece for Mike Kline--I hope, Mike, that you like it better than the flowers. :-D

One last thing...

Last entry in a long series of entries...
A little ACO in a paper envelope for Ashes' moleskin pocket.

Pages 3, 4 and a 1/2

I had a really frustrating and horrible day yesterday - everything just went wrong! eventually me and Ned found our way home, and decided to just hide till the day is done... So we hid, Ned was retouching some photos from a shoot and I was working on Ashes' moleskin. And really enjoying myself, for the first time that day.

I finished the last half page this morning in a cafe while waiting for a friend to come over (she was an hour and a half late)!

Two things that I decided after finishing this:

The first is that I really need a watercolor folio moleskin for myself, even if I haven't finished my 8X5.5 by now, I actually went to the book store on my way home fron the cafe, but they were out, now I'm torn between ordering it online right now or waiting for the next shipping at the bookstore.

The second is thinking of my new moleskin as one work of art and not just a collection of different artworks, in this book I gave a lot of thoughts to the progression from one page to the other which is something I don't usually do, also, I really liked working on double spreads and not on one page at a time.

I'm going on a trip on November 17, and probably mail this before the 15th to get it off my list of things to do before the trip.

page 1 and 2 in Ashes' moleskin

I'm not quite sure what is it about this moleskin exchange thing that makes me want to dump every project, including paid design gigs that I'm way behind, some etsy orders and just about anything, and get this done before anything else. It was very frustrating to not be able to get any paint in it today, cause I was in a shoot, then actually getting some work done...

I've finished those 2 pages last night and I'm so happy with them, it's going to be really hard to say goodbye to the little mermaid and send this book on it's way once I'm done.

First Half page in Ashes' moleskin

This is the half page I did yesterday, I love Heidi's colors on the pumpkin, scan really doesn't do it justice. I started the second page this morning, drawing in my coffee shop which was very crowded and pretty chilly. I'm going to finish it now.

Not again...

But yes, I have again staid up till 4:00 AM!


and did the first half page on Ashes' moleskin. I'm really excited about how it came out and now wonder if maybe it's not such a bad idea to stay up a little more and start the next page after the paint dries, though i know I have an important work meeting tomorrow and a shoot the next day...

Look what came in the mail today!

Ashes' moleskin! It looks beautiful so far and I can't wait to start working on it!

ballookey - The Moleskine Ships Priority Tomorrow...

Last one is drying "YIKES" I am soooo late

Bye bye Steve's Mole

I took this on my front steps yesterday before I mailed it--didn't
dare toss it up in the air! Yikes! I enjoyed its visit immensely!
Now I am looking forward to the next one. I love that monster
face--the birds are great too--whats the shiny stuff painted on it,
Steve--on all of them?
