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

The little Queen

My entry is about loosing my way.

I hope you'll like it Chris :)

Sleeping AGAIN? :-P

Hello people.How are you? 
 It seemed that we could retrieve our group again and I was extremely happy for this, but 15 days have passed since the last post here.What is happening now?Chris, did you  sent the Carlos book to  Marty?  ( To MCBA Exhibith) And where is my book? Did you sent it to Carlos?Carlos did you received my book? Did you sent the Santiago Book to me? (Do You have my correct address?)Lady Orlando, did you sent Chris book to him?We are a small group of talented and mature artists and we have no more excuses not to make things work like many other  MolyX groups. We just need to keep in touch.

Our group today

Dear friends, maybe it help us to take a picture about how and where are the books

Ramires book is done

Hi Friends, Here is my entry in Ramires book. It's very much a continuation of Samantha's entry. My entry was inspired by the movie "Ponyo" which is an animated film. Hope you like it. Here's a picture. Tomorrow I will post a hi-res scan to Flickr.

This is the last book I have. I would really like to know where the other books are. Please email me or comment here if you have a book. Thanks!

Edit: Hi-res image is up on Flickr.

Chensio's Moly is done!

I just finished up my entry in Chensio's moly. By the looks of it, every has completed one entry in his book. YAY!

I haven't taken a Hi-Res scan yet, but here's a crude photo. I'll post the hi-res to flickr after I scan it tomorrow.

Hi 34's :-)

How are you all?Any news about the books?

Santiago's book !

Today I received the Santiago's Moly from Chris !

Santiago's book is done and done. Finally.

I've had this moly for a long time. I'm very happy to be done and very sorry to delay our awesome group. I've been inspired by Asian art for a number of years and this is a testament to that. My own little Hokusai for Santiago's group. I hope you like it.

EDIT: This book will be sent to Chensio next.

Look what I found!

Life has a funny way of monopolizing your time and you end up forgetting important pictures on your hard drive. What a thrill it is to meet a fellow Moly-Xer. Back in August, I met our very own Chris, the Rebelpapa, and handed him Chensio's book. Chensio, your book travelled with me from Istanbul to San Francisco, to New Hampshire, where it was delivered safely to Chris. A bit longer than posting it, but much more fun.

I can't believe I neglected to post this.
Chris, it was wonderful to meet you!

I have a new tube of paint.

Check it, my friends.
I'm going to add a little something to that black swirl soon.
And some more blue.

Progress in Santiago's book

Hey group, just wanted to post my progress on Santiago's book. I finished the sketch part of it a long time ago. I just started adding paint today (about 40 minutes so far). I'm going for some dinner now. When I get back I'm going to put in a couple hours. I'm really hoping to be finished by the end of this week before I go away on 2/14. I'll only be gone for a week and I'll bring the next book in my queue to at least get the rough sketch done. Enjoy!

The Wonderful 34 Books

Dear friends and artists this image above would give a clearer view of the current status of our group. It is noticed here that although we stopped for a long time we are not so badly to take back our project. The book of Samantha example has completed the first round and others are very close.I would love to be able to help more for our group did not die so near the end when we have done works of art so stunning together.Chris and Yoda, it seems that you have some books, just try to make a plan to continue sharing your great talent on our books and talk to us.
Chensio and Santigo, you will be in the way of some of these books, are you ready to go with your incredible art? (say yes please :-))) As we read in the last post, Samantha and me are ready to move on. When I was making this chart, I could see how many wonderful things we did together.
 Please, comment here what you think.
