Koi Fish

2008-12-19T07:45:00.000-08:00

I like Koi Fish. They have become pretty trendy in the tattoo and art atmosphere.

Since the other day I was thinking of drawing and getting back on the moleskine train that I fell from a long time ago [since summer].

I did the koi on Johannes moly. I hope he enjoys it. The quality of the photos that show the process are not that good but the final one is. Hope you enjoy it.

2008-07-15T15:07:00.000-07:00

It have arrived. Finally I got just in time for my trip to US my molesking. Johannes sent it to me last week and it arrived today. Great timing. I will now upload the photos/scans of the drawings that JOhannes made on my moleskine. I still have his on my power so lets see what happens. I have new ideas for the pages I already did.

Priority.

I use this kind of stickers to share my art with others. Instead of sticking it I draw it or well tried to draw it here and then made the drawing as it was a real sticker. I liked the idea of this one. Should give you the sensation of wanting to take it ouf of there to stick it somewhere else. This is my new drawing/page/entry on Johannes moleskine.

This one was really hard. The skull almost got my hopes all dead while making it. Still I think it came out well. The shading was easy to do. I like how it matches all together. Could be Loveless. This is my second drawing/page/entry on Johannes moleskine.

he explained to me
"the numbers above the burning buildings represent the two dates where Magdeburg was completely destroyed and rebuilt ... nowadays most german people think of these huge soviet-style buildings first, when they hear the name Magdeburg "

This are the first scans sent by Johannes.

Welcome the Moleskine Exchange

2008-05-07T18:18:00.000-07:00

This exchange is composed by Reavel [Puerto Rico] and Johannes [Germany]. The idea was taken from Moleskine Exchange. This blog will follow the adventures of this artists from around the world, in a Moleskine sketchbook exchange.

Each artist will set off with a small Moleskine. Creating a drawing, collage, or painting, then send on to the next artist. Each artist will draw on a couple of spreads (2-5 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 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 Moleskine - Name, address, email address written in book.

2. Each artist gets 1 month to make a sketchbook entry, and mail it to the next person.

3. Each artist will do around 2-5 pages each round. But feel free to sometimes use a little more or less than 2.5 pages.

4. Artists are encouraged to interact with other images in the book. Please be respectful.

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, she will simply keep her book when it comes back to her. She should email all of the participants to say she is not going to continue.

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.
