pencils, markers and paint

Here's my entry into Chris' book for Moleskine Exchange 34. I'm not sure what was going on in my mind as I was drawing this, and I'm not sure I like it very much. Chris, I hope you like it. Perhaps I need to add some gold ink to it... I don't know. Any suggestions?

...and a lousy webcam!

This is my Moly for Moleskine Exchange 34. I've been adding some arteries, blue waves, black swirls and branches throughout the book to tie the work of our creative group together. I think I'll draw a little something in that big black swirl beside the lovely lady drawn by my friend Yoda Navarrete.
Not sure what yet...

this week's work

Above is my entry in Carlos Ascensio's Moleskine for Moleskine Exchange 34. I love the vibrancy of this exchange, and have been having a lot of fun with it. The heart tree is part of an ongoing theme in my work, and the wolf-mask was carried on from Yoda's beautiful previous entry. I highly recommend checking out our exchange's blog so you can see the incredible artwork that has been making 34 so special.

Below are some sketches from around town this week.

Coffee... a little drawing... a little thunder... a movie. I love going to the movies. In San Francisco, I lived around the corner from two marvellous theatres: the Lumiere and the AMC Van Ness. I went all the time— even to movies I wasn't interested in, for the simple pleasure of sitting in a room full of strangers, watching a story unfold on a big screen with a bag of popcorn. I hadn't been since I moved to Istanbul, and decided that today was the day. I went to see Angels and Demons, which is not something I would normally see, but the choices are pretty slim. I found it pretty entertaining— especially once I noticed that a certain priest was a certain Ewan McGregor. I've had a fondness for him ever since The Pillow Book and Velvet Goldmine.

and finally...

My entry in Ramires' book for Moly-X34 is complete.
I am so happy with the way it turned out.
