From MH to AJ


This is my contribution to Andrea's japanese Moleskine for the Moly_X_12.
I did it again: I fell in the temptation of imitating the inimitable. I used Andrea's technique and tools and tried to mimic her style. I like this kind of games and I use to start promisingly. But at a certain point I give up and my free-freak hand starts to talk and...
Well this is the result of this game.
Is it a grasshopper, is it a mantis, is it a locust?
Nope. As Suzzane called it, this is bamboo frog's cousin.

Moly_X


Some weeks ago, Marty Harris invited me to join his flickr group called International Moleskine Exchange (moly_X for friends). He told me I should invite some people to draw together on a japanese Moleskine. The first thing I did was to take a look at the existing groups, and there I saw so many great artists I din't knew... but no one of my dream team! I wrote immediately all them (Andrea Joseph, France Belleville, Gabi Campanario, Juj and Suzanne Buchanan) to ask if they were interested, and they all said yes!! Marty opened a blog for us (we are the 12th group, now there are 17 throughout the world in this project).
After some fears, doubts, warming-up and planning, we finally started, and seems the first jump has been made by this bamboo frog, from me to Suzanne. She now must draw 2-3 pages and sent the sketchbook to Andrea (while Ill receive Juj's one) and so on till moly's are completed.
