MolyXers in Minnesota!

I had a wonderful time in Minnesota over the last few days with Claudio and Marty Harris (our gracious host and the founder of our incredible project). It was a bit surreal meeting these guys for the first time, yet knowing them so well from moly_x...it was much more like seeing old friends rather than people I’d never met in the flesh before.

Talkin’ Moly_X with Marty at MCBA

Last night we had a wonderful Q&A session with Roz Stendhal’s Visual Journal Collective at the Moly_X exhibit at Minnesota Center for Book Arts. The ladies were all very enthusiastic and several have already expressed interest in joining the fun.

Working on Nicole’s book at Marty’s house with Claudio

Sadly I was not able to finish Nicole’s book in time to send it off with Claudio today (Too much fun with ‘The Band’ as Claudio was calling us). But I will get it done before I skip town.

I encourage anyone within driving distance of Minneaopolis to try and stop by the MCBA show before it comes down on March 6th. It’s truly inspiring to see so many of these amazing books up together at once.

Julia Kay's Portrait Party

So, while we’re all waiting on the next masterpiece in one of our wandering molies, I thought I would share a cool new flickr group I stumbled upon called Julia Kay’s Portrait Party. I wrote a fairly substantial post over on my blog with some of my favorites. Or you can just click through to start checking out all the amazing portraits.
Omar has already joined the party (and I’ll get to your portrait soon, my friend), anyone else?

Here’s one I did of Moly_X founder, Marty Harris:


UPDATE: I did portraits of Omar and Danica for the Portrait Party too!
