Dana’s moly...complete!?!?!

With the addition of Nicole’s awesome entry, Dana’s book has now reached everyone in the group! It's been to 5 countries, 4 different states and crossed the Atlantic twice! Amazing! (Click to see it MUCH bigger.)

However, by my estimation there's still about 10 blank pages left over. I guess I’m wondering what everyone would like to do now that many of our books are nearing “completion”? We could leave them as they stand and get them back to their owners, or we could recruit some new folks to try to fill every page...we could even send them around to the current members for a second round (maybe not portraits for the second round?). What do you guys think? Dana should definitely get to decide what to do with her book next but I thought it might be good to talk over some options.

first time

this is the first time

i finished the moly within a month!

who should i send dana's moly to next?

Suzette and Dana

Hy People I just sent an e-mail asking to Dana send his mail address to Suzette can send my book directly to Dana.

and Suzette how are you? It have neen a while since we have heard from you.

Dana's moly - finished?

So, I threw some ink at Dana's book tonight and am reasonably happy with it.


I dig how we look like some kind of oddball buddy team like Mulder and Scully or something.

However, I'm debating whether to add anything into the background. I was thinking of continuing the background color she used in her opening portrait somehow. I made a couple quick mockups in photoshop and would love to hear your thoughts:

I like this last one but I'm not sure if I could pull it off in the book without trashing the sketch. I'll probably just leave it alone...unless you all talk me into it!

Dana's moly - work in progress

I started working on Dana's moly tonight. I don't think I've really captured her expression from this great photo on her flickr page but there's lots of work still to be done on it.

Finished!

My entry in my book is finally finished. I made a little goof when I made a sign in page and had some marker bleed onto the first page so I opted to patch my error with scrapbook paper, luckily I had some handy that worked out so well for what I was going for.



I'm happy with how it turned out given the circumstances, and cannot wait to get my next book! This one will be off to Tim tomorrow!

progress

I'm surprised this isn't done yet, but I got absolutely swamped with clients needing rush design and print jobs so there hasn't been too much sleep for me lately.

Being busy with work is too good to complain about though, so no more excuses here is a progress shot, I have to fix some issues yet (lips!) before I do anything more with it, and then it will be well on its way to being done and sent on!

Hello group!

Hi everyone!

My name is Dana Bower and I am very excited to be joining your MolyX group! I've been interested in MolyX for awhile now after seeing entries in books tagged and displayed throughout fickr but was never in a position to really dive into one myself.

I am a recent college graduate from Bowling Green State University. I received my Bachelor's of Science in Technology in August, my major was Visual Commication Technology. After graduating, I began doing graphic design work under my own company (which is still developing along nicely!) and I just turned 22 years old yesterday! I've been wanting to do traditional work now more than ever as I have gotten away from it a bit throughout college. I figured now is the time, and I hope to grow enough so that I can incorporate illustration into my company's business plan.

I look forward to learning more about everyone and learning what MolyX is really all about!
