Tim's Intro

Hey gang, I’m Tim, an artist and graphic designer living in northern New York State. I really love these kinds of collaborative art projects and have participated in several since I first saw the 1000Journals project years ago. I really love the Moly_X concept and even drove halfway across the country to see the exhibit that Marty (the project’s founder) put together in Minneapolis! You can see some images from the show on the Moly_X_Life blog. I also filmed several of the books on display there and you can find those on my YouTube channel.

I’ve had variable success with Moly_X but I’m hopeful for this group. I think we’ve got an exciting concept and as long as everyone communicates we should have a ton of fun. I chose Alphonse Mucha as my artist. His elegant Art Nouveau style has long been a favorite of mine and I’m hoping I can put an interesting 21st century spin on this master.


You can find my work at my flickrstream, on my infrequently updated blog as well as Moly_X Portraits#2. I just joined Google+ as well and have been having fun posting about art and music and other random internet stuff.

Introductions

Hi everyone.
I see that Anna Denise has set up our blog. Since I will be leaving for vacation this weekend I wanted to make a quick introduction so that if you don't hear from me next week, you know I am still very interested in this group.

I am Melissa from Pennsylvania (USA). I'm a high school art teacher and currently participating in two other groups - mxportraits1 and molyx25 and am a moderator for some of the moly groups and the flickr group. Looking forward to getting to know everyone in this exchange. I'm pretty handy with excel and have made progress charts for some of the other groups to keep the artists organized. Will be glad to help out in this exchange in any way I can.

In the initial comments I had posted another artist's name, but I have been rethinking my selection. Currently thinking I would love to have everyone do an Eric Carle style entry in my book (does not have to be a child theme, however).

Be back in touch after August 20th.

Melissa (3MW)
