Here's my latest contribution to the International Moleskine Exchange. This one was in Toby's book. After it goes to Gustav in Japan, and he finishes and sends it on, it will have made it around the world. I believe it will be the first one to make it back to the beginning. Click on the image to get a better view of it. I used ballpoint pen, crayons, and pens to created the surreal landscape

Here's my drawing / painting for Cristina's book. There's a mini Moleskine in there, with a few references to my fellow Moly-8-ers. Plus some other slightly random works within, including a reference to one of my favourite internet songs. It's weird what goes through your head sometimes when filling pages!

Here's a scene I've added to Melissa's book. Not quite the typical vision of the perfect holiday, but maybe still with some summery essence. The drawings are kind of transcribed from ones I did whilst sunning myself on the quayside, in the village of Vernazza, Cinque Terra, Italy.

Here's what I drew in Kom-K's moleskine. I really was trying to get looser and use a lot of different textures, but still make it cohesive. I liked what Kom-K & Cristina did in this sketchbook and tried to continue the theme. I used acrylic paint, white correction fluid, India ink, ballpoint pen, marker, brush pen and collage. Let me know what you think of it. Toby & Gustav, please add and mix

Here's my piece following Gustav's theme "memory of my favourite things". I do have a Lancewood plant (left) and a snowboard :-) I don't like to think I own the forest but when I stand there and take in its special appeal, its my own space for those magic few moments. Loving the work everyone's turning out and can't wait to see more.

Here’s my contribution to the group.On the right, it would be fantastic if you could add your house or apartment building, or front door if you’d rather, and something to show where you are in the world or location within your country. Also, on the left, I’d love it if you could add three letters each, to spell out the words “Moleskine Exchange”. There’s a space inside the 8 for your national

Here are the sketches I have drawn in my book for the first exchange. I hope you other artists will mess with them, adding, coloring and manipulating my images. Maybe, you'll make snakes coming out of the chef's nose or flowers will bloom out of the coffee cup. Please feel free to make this fun and funky. I have already sent my book to Gutav Klim in Japan. I hope he'll get it soon.

I've just been made administrator for an international Moleskine Sketchbook Exchange. What it entails is drawing in Japanese Moleskine Sketchbooks and exchanging them with other artists. You draw in theirs, they draw in yours. You get some great art from great artists and you get to create some great art. You must use this sketchbook and you must send it to another person. So far there's me,
