a small exhibition

Hi folks, i am having a small exhibition of my paintings and have managed to get hold of two of the museums display cases to show off some of our work......I have put a link address to the group in the info, lets hope it gets some new and enthusiastic members :-)

Meeting Moly-Xers

Life has a funny way of monopolizing your time and you end up forgetting important pictures on your hard drive. What a thrill it is to meet a fellow Moly-Xer. Back in August, I met our very own Chris, the Rebelpapa, and handed him Chensio's book from Moly-X34. Chensio, your book travelled with me from Istanbul to San Francisco, to New Hampshire, where it was delivered safely to Chris. A bit longer than posting it, but much more fun.

I can't believe I neglected to post this.

I also had the good fortune to meet Anna Denise while I still lived in San Francisco, back in 2008. Here I am handing over Laura Ansa's Moly from Moly-X13, to the lovely Anna Denise.


In some way, it felt like I had known Anna and Chris for years, and yet, up until those moments, we had never seen each other in person nor heard each other's voices.

I had such fun meeting both of you!

Our very own Samantha.

there are still moleskines moving....

it seems to be a little quiet in the exchange groups at the moment....summer has gone and winter gloom setting in....or for those on the other side of the world its spring time and there is more to do? It is a puzzle why things are so slow.........

I have been busy tidying my studio , and thought I would take the chance of recording the event ! so here is a shot of some moly action in my tidy ( seriously ! :-) ) studio
