My second addition to my own moly in the moly_x_25 Moleskine exchange as it begins its return journey round the loop..

Charlie and the Chicken Suit

(Fibretip, coloured pencils)

Donning the Chicken Suit, Charlie stepped out to meet Illustration Friday's challenge: Chicken.

Phenomenon

(2B mechanical pencil, coloured pencils on A6 cartridge)

Illustration Friday's brief is: Phenomenon. The benefits of this remarkable tropical plant, a true phenomenon, were kept hidden from the public for many years. It was left to the crusading spirits at the Daily Mail to reveal how much we owe to it and yet what a danger it presents.

Prehistoric

(Fibretips, coloured pencils on A4 inkjet print)

This week's Illustration Friday brief - Prehistoric - happened to coincide with my rediscovery of a pencil rough for a rarely seen dinosaur. So I combined it with a sketchbook drawing of woodland and reworked the whole thing.

Savour

(Fibretips, coloured pencils, 2B mechanical pencil, A6 cartridge )

Another cartoon for Illustration Friday. This time the brief was Savour.

Nasty Party

(Markers, coloured pencils, A6 cartridge)

Nice Party

Village Molys

(Markers, fibretips and coloured pencils in Japanese accordion-fold Moleskine)

This is my latest addition to a Moleskine in the Moleskine International Exchange group, Moly_x_25. The theme of the book is Colourful Characters, so who more colourful than the Village People? Admittedly, when filtered through my imagination, they've come out looking rather shifty, but sometimes you just have to let the pencils take you where they will.

Brand New Moly

(Markers, fibretips and coloured pencils in Japanese accordion-fold Moleskine)

As I've indicated previously, progress on Moly_x_63, the Totem Pole Moly, has been slow, so I recently signed up for another Moleskine exchange. This is my first contribution to Moly_x_25, just beginning its second round after a successful first one.

I find it really relaxing to sit in front of the tv and draw things like this. There's no theme to this one, so I decided to start with a cornucopia and let it disgorge its contents, surprising me in the process.

Moly Once More

(Markers, fibretips and coloured pencils in Japanese accordion-fold Moleskine)
[Illustration Friday - "Burning"]

It's been well over a year since I was able to add to any of the moleskines in the Totem Pole Moly exchange, Moly_x_63. Unfortunately, this seems to be the nature of the beast. Things are on the move again, however, and this is my latest addition.

Hickery Dickery Dare

Fibretip and coloured pencil in A6 accordion fold Moleskine.

Hickery, dickery, dare,
The pig flew up in the air,
But Patrick Brown
Soon brought him down,
Hickery, dickery, dare.

Sometimes a change really is as good as a rest. I recently agreed to help out Michael Nightmare with his Piggy Moly which he'd retrieved from a moribund group of Moly Xers. When it arrived from Lynne Lamb a few days ago, I found the chance to do something that didn't involve painting very attractive, so tonight I set to and finished my contribution.

The nursery rhyme I found in Cole's Funny Picture Book, a treasure from my childhood. and I decided to make my pig a superhero. The evil Patrick Brown, his arch-nemesis, is yet to appear on the scene.

Molys Keep on Rolling

Michael's Moly

Jenn's Moly

Caught up at last! These two being completed means I can post all three to Pepparmynta in Stockholm. It's been fun making things up and finding colours amongst my collection of pencils and markers.

Moly Time Again

In March I announced my involvement with the Moly Totem Pole project. For various reasons, I haven't been able to carry on with it. Until now. Here's my addition to Lauren's Moly, done in a combination of coloured pencils and markers:
