Just got word that my cover for Steampunk Magazine is going to be included in Jeff VanderMeer’s Steampunk Bible

My Baggage

Molly — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 16:24:36 +0000

+ Tin, once containing mints. Now business cards, designed by Nubby Twiglet. The rounded corners fit perfectly

+ Moleskine, painted to distinguish it from its sisters

+ D & G sunglasses, found randomly, whose shape mimics a contemptous brow forrow

+ Anna Sui compact

+ Sequined wallet, from Pearl River Mart, filled with foreign currency.

+ Sequined scarf.

+ Giant book. In this case Hitch 22, which is tragic and beautiful and hilarious and very good

+ Perfume that smells like baked goods

+ Mark Ryden pin, doled out by the man himself at his opening

+ Passel of microns

+ iPhone, much dropped, with sticker of my drawing 3M made for a digital art show in Brazil

+ The bag is an Alexander McQueen, in the style of Jack the Ripper, and is quite large enough for all one’s super-villain needs

Last week, Zoetica Ebb and I proceeded to the battered bastion of joy that is Coney Island, where we ate sweet things and pulled bull horns and Zo took my Ferris Wheel virginity. Fortunately, Chinashop published a recap.

Burlesque Inspired by My Art

Molly — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 01:39:28 +0000

Burlesque is a huge inspiration for me, so I was incredibly stoked when performer Mynx d’Meanor asked to do a burlesque number based on my art. Here she is debuting it at San Fransisco’s Hubba Hubba Review. Bestill my heart!

Painting Harlots on My Dresser

Molly — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 22:43:08 +0000

Ever since I got those Etnies sneakers at the Comic Book Legal Defense party, I’ve been attacking every available surface- including my decrepit dresser.

I drew they harlots on with a base coat of acrylics, then etched out the details in sharpie. See the process after the jump
