Hi Molly,
Are these a one time shot? meaning if one is sold it is no longer available?
Molly, your portraits have such a unique quality to them that makes them shine. I love the UN-finished look to them, especially how they seem to just dissolve into watery drizzle that you did on several of the portraits, Cesare Borgia being one of my favorite examples of this! Unfortunately, I’m a 24 year old, just out of school artist, so I can’t afford any of these beautiful drawings, but I hope that knowing that you give aspiring artists like me infinite amounts of inspiration is enough for now!

Alas no. I could have easily done 666 portraits of people in history who were worthy, but I had to cut it off at some point. Thanks for the kind words!!

Molly, these are wonderful. So, is there to be a book to include all of them? I’d love to get an individual print, or two, but the book would be great.

I adore your style and choice of subjects. Is there a Gene Kelly or Danny Kaye in the works?

Nancy Wake! Ah, I may have to spring for the White Mouse. Utterly brilliant.

I love all these so much!!! I do wish you had Tallulah Bankhead in here though, or Marlene Dietrich – they fit so well with the others 🙂
