Urban Carnival by Olya Fomina

Olya Fomina of Russia showcases her entry into the Carnival Moly by the Moleskine Exchange: Group 4. Her entry titled Urban Carnival also features a poem called Carnival Man by Carole Z. Spinelli with a first stanza that goes:

Carnival man

i fell in love with a carnival man

slick as glass

bold and brass

narrow hips

ample lips

muscled arms

wicked charms

The adventures of the Moleskinex4, which features artists from Netherlands, the U.K., Israel, Germany, Argentina, U.S.A., and Russia, are chronicled in their blog, moleskinex4.blogspot.com:

This blog will follow the adventure of a group of artists around the world, in a Japanese fold Moleskine sketchbook exchange.Each artist will set off with a small Japanese (accordian) folded Moleskine. Creating a drawing, collage, or painting, then send on to the next artist. Each artist will draw on a spread (2 or 3 pages) then send it on to the next artist. When the artists book is filled, it will be returned to the owner with images created by artist around the world. Each artist has a month to make an entry. The outcome will be a pleasant and surprising adventure, as artists are encouraged to interact and merge their art with others.

The moly is set to travel next to Israel where it will be concluded — another achievement for the MOLY_X 4.
