Visit to Moscow

http://lenarevenko.com/blog/files/moscow-01.jpg

Recently my friend Karin (who lives in Berlin) and I met in Moscow. Last time I’ve been to Moscow I was twelve, and could only remember a very tasty ice-cream I ate on Exhibition Grounds, and that my cousin Sasha, whose room I occupied during that visit, had a very cool kind of calculator, which could generate mathematical exercises as a game. This time I had definitely more memories. This city is beautiful, sexy, intriguing, but also cruel, clinical and very cold in every respect.

some new works

Added some new works to the website. I work on beautiful, almost transparent handmade paper made in Nepal. So this time I had to draw all the textures myself :)

A Chinese Souvenir

I brought many beautiful books of old prints from China, and especially excited by their monsters and other magical creatures. Seriously thinking about studying Asian mythology…

one family and one jelly-fish

In July in Israel the sea is really full of jelly-fish, which makes it quite dangerous to swim. But anyway, we spent today a beautiful day on a wild beach, along with this strange creature (and some nudists).

Yesterday, while I was making obsessive dots and tiny lines on that monster from the previous post, my friend Lilach was drawing beautiful sketches with ink:

view

I had a meeting in old Shalom Tower yesterday. They have many boring offices there inside, but the view was so beautiful! The old Tel Aviv neighborhood Neve Tzedek with Old Jaffa on the horizon and calm and endless blue sea. Of course, mobile phone camera hardly shows a small part of that beauty…

Michelle, Shavuot 2008

Michelle was sure she was a princess, but it was only a Shavuot dress. All the kids in her kindergarten were dressed in white and had little baskets with fruits and cheeses.
Shavuot, jewish holiday of the first harvest.

Interesting hair hats by japanese pop-artist Nagi Noda. Actually, her other works are great, too. And funny :)

My Secret Face

Last year my friend, industrial designer Inbal Musai and me created a jewelery brand «MySecretFace». The idea was to make something partly hidden, therefore more private and personal (hm, I see I deal a lot with «secrets» recently…) Inbal created beautiful shapes from porcelain, and I made illustrations for them:

Stamp for Karin

I made this sketch for a stone stamp for my dear friend Karin, who came from Germany to meet me in China. Karin liked it. The artisan who curved, was a bit stressed when he saw that we want not a usual «Your name in English and Chinese, ready in 5 minutes!», but finally, did a great job.

Lag baOmer

Today is a celebration of Lag baOmer, a Jewish holiday when in the evening kids (and not only) light bonfires everywhere. Just next to my house they lit it so good, that it put on fire the whole waste ground! 8-0
