dear friends,

please read this message, don't skip it.

on 27th december 2008, my very good friend Mikka died. he was robbed and thrown to the river. some of you could have known him or have seen his wonderful and poetic b&w photographs of his daily life.


if not, you can check his gallery right now. it's worth seeing believe me!



Mikka's wife Ksenia decided to do a book in memory of him.
the little bear's book. in russian it is Мишкина книжка (Mishkina knizhka) what has double meaning - the little bear's book and Misha's book (that is Mikka's real name).


Ksenia asks everyone to take part and draw little bear for Mikka or for their 1 year old daughter who could watch them all later when she gets older.

doesn't metter if you are skilled in drawing or not. just do it with your heart.


things to keep in mind:

* white background (so all the bears could look good all together. it'll be one bear on a page)

* 300 dpi (the book will be published on paper)

* write with your hand from who this bear is ( ex. "little bear from Maria" or "bear with flower from John")

that's how it'll look like: [link]



all bears are welcome here:
myplush@mail.ru



they all will be put on the website first and then the book will be published.



it would be great if you also asked your friends to draw a bear for Mikka.


thank you.
and take care
