About MP
One of two founders of the Boonika Art Project, Marko ZETS Prpic, single-handedly created this artist oriented website to help both good and ”not so good” artists to promote their work and ideas. The main idea for the project is that everyone has an equal right to participate. No one is more equal than the other. Being an artist himself Marko knows how hard it was to promote his art and that’s the reason why he decided to help others. It’s all about sharing & supporting each other!
Artists often have to pay or suck up to third parties to do that for them. Moleskine Project gives them the opportunity to promote themselves the way they really want.
So what’s it all about? Well, everyone can make a doodle! Babies, young boys and girls and even old folks. Hey, it could even be you! Cause you don’t have to be a top artist to doodle out something really cool. You don’t have to be an artist at all. Good idea is the only thing that matters. Thousands of creative souls from around the world have been using legendary Moleskine notebook for their doodles and notes. They became addicted to it. Unfortunately, some of them have gone mental. Take Vincent Van Gogh for example. Do you want to become just like them? But of course you do. Read the instructions and submit your Moleskine doodle. On the other hand we love mental because the more ideas you have the more mental you probably are, and we all know that there’s a thin line between being genious and utterly mad.
The Moleskine notebook itself is really a piece of art. It may look like any ”other notebook” but at the same time it’s totally different and each one is unique and personal. If you use it once you’ll use it always. Also, it has that superior “Italian design” effect which adds to a bit of ”I’m the king of the hood” attitude and not to mention the simplicity of usage. And we all know that the best things are the simplest ones - from ideas to inventions.
What is Moleskine?
Although the name may be confused with a generic term (moleskin), the Moleskine (pronounced /mɔleˈskine/ or mol-a-skeen’-a) is a brand of notebook manufactured by Moleskine srl, an Italian company. The Moleskine is bound in oilcloth-covered cardboard, with an elastic band to hold the notebook closed and a sewn spine that allows it to lie flat when opened.
Moleskine’s most famous endorsement comes from Bruce Chatwin, who used similar notebooks constantly throughout his travels, and wrote about them glowingly. Chatwin’s original source of notebooks dried up in 1986, when his Paris stationer informed him that the last moleskin manufacturer, a small family-run firm of Tours, had discontinued production in 1986 after the death of the owner. The modern Moleskine is fashioned after Chatwin’s descriptions of the notebooks he used and is not a direct descendant.
