So instead of dealing with the present, and the crazy events happening where I live, here’s a portrait from the past (hiding from conflict has always been my go-to way of action).
This is Ziona, who was my father’s aunt and a pretty successful artist. An inspiring character.
And here’s a song about a girl who isn’t too afraid of change: The Flaming Lips - I Can be a Frog (with Karen O doing cute little sounds in the background).
Emil Abraham is an artist (and also a reader of this blog). We met briefly on the ‘Ruby Wood Project’ exhibition, and started to chat a little by email.
The works above are by him. They’re a part of a larger series, and I like them a lot. They must be great to look at in real life, with all those layers of color and raw energy.

After yesterday’s post, Emil sent me a photograph of a knit he designed a long time ago, which my drawing reminded him of. The colors just tickled my eyes + brain so I had to draw it. It turned out pretty weird, but I like the fact that it made me do something less “pretty”.
