Happy in the Haze of a Drunken Hour

Thursday, October 27th, 2011

Just got my hands on the new issue of Odyssey magazine, which cover I illustrated.
This issue’s subject is The Pursuit of Happiness - a very interesting subject indeed!

While working on this commission I listened to all of The Smiths albums, in order to get in the appropriate energetic mood (although I had to pay for my fun later that night, trying to fall asleep while at least three Smiths songs play in my head non-stop and all at once).

Ahh… the perils of being an illustrator.
PS. On the top right corner of the image above you can see the sketchbook spread the cover was based on (or as posted here on February)
 
The Smiths – Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now

 

In the Deepest Ocean

Tuesday, October 25th, 2011

Been dreaming lately about a house in the middle of the deep sea, about rooms that turn into caves, about bad construction issues. Meaning – too obvious to be written.
 
The soundtrack is Radiohead – Weird Fishes /Arpeggi:

Work in Progress… Maybe

Thursday, October 20th, 2011

I’ve been working for days on a new doll • Thought I’d try modeling each body part separately • But I’m too bored with it already • I really don’t feel like doing anything these days • Except eat maybe… • Been fantasizing about pancakes a lot :)

Dear Diaries

Monday, October 17th, 2011

Last time I was at my parents’ house I found a few of my childhood diaries.

It’s so strange, I don’t remember being an idiot, but I guess I was!

(please notice the authentic 80′s graphics)

Another Week, Another Holiday

Wednesday, October 12th, 2011

And who’s a better fit than a hipster black & white cat to deliver to you my best wishes on an ancient Jewish holiday like Sukkot?

Bang! Bang!

This is my latest editorial illustration, for the Yom-Kippur section of Ha’aretz newspaper.

The article, by Vered Lee, tells the story of the first all-women bank robbery in Israel. It’s a pretty interesting story – you can read it here (Hebrew only, sorry…).

I like this illustration very much, because I had so much fun working on it. I watched Dog Day Afternoon while working, to get in the mood (I think that what gave it that 70′s feel :)
