Sunday, October 7th, 2012Gond Art
Monday, August 13th, 2012
The Gond tribe in India has a traditional art form based on patterns.
Gondi artists fill the surface of images with patterns they develop, mostly inspired by nature.
For example, a pattern that looks like this: <<<< may be based on the steps of a bird, a row of spiders walking by or the shape of a cat’s nose.
Each artist has a personal pattern they develop ,which in time becomes their signature.
See some examples here, and read more about specific artists here.
I find this very inspiring and this is my first shot at it. Not so good, but you know first tries.
My patterns were inspired by the package of one of the medicines I’m taking at the moment:
If you had to create a pattern that represented you as an artist, would it be like the footsteps of a mouse? Or the shape raindrops make as they hit the ground?
I’m going to explore more of this tomorrow. Good Night!

Hey people! Today I’m shamelessly promoting my beautiful husband’s beautiful T-Shirt design for Threadless. If you could take a minute and score it, it would be so great.
There’s only one day left for voting, and we really need the prize money. Thanks!!!
New Project Excitement
Tuesday, July 17th, 2012
There’s a new project in the making, a new collaboration with my best friends.
The image above is a sketch, we’re just starting out, more details soon!!!
♥
I know, it looks like I’m a total bi-polar (which I guess is true :). One day I’m sad and have no ideas, and the other I’m super excited about new work and feel like my head is bursting with ideas and emotion. Ahh… the joys of being an artist!

A new interview about my typographic work on the Alef Alef Alef blog (in Hebrew). It turned out pretty interesting I think, and there’s a weird picture I took of myself.
Weekend Music
Friday, June 29th, 2012This video blew my mind yesterday. The art is by french artists Mrzyk & Moriceau.
See more of their great work here. I find them very beautiful and inspiring.
They also created an i-phone application which looks pretty cool.
Have a nice weekend, hopefully doing nothing.
♥ ♥ ♥
Edit: The i-phone app is really great! You can create (almost) endless combinations from parts of Mrzyk & Moriceau’s drawings. Here’s what I did, it’s so much fun!
Head of the Bull*
Monday, June 25th, 2012
If you happen to be in Tel-Aviv next week, please come to this flash exhibition I’m a part of.
It’s an illustration group show that will be up for only one evening, arranged by type-design collective Alef Alef Alef, and celebrating the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet: Alef.
The illustrators participating are really great, I’m sure it’ll be interesting.
(My work graces the invitation, what an honor :)
* The shape of the letter Alef (א) is believed to originate from the shape of a bull’s head, horns and all.
Too Good Not to Share
Monday, May 14th, 2012This is just beautiful, and this girl Shishi is just 23 years old, which proves, once again, that Japanese people are super-humans (via Some Required):
More animation work by Shishi Yamazaki.

I’ve never seen such beautiful shirts before!
Snapshot of Mia Farrow (as Daisy) from 1974 “The Great Gatsby”.
Watched the movie today, after finishing the book, which I loved.
