Back Ache Galore

Sorry for not posting for a few days. My back aches won’t let me sit still and draw.

Happy in the Haze of a Drunken Hour

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)

Dear Diaries

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!

Another Week, Another Holiday

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 :)
