Translation:
I dreamt Oleg and I were walking inside a dream of one of us (I think it was mine). We walk through a flat wilderness, once in a while a strange figure passes by us, or a galloping horse. I say to him: “why not? Let’s hang out a bit in our subconscious”.
**************** Patti Smith – Gloria *****************
Not very inspired these days. It’s hard to concentrate with everything that’s going on.
Sorry for not posting for a few days. My back aches won’t let me sit still and draw.
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
(An old page from my last art school sketchbook. I drew this creepy doll once again here)
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)
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?
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 :)
My name is Keren Taggar, an illustrator from Tel Aviv, Israel. This is sort of a sketchbook blog, a place for me to publish things I have nowhere else to show, and also a daily drawn diary.
