So I decided to take a little vacation from blogging, for a week or two.

I need some time to refresh my eyes and find what I want to do next art-wise.

Plans include: going to the Tel-Aviv Museum of Art and the renovated Israel Museum in Jerusalem, watching a children’s movie with my niece, swimming in the sea (at night) and drawing and writing in my sketchbook (optional plan include cleaning the house).

I’ll leave for now with No Fun by Iggy Pop and the Stooges, which describe pretty well my current vacation-craving mood. See you real soon!
 

This morning I watched The Breakfast Club again after a long time. So good.

My favorite character was always Alison, the total weirdo (this post’s title is one of her lines).

Two cute girls I drew two summers ago.

The blond one kind of lost her edge (most of Tel-Aviv girls dress like this right now, how annoying), but the brunette one still looks super-cool! And that’s very important stuff.

It’s so pathetic, but I always cry on reality TV final episodes, when the winner is declared, even on the stupidest shows like America’s Next Top Model and such :)

Today I watched the final episode of Work of Art, which is like a Project Runway for artists (it’s surprisingly good, considering all). Yes, I wept a little…
 

And speaking of contests, grand prizes and crazy aspirations, I submitted my bear illustration as a t-shirt design on Threadless.com, you can see it here.

Would you be nice and score it generously, thus helping me to become rich and famous?

And the light begins to fade

And everything is quiet now

Feeling is gone

And the picture disappears

And everything is cold now

The dream had to end

The wish never came true

And the girl

Starts to sing

Seventeen seconds

A measure of life

This is my latest work for the Ruby Wood Project. It looks to me like a twisted version of those signs people hang in their homes, like Home Sweet Home, and other cliches.

It makes me want to do an embroidered version, and then frame it in thick brown wood.

It’s been a while since I last wrote a post about another artist (not very nice of me), but today I came across some work I just couldn’t ignore.

These images are part of a project called Haunted Letters, by Guy Saggee of Shual Studio in Tel-Aviv. I’ve been a fan of the studio for years, but was still surprised by this work…

In this project Guy created both English and Hebrew alphabets based on events from Jewish history. Each letter on the alphabet illustrates a part of the story, and all of it together is used in a series of typographic posters. I can’t believe how strong those little weird drawings are.

This project is actually comprised of two parts, one is called Marrow Bones and the other We Did Not Try Hard Enough, and you can see more of them here and here.

Ahh! These kind of things make me so excited (maybe too excited) and also a little jealous :)
