The street hear the houses

I enjoy very much to illustrate poetic texts of the writer Iris Argaman for the column in "Hapinkas" - internet magazine on children's literature. The column tells about little boy, exploring the streets. This time the boy is scrolling the streets at night, observing every details, listening to every little rustle. I love especially the last verse:

At day
The houses hear the street,
But at night
The street hear the houses.

Tel Aviv beach on Japanese Moleskine

I have to say that Japanese Moleskine is just perfect for beach sketching! I could enter endless Tel Aviv beach with its never stopping crowd into the sketchbook without cutting the flow and even to leave more space for the next beach day!

Sketching everyday life

Some "home" sketches - everyday life is so full of interesting subjects, isn't it?

 I drew these with my new bamboo pen and ink - loving it!

Opening swimming season

Hello there! I just wanted to inform you that summer is almost here ;-) Last Saturday we officially opened swimming season and enjoyed sun, sand, sea and even some sketching. It's always fun sketching at the beach!

Illustration and its sketch

Here are my last illustrations that was published in "Einaym" magazine.

And here are some sketches that I did as preparations - again, love them more than the final illustration.

Hope that one day I'll find the perfect combination, i just need to do more ;-)

Berlin has it all - part 4

Finally, I finished to scan my Berlin sketches!
As I said in my previous posts, I totally loved this city - its contrasts between East and West, old and modern; a lot of history, art and design everywhere, and most of all its special open atmosphere!

35th World Wide SketchCrawl - at Tel Aviv Port

This time our local USk group synchronized our monthly sketchcrawl with 35th World Wide SketchCrawl, so we could feel like a one of many cities sketching together at the different parts of the world ;-)
We met at the Tel Aviv Port - flourishing hang out area with many restaurants, bars and shops, with its rounded street lamps, wooden deck that its shape was inspired by the Tel Aviv sand dunes, and the sea, of course. At Saturdays it's was very crowded - full of street performers, strolling families, people on bikes and rollers and so on.

We've spread out at the port, and little by little I found my little stories to sketch.
 

It was a great sketchcrawl, please visit our blog for more sketches!
