Election day

Elections in Israel are over, we've got a lot of fresh faces in the new parliament and everyone has their hopes for a better future. Here are some sketches I did during the holiday we've got at the elections day.
I was looking for action, but everything was calm, people just enjoyed the day off and the beautiful weather.

Finally, I found some action at the evening on... TV. So I did some portraits of the politicians, and it was fun!

Rock&Sketch

A few days ago we've celebrated my son's, very serious electric guitar player, 15'th birthday. We've decided that the best way to celebrate is to go with whole the family to a rock concert. By a chance, we've found really great concert on his birthday date - 10 greatest Israel guitarists' reunion! It was real rock concert, with whole public standing and moving together with the beat. I didn't believe I could sketch, but after a while I pull out my sketchbook... and I have to admit  - sketching during a rock concert is really fun!

Happy New Beginnings!

New Year, new beginnings, new studio... 

My colleague Hagit and me decided to combine our knowledge and skills into one team and launched the TANDEM - creative graphic design studio. This greeting card is our first common project.
It is not so easy to work in tandem, but I think at least we've succeeded. 
Here are some process - sketches, different proposals for character design and illustration style and so on:

 On the occasion of the coming 2013, I'm wishing you very happy, creative and prosper New Year!

Hanukkah Candle Lighting Tour in Jerusalem

Hanukkah's holidays are over - a lot of family meetings, tasty food and light, of course. Last Saturday we've took a trek through the burning oil laps in the Old City of Jerusalem. The experience was magnified with the special atmosphere of Jerusalem,the glowing candles in the darkness of the night. Here are some photos and sketches.

Nutcracker

Last Saturday we've took Noa to a children's concert. Live music is always magic.

Sketching in Old Jaffa

This Saturday we went with our youngest daughter to see a show in a theater in Old Jaffa. It was a beautiful day, so we strolled Jaffa's colorful streets after the show. And of course, I took the opportunity to sketch.

We ended up at Puah - it was a perfect day!
