Walk but Never Run

These days my mind is over occupied. Decisions must take place.
Looking at my illustration,though, I am very proud.
Walking calmly straight and full, thank god I have another universe to live in.

Pa Pa Pa Pa

I often imagine my self playing the saxophone solo of the song “You Can Call Me Al” by Paul Simon.
I love the saxophone part, absolutely love it.
This illustration is dedicated with love to my cousin’s 10 year old son who just started to play the Saxophone.
Good luck, dear!

His first birthday came and I drew these characters for him.

Try Again and Again and Again

It takes me a lot of time to say out loud what my guts understand immediately.
I was not happy with the diary I made, cannot really explain why, but it didn’t have that ‘swing’.
I made a new one. All Right!

One Two Three

I have no chance against mechanical production.
It takes me long time to choose, cut and glue my paper illustrations.
I came to this conclusion: my work is at its best when it is bear, when you can actually touch the paper pieces.
No printer will do the job, but i will.

I made one, and now I made two more.
Home Made Notebook, 40 pages, cardboard cover, round corners, squared paper.

Today

Barefoot in the park.
It felt good.

Dear Diary

New diary, new year, new beginning.

Home Made Notebook

I made it at home.
It has some faults.
40 pages, hard cover, round corners, squared paper.
The illustration is made of colors cut out of the daily newspaper and plastic glue.
14.3 x 20.8 cm.

Good People are Everywhere

Not a lot of people read my blog, but those who do, are precious to me. I got the sweetest offer from a kind lady living far away from where I do, to send me pink newspaper.
This message charged me with new energy and sure put a big smile on my face.

A Corner of my Own

One thing (at least) we have in common, my hairdresser and I, is that we both need scissors in our hands. I love the sound scissors make, “snip snip”.
Any way, he is hosting me and my work, and we got this precious corner.
Come up and visit my cornershop in the big city TLV!
