bwahaha

inspired to get all painty and scratchy and..itchy today. This is a scary mask. It is not satan.

Fairy tale business

Tried two different approaches to Background sketches today. The first was rendering a sketch in Black and white and laying colour over it, and the second was taking a tiny little thumbnail, blowing it up and playing with it. Personally I like the thumbnail approach- makes more more boldness and happy accidents.

See what you think.

Eye Guy

A character for a little short we're working on in our free time. Digital paintover by me, model by our talented all rounder, Talia Shapir.

Street sketch

Had a fun mosey through North tel Aviv last weekend. Sat and watched the uber-trendies air kissing in the cafes on Dizengoff St. Brought back some doodles.

Yeah!

Lemmings see their goals and act decisively.

Sketchbook

Recently had a fun sound session recording for an animatic. Whilst the guy searched around for the best *whump!* and *splat!* noises on his sound system I drew heads.

Cluedo Guy

Painted this and he turned out like one of those characters from Cluedo- who was the green one?

gasp!

I painted three lemmings for three colleagues this week, who all had birthdays...this is Dudu- the nervous one...Went back to the old school of brush and gouache for this. Really enjoyed that spiritual connection of pushing colour around on a page. when I say spiritual, I mean that which makes us stop thinking about anything else- when we get lost in the 'now'. Guess we all experience that in different ways. ..anyway. scanned the images and did some photoshop cheating with this one.

Happy birthday Nir, Keren, and Yanai. Have a brilliant year.

Barbarian dude

I can only draw ugly people. With helmets on.

Cars Bg

Whilst we've got a few days respite at the studio, we're making a short based on the perils of electric cars. This is a background from it. I'll post the short when we're all done. Should be funny!

quick sketch

computer metropolis

I like doing stuff like this, but it gives me a headache trying to create a satisfying colour scheme- usually involves lots and lots of retries and thumbnail colour schemes...and accidents.

It's thursday night- the weekend begins for us in Israel- time for a movie.

Cartoon reject

Autumn has come to tel aviv. Basically that means nothing- it's still hot, and I don't see no leaves fallin'. Well, I guess the shadows are a bit longer. This is a dude that came up out of a brainstorm earlier this week.

endless rodents

BIG LADY, small car

I owe a debt to Gary Larson for this lady.
