Here's a fun project I was lucky enough to take part in. I was one of 9 illustrators who were invited by swimming book to create a postcard of a place they've never been to.

Well, adventure time over, for now. NYC exceeded all expectations. The Illustrators 55 opening was an amazing experience. It was super exciting to meet in person some of my favorite illustrators and art directors. Besides the fact it was unbelievably cold- those ten days were the best I've had in a long time. Here's a huge thank you for my host- The magical Keren Katz, a dear friend and a true inspiration. She told me once that dreams were meant to come true. and she was right. I'm back in my lovely little studio in Tel aviv filled with inspiration, and I'm going to be extremely busy for the next few months working on 3 major projects. I'll share more details soon.. One last thank you to NYC and to the wonderful people I met and made me feel at home. (you know who you are!) It meant the world to me.

These two works of mine are participating in Illustrators 55 exhibition in New York. I'm super excited to be visiting NY for the first time. I'll be at the oppening of the show, and also be talking about my work alongside the wonderful keren katz at the comics symposium! 

I illustrated a cover for the amazing Netherlands -  based Eight magazine. The fifth issue is hosted by thispagecannotbefound.com (hens the giant billboard) and it features some really talented artists. I think it will be available starting next week..
