Tel Aviv Museum of Art



It's the Passover week here in Israel, and I took a day off to visit the Tel Aviv Museum of Art for the first time. During this holiday, all the admission is free, courtesy of Bank Hapoalim who is sponsoring the exhibitions, which I think is quite neat. It's a great opportunity for everyone to stop by at the museum and enjoy the art, and it was nice to see a lot of people out there.

The museum actually have respectable collection; it was great to see works of great artists like Magritte, Kandinsky, Max Ernst, and of course my favorite, Dali.

Tal Mazliah, the winner of 2009 Rappaport Prise, had an huge collection exhibited, and they were a lot of fun.

I've been hearing from people that they also have a glass museums in this area, which I could not check out today. I've heard great review, so I would definitely come back and check it out as soon as I get the chance.

If you get a chance, I recommend the trip to Tel Aviv Museum, for a quiet tour to enjoy art.

Tibetan Folk Tales




I love eastern mythology, and lately I've been captivated by Tibetan folk tales. It's filled with exciting fantasy tales, and it has such a kind philosophy underneath. I'm getting lots of ideas and inspirations for my next graphic novel. I highly recommend the wonderful book by Fredrick and Audrey Hyde-Chambers, the collection of authentic Tibetan folklore.
