Jaffa

This week I had an opportunity to visit Jaffa, an ancient port city next to Tel Aviv. Jaffa is one of my favorite places in the world... Walking through its streets makes you feel like you're lost in time.

New Paintings

The goal for doing these paintings was to have fun, and to not to be over concerned about details or accuracy of the subject matter. In fact I wanted to look at references as less as possible. It's like having a sweet juice for your brain, mind, and soul to work on pieces with a lot of freedom.

Character Drawings

These drawings are for my science-fiction graphic novel in a development. I have this one idea I want to do in this novel, but except for that I so far only have sheer images of characters and flashes of landscapes this story would take place. Since a story is an organic being, I can't force it to grow faster than its natural growing speed, so it will be interesting to see how this one will develop over time.

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.
