I went to the first time to Israel in late August, 2007. I was a very surprised with its cosmopolitan life, its young people, the cafes, the shops, the boulevards, the slightly degraded facades of its Bauhaus style buildings, which made them so interesting, so alive, so human.Apart from all the 'war and terrorism'(thank you, mass media),Israel is an ordinary place.My drawings are done from life and try to show daily life in Israel, mostly Tel-Aviv. The Israel Sketchbook is an on going project.
Ben Zion Boulevard ( above). While I was drawing this there was an alarm and the police came, close the street and exploded some bag someone left behind . So the people you see are waiting to go to there business. This was actually the only time I witness someting like this , in the whole time I was there.
