Illustration Friday: Impossibility

Madongo didn't realize the impossibility of his action...

... and that's how he ended up in Picacho Peak, AZ.

Illustration Friday: Fleeting

I'll admit, I wasn't very inspired to draw this week and last. But since I already missed last week's topic, I decided to do something, however uninspired I feel. So here's an Easter bunny. The sun only came out for a fleeting moment, but a rainbow appeared nonetheless, giving Bunny something to look for, now that Easter's over.

Illustration Friday: Poise

I have to admit - I had to look it up. Did you know that it is also a measurement unit of viscosity? One Pascal second equals tens poises! :)

However, I decided to go with the more traditional meaning of the word:


This seal is lucky, because he lives in the Galapagos Islands. What a beautiful place. More importantly - protected.
Other seals are not so lucky...

Illustration Friday: Subtract

What do you get when you subtract a lion?

- a sad lion...


I need to learn how to color more professionally...

Illustration Friday: Legendary

The Legendary Chickalo


The chickalo is believed to have roamed the grasslands of North America in great numbers. Alas, due to its delicious wings - a favorite American dish - it has gone extinct.

Illustration Friday: Intricate

The [imaginary] intricate connections in the animal kingdom:

Illustration Friday: Breezy

I didn't have email access till last night, and so I had to draw this week's topic on the plane. It was quite fun, having to do it correctly because there's no pencil and eraser. So here you go, quite simple, but it came out pretty much as I wanted :)

Illustration Friday: Instinct

It's Gail's instinct to stop in front of every shoe shop, and gaze...

... even when it wasn't exactly the right style...


OK, here I tried to create a more minimalistic style, but obviously, I failed. I feel like I always have too much details for it to be a clean, simple drawing, but then not enough detail to be a really nice, elaborate work. Any suggestions on how to work toward clean and simple would be appreciated!

Illustration Friday: Celebrate!

Peste's celebrating while we're gone...


One day, many years ago, my sister baked a pecan pie and left it on the table to cool down before we left to my uncles to celebrate Rosh Hashana. When we came back, the pecans were scattered all over the table, and the rest of the pie was half eaten. Apparently, Peste, aka Pistuki didn't like pecans. One of the VERY few things she didn't like.

Pistuki died almost 6 years ago. I still miss her very much.
Oh, and by the way, Pistuki was a lot cuter in real life than in this drawing.

Illustration Friday: Time

"Excellent! It's gonna be a LOOOOOOONG time till my next visit to the hairdresser!"
