A Tote Bag for all the Pet Lovers

Hi there,

Here is a sweet design for all you pet lovers.

It was a digital painting that I created for a project, and you can get it on different products, but it looks gorgeous on a tote bag. I just wanted to show you, take a look :)

You can get this design and many others on my digital art shop, feel free to check it out!

Heart warming sketch

I'm on the roll with the sketches :) I find it very simple, just to grab a pencil and to doodle something, so much fun :)

I haven't sketched many animals, but when I do, I like to expose an emotion there.  I imagine the feelings and put them in the sketch. I never sketch from the imagination (It's too hard for me), but I try to put myself on the sketch, my thoughts and feeling, so even though that I sketch from an existing picture, I feel like I have created something completely different.

Take a look a the sketch, and the phrase that goes with it.

"I may not have everything I want in life, but I have all I will ever need to make my life complete, my family"

I just can feel the emotion in animals... they are so sincere and pure, and their love is genuine.

Until the next time, have a great day!

A Sensual Sketch for a Change

That's it! I'm done with the melancholic sketches!

Yesterday I've sketched my first sensual sketch. I don't know if it's perfect, but for the first time it's pretty good. I always thought that the woman's body is a beautiful art itself, so... it was pretty easy to sketch such a magnificent subject.

I had to find a suitable phrase for this sketch, and I decided to quote some lines from Prince's song "Damn You"

"When we're makin' love, I can't hold back / It's like having a hundred million little heart attacks."

I'll keep it short this time too... and let the art talk for itself...

Have a great day!

Last sketch in the melancholic series

Yesterday I've sketched the last sketch in the melancholic series. I got it out of my system :).
 This mini project is done and I feel content.


"The eyes are not responsible, when the mind do all the seeing" 

I like this particular phrase, because many times we see something very clear but our mind tells us that we see something else, we rationalize. This phrase comes to life especially when you're in love.

That's it, with those gloomy sketches! 

I would love to read your comments :) did you like those sketches? did you feel the emotions? 

Not all scars show, not all wounds heal

Another sketch from the melancholic series.
I don't know why I focus on women, but to me, their facial expression touches the soul.

The phrase that comes along with this sketch is :

"Not all scars show, not all wounds heal / Sometimes, you can't always see the pain that someone can feel"

I'm the first one to admit that I'm far from a descent sketcher (still experimenting), but... I'm glad that I can deliver the emotion.

Keep on smiling!

She finally drank her pain away

Yesterday I've stumbled upon a country song "Whiskey Lullaby" , it is a perfect soundtrack for my melancholic sketch series. When I heard this song, I knew that I had to sketch something.

Those lyrics gave me the inspiration:

"She finally drank her pain away, a little at a time. But she could never get drunk enough, to get him off her mind." 

Don't miss the video clip of this emotional song.

Until next time! Keep on smiling :) 

Old Love

Hi there!

It's been a while since I posted my last post, I think it was over a month. Well... I've been really busy creating dog portraits for my new customers, and improving my site DigitalDogPortraits.com. It's not easy to create a website (without any experience), do my art and to market the whole thing, but it is really rewarding (at least mentally).

I just had to take a break from all this project for a few hours, so I took my camera and went to visit my brother who lives in the big city - Tel Aviv. There is a beautiful boulevard next to his place, so I decided to relax a little, to have a beer and to sit there on a wooden bench. All the people were walking calmly on this beautiful Saturday afternoon, so I just sat there and watched them. Many of them were young people, funny dressed, some young couples with their baby, hipsters, homeless and more. A lot of "Kodak moments" just by sitting there doing nothing. I decided to use my 50mm Canon lens, and to use only black&white filter. I wanted the shots to be more mysterious and nostalgic.

Suddenly I saw an old couple, they were walking towards me, holding hands, looking happy. I was a little embarrassed to point the camera in front of their faces, they were walking too fast... as they passed me I was thinking - I can't miss that! I must take their photo, it is TOO good! So I stood behind them, made a quick composition in my head and took the photo. It was really romantic and sweet, and it was like being in a time tunnel. Take a look at the photo :

Old Love

After I took the shot, I was reflecting on my life. Thinking about my recent lost love, envying the old couple for having each other, enjoying each other companion after all those years... This picture provoked all those thoughts and feeling... I knew I had gold in my hands :) and I wanted to share it with you!

Well, I hope you enjoyed the photo, until the next time... Have a great day!

P.S. You can purchase a poster of  "Old Love" on my online store.

  

Vector Art - The First Cut is The Deepest

Hi There,

One year has passed since I saw her. I decided to leave her apartment, her city, her country, and to come back to my homeland. I loved her, I still do, but I couldn't stand the madness. I couldn't understand her anymore and she just didn't share her thoughts and feelings. A true love is hard to find, sometimes people live their whole lives, getting married etc. without it. I found mine, but decided to leave it behind. My decision caused me a lot of pain, and still I don't know if I have done the right thing.

The other day I was walking the dog, on a rainy day, listening to the radio. A tune by Cat Stevens was played. His soft voice sang "The first cut is the deepest", I finally realized, that she was my first cut. I loved and was being loved, but never like this. She is my first cut, and it is deep. the deepest.

Listen to Cat Stevens

Few days after, I decided to make a design that will symbolize that phrase.


Here it is:

Simple, minimal but says it all.

One thing I know, those wounds heal slowly, and they never cure completely.
