Zebra Doodle

Hi there!

As you know by now, I like to scribble animals doodles from time to time. This time I wanted to create a black and white image, a simple one yet with an edge.

After finishing the zebra, I thought it would be cool to add an old wrinkly piece of paper as background.

You can purchase this illustration on my Digital Art shop , as an Art Piece or on various products.

You can find it in my Redbubble Art Shop too.

Until the next time, have a wonderful day!

I Am Just a Cow!

Here is another quick fun loose painted doodle, that I created for my own relaxation and enjoyment :)
I deliberately kept all the loose lines and the blue uneven colors, I wanted to keep the graffiti/urban feel on this one.

It also looks great on shirts, pillows and many other products.

Here is a tote bag for urban cow lovers

More loose sketches are coming! Have a great day people :)

Digitally Painted Alley Cat

Hi there,

Last week I wanted to draw something quickly, since I'm a pet portrait artist, I paint mostly dogs. This time I wanted to sketch a cat. Quickly and loosely. I finished the sketched and started to paint it freely. One thing lead to another and I found myself looking at a dirty, tough alley cat, lying in a dark street. I kept the sketchy lines in order to keep a rough and urban ambiance.

I really liked the result and decided to share it with you.

Intense Looking Baboon Face - Watercolor

Hi there,

I wanted to paint something different this time, something more loose, freestyle. I saw a portrait of a serious looking baboon with his bold face colors, and decided to paint it in (even more) dramatic style. I've used watercolors in several layers, and some pastels for the eyes, beard and fur. I was surprised with the reaction of the people who saw it. They were stunned and impressed, I guess that the whole piece looks intense and eye catching. The penetrating eyes and the bold vibrant colors make the trick.

Old and Blue

A few months ago I've stumbled upon an old book of a famous Israeli photographer, Rudi Weissenstein. He was capturing the Holly Land since the 30's or so... his work was mainly capturing landscapes and the ambiance of the early days in the new country. I really like those old photographs, imagining how was to live back then...
Everything looks more mysterious and magical in black and white, but clearly those people had the same emotions and everyday conflicts like all of us.

I was looking at one of Rudi's favorite portraits of an old man praying, and I thought that he actually looks tired and sad - he was old and blue.

Using watercolor and graphite I started to paint my own version, coloring it with the color of sadness - blue.

Take a look at the final result

Can you feel the emotion? Do you feel sometimes old and blue yourself?

On another note..
Lately I've created many new pieces that I haven't published yet... but I promise to publish them soon - so stay tuned :)

Hope you enjoyed this post, have a great day!

Bananas - Colored Sketch

Hi there!

Using various graphic software and digital brushes is fun, but sometimes there's something about a good old, down to earth art, with some old school equipment like pencil and paper. Oh... and a live model (in this case my model was a banana ;)). It is very refreshing just to sit down and start drawing quickly, without any preparations or interruptions (when I'm using graphic software, sometimes it takes forever just to start painting). All I wanted to draw was a rough sketch of this glorious fruit, and to make it as interesting as I can. After I've finished the drawing, I thought that it would be a good idea to paint the bananas with vibrant color, just to stand out. I really like the result. It looks rough yet compelling.

Take a look :

While looking for a suitable quote for this sketch (like I always do), I've found those 3 funny quotations:
"Times flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana" - Groucho Marx
"Intellectual property has the shelf life of a banana" - Bill Gates
"I'm getting so old, I don't even buy green bananas anymore" - Chi Chi Rodriguez

And last but not least :) a cute Brazilian song by Jorge Ben - "O Vendedor de Bananas" - The Banana Seller

Have a lovely Day!

Contemporary Elvis

Hi there!

4 days ago I heard  some Elvis' songs in the radio, it was his 36th annual day of his death. I grew up listening to his music, and saw many of his shows on TV. He was kind of a childhood icon (though he passed away when I was an infant). I decided to draw him, but in a different kind of style. More contemporary, an alternate take if you will. His hair style and his general look were adjusted to the new millennium :)

His portrait and the previous Marilyn Monroe gave me the inspiration to sketch other super icons in non conventional way. Stay tuned!
