Here Comes the Rooster II

Here's a painting that I completed 2 weeks ago, I really like it - it developed during the painting process and I used 3 different painting softwares just to get the desired result. An impressive orange rooster, that will wake everybody up :) The whole atmosphere in this painting is in retro style, one can really see the old faded canvas material.

By the way - the softwares that I used for this painting are - Rebelle 2 by Escape Motions | Corel Painter by Corel | Photoshop by Adobe.


Here is our guy :)

Loose Fiat 500 Digital Oil Painting

I really love those cute little European cars, especially Italians :) and decided to paint one of my all time favorites - Fiat 500!
Yes, they launched a new (and beautiful) design a few years ago, but I always prefer the good old stuff!

So.. here is my loose digital oil painting of a classic Fiat Cinquecento (500). I used the faboulous ArtRage painting software, it's just great and simulates the oil layers very well!

Here is my painting on a tote bag, you can get it on other products as well.

Popular Common Cars of the 70s - Israeli Sussita

Israeli Sussita, was a cheap and ugly car that was the pride of the local car industry in the 60s. It was made from fiberglass (and wood floor at the first models), and was as reliable as flat tire. 

However... it was the first Israeli car, and it was kind of a big deal back then. You could find it almost everywhere - it was very cheap, and it was the ideal deal for the working class, for many small businesses/ industry. 

The car was just a mishmash of random car parts from ford (England) and other manufacturers, it was an odd box shaped car, its nick name was "The Cube".   

You can't see those car anymore on the streets, but once in a while one can stumble upon a "Cube", the encounter will surly bring some nostalgic sentiment, and yearning for simpler, and naive times. 

Here is my version of the "Cube"

 

You can purchase this illustration on my Online Digital Art Shop.

Check it out on a shirt 

It might be suitable only for die hard fans :) But hey! It is a piece of history (and kind of a jock).

Illustration of a Modern Classic Family Car - Peugeot 404

Hi there!

Here is the next illustration from the series " Popular Common Cars of the 70s - The Peugeot 404!

When I was a kid, I just loved this car, it seemed so royal and beautiful to me, the design was extraordinary, and you could spot this car miles away. It was really unique, especially for a mid-low price range car.

Here is the illustration :

I love the French flag colors behind, too :)

Here is the illustration on a Tshirt,

Cool huh? You can get the illustration on other products as well on my Digital Art Shop.

Illustration of a Modern Classic Mini Car - Fiat 127

Hi there

Get ready for our next common popular car of the 70s. This one was a legendary mini car - the Fiat 127!

This one was my personal favorite as a kid, my uncle had one, and I couldn't wait to drive it, too bad I was 7 years old :) Back in the mid/late 80s those cars disappeared from the streets, I guess they had some mechanical issues and couldn't survive for a long time.

Anyway I created an illustration of this super cute car, check it out:

Here is this cutie on a Tshirt

Cool huh? You can find this "Macchina Italiana" on my Digital Art shop and purchase your own product :)

Until the next car, have a wonderful day!

Too Old to Rock n Roll, and Too Young to Die

The other day I was taking a long walk with my dog, listening to the radio. It was a good-old classic rock program, with some gems. But the song that caught my attention was Jethro Tull's "Too old to rock n roll, too young to die". This phrase made me think about myself - I am to old to party all night, yet still young enough... stuck in the middle in a way :)

This phrase made me reflect and think. I thought I could create a cool design that will honor the phrase, and its meaning.

The phrase was designed in retro style, which makes us feel like in an old rock bar. I wanted to pay a  respect to those decades. The letters blend with the guitar, and complete it.

You can purchase this design on my Redbubble shop, you can hang it on the wall, wear it, or carry it as a smartphone cover.


I definitely will create more classic rock designs, I'm sure that many songs and phrases that move me will touch others too...

Oh wait... here is the song that inspired me :

Have a wonderful day!

2 Retro Style Dog Doodles

Hi there,

Sometimes I just want to doodle something, just for fun, or to pass time. This time I wanted to scribble a Dalmatian, those gorgeous creatures with all their impressive spots. As a pet portrait artist I'm used to paint a highly detailed dog portraits, but sometimes it is nice to take a little step backwards and to create a simple yet sophisticated portrait.

Check out my cute Dalmatian doodle :)

It was so cute, that I decided to put it on some products - check out these cool Dalmatian Tote Bag! and Shirt

I was happy with the results and decided to scribble another dog that has a lot of character in its face - a Bull Terrier!

I will keep scribbling some more cool dog doodles, it is so much fun!


Until the next time, have a wonderful day :)

A Cat (Old Children Book Style)

Many years ago I got the classic Alice in Wonderland as a birthday gift. The book as you know is magnificent, but the illustrations are marvelous too, they immediately captured my eyes. In a matter of fact many illustrations of those old children books have a magical and mysterious feel.

Those images waited in the back of my mind for many years... Until now.

Two weeks ago I took some photos at the local dog shelter, one of the photos (of a cat) wasn't so good, but the composition and the shadows have triggered my imagination. Take a look at the picture:

I started to sketch using graphite, and those old children books images took over the paper. I really liked the final result: 

Retro Cat Portrait, Old Nostalgic Book Style Print

I definitely going to sketch some more images using this magical style.  

Gorgeous Retro Pattern in Blue Tones

Hi there,

I just finished to design a background for a client who ordered a custom pet portrait on DigitalDogPortraits.com, and  I just fell in love with it! It looks simple but it's quite sophisticated and has a certain calm feeling. I wanted to make a random pattern, I've painted squares without a certain order, and washed it with an urban filter. The result was too good, that it was a crime just to waste it on a single background. So I've created this cushion.

This cushion is a perfect match for a stylish and retro style Home Decor. Place it on your living room, in the guest room, or maybe even in your office. I have the feeling that everybody will fall in love with it, just like I did!

Chocolate Banana-Punch Pattern

Hi there,

I am on the roll with the vintage patterns :)
Today I decided to mix a nostalgic combination of colors - pink, brown, yellow and light blue. Why nostalgic? In the late 70's early 80's, when I was a child, there was a very popular ice cream flavor - chocolate, banana punch. It wasn't my favorite flavor, but now I think of it very fondly, good times.
It's a simple but very lovely and optimistic vintage pattern, take a look:

I could imagine this pattern on a pillow or on a bag - it looks great!

That's it for today, thank you for visiting :)

Photography - Pit Bull / Churchill

Hi there,

Last week I went to see a graffiti exposition at the old Jaffa port. I took my camera with me and I'm gonna show you some photos from it next week. Anyway, when I came back I saw my dog chewing an eatable cigar, and he looked so funny. I immediately pulled the camera and took a picture of him.
I did a little bit of post production, to give it a retro and edgy feel.

Take a look :

Doesn't he look like Churchill? :)

Pop Art - Retro Style Hi Top Converse All Star

Hi there,

Maybe some of you have noticed that I'm very fond of 70s-80s retro style items. It reminds me my childhood and more innocent times. This time I wanted to make a tribute to the all time retro style sneaker - the classic navy (blue) hi top Converse All Star (Chuck Taylor). Though this shoe is almost 100 years old, it always reminds me the 80s, it was extremely popular in that decade.

I decided to make a Vector Art image of the sneaker, and to use an orange background to enhance the retro feel. The image is semi realistic.

I Just love this sneaker and wanted to show my appreciation :)

Because it's such a popular-culture icon, it deserves its own Pop Art portrait! Like any other famous personality, heck it is more popular than Marilyn Monroe (I assume :)).

So I honored the sneaker with this:

Yeah... I really like those shoes :)

Purchase this Tshirt or other products with this design 

You can purchase this All Star illustration, on Tshirts, phone cases, and on other cool products - at RedBubble

Digital Art - Worn Vintage Style

Hi there!

Yesterday I wanted to create something different from the regular art that I usually do. So I played around, thinking and thinking, and finally I decided to create a Vintage pattern. I was using photoshop to create the basic pattern. I was thinking about circles, squares, some retro colors, and the final result was this :

I was quite happy, but I felt something was missing... the pattern, the colors and the geometrical figures were perfect for me, but I felt the the feel is not there yet, I wanted more used touch.

Suddenly it hit me! everybody is posting vintage-like photos, using apps like instagram or pixlr-o-matic, in order to create an instant retro feel. I don't like to use those apps, but just for this case, I thought, let's give it a try, let's see how those apps will work with digital art.
I just wanted the final touch, and after several experiments, I found the correct one, take a look:

The worn and used feel that I've been looking for!

I could really imagine this pattern on some products, and well... you'll be the judge :

Worn Vintage Style Pillow

Is it true vintage or what? :)
