I’m fascinated by typographers. Somewhere, deep down I wish I would have what it takes to sit hours after hours and design the best next font. Who am I kidding… I should leave it to the pros and in this case, the guys behind the brand new Alef Alef Alef, house of fonts. Nadav Barkan, the one behind the Sticks and Stones font is one of my favorites. Nadav decided to create the symbols that mark significant milestones in weapons development.‬ It’s also a visual interpretation of Einstein’s statement that “in the end, despite all the technological developments, humanity will return to the starting point”.

Tam.2311 | Tamar Dovrat | Beauty and The Beast

|January 8, 2012

Tamar Dovra aka “Tam | 2311″ is a really bright and colorful surprise. I haven’t heard about her till now, but now that I know her name, I feel like it’s gonna be a love story between myself and her oh so cutesy Beastly Illustrated Brooches. The fact that she illustrates each and every piece by hand is mad crazy! It makes me appreciate her twice more!

World Break | Oliver Jeffers | Coffee in Crime

|January 5, 2012

I have an issue with coffee. There is no point in denying it. Take one look at my Instagram feed and you’ll know exectly what I’m talking about. Anyways, when I first stumbled upon Oliver Jeffers’s A World With Coffee, for a moment it felt like I have a partner in crime out there. I get SO many worried comments regarding my coffee habits that I think I needed to find Oliver sooner than later. I looked all over to find more of his coffee illustrations but no luck so far. Oliver, if you hear me, please share some more of these life saving creations!

Maya Shleifer | Bumpy Ride

|December 21, 2011

Experiencing Maya Shleifer’s train rides through her eyes and doodles makes me consider buying my own ticket just for the sake of starring… Yep, I’m one of these people who don’t get tired of starring and making up stories about other people’s life… So, when I first stumbled upon Maya’s “In The Train” it felt like I’ve already seen all these people and kinda know their stories… There is something quite endearing and touching with the way Maya captures all these moments with only black ink and bumpy rides.
It feels like a gloomy Wednesday so maybe that’s why my thoughts are gloomy as well…

Zohara Tights | Illustrated Legs

|November 2, 2011

Are you in favor of tights and leggings? Is it your thing? I’m not really sure if this piece of clothing is right for me BUT… After bumping into the world of Zohara and seeing in person the illustrations that one can wear on her legs I think there is still time to rethink it all over. Oh and the great thing about it all is “every year a select number of Artists from around the world bring a different perception of art to the collection.” There is nothing I like more than a bunch of talented designers working on a joint project.
FYI, the mind behind Zohara is Dana Rapaport.

Holon Fashion Week 2011 | Roll Up The Curtains!

|October 24, 2011

I’ve been counting the days till the people behind the Design Museum Holon roll up the curtains for the 2011 Fashion week and today is the day. You can read about it right here.
The visuals that go hand in hand with the campaign are one of the most eye catching and intriguing I’ve seen around here! Having the influence of the digital age on the design world in mind, Guy Saggee and Maayan Levitzky, used only a utility Knife to create “new magazines”, where the main visual is made of lots of layers and meanings.
BTW, Guy is known as the foxy Shual design studio.

Student Break | Lee Schein | Anthropological Journey into The Wild

|August 14, 2011

Sometimes, I find myself daydreaming about a book i just read and seeing myself living in it’s imaginary world. It’s not that strange, right? When, Lee Schein, a fresh graduate of the Visual Communications Department at WIZO Haifa Academy of Design and Education, Sent in her wild creatures I discovered her imaginary world of monsters with their super chic clothes and impeccable style. Other than that, Lee uses only black as her weapon, giving black new meaning as a colorful color.
BTW, I forgot to mention that as part of Lee’s journey she created textile accessories. Told you they are stylish creatures!

World Break | Coni Della Vedova | Spanish Colors

|July 24, 2011

When Coni wrote me about her work, a few weeks ago, I was intrigued by the process behind the scenes and Coni was kind enough to share with us some pics. I love the fact that all of Coni’s work is being done by hand. It looks like you need some muscles to get the job done or as Coni likes to say “it’s the type of work that makes your hands hurt… but it gives you great joy after seeing the printed result!”
At this moment I’m loving Coni’s Do What You Love | Love What You Do print but there is a lot more where that came from at her etsy shop.

World Break | Paris vs NYC | Today It’s Defiantly Paris!

|July 14, 2011

You didn’t think I’ll let this day slip by without mentioning the Bastille Day, right? So… I am a bit conflicted when it comes to NYC vs Paris, someone who actually did something creative to help me! Well, creative is not the right word, lets try ah-mazing, wicked, smart, funny… you name it.
Are you a NYC or Paris person? I guess you have to take a side. Well, you know where I stand ;) I wrote about it not once but even twice but I still adore Paris.
Thank you Vahram Muratyan for your Frenchilicous creation.
Joyeux Quatorze Juillet!

Lital Gold | Heaven On Earth

|July 13, 2011

There is something quite intriguing and mysterious in Lital Gold’s never ending burst of colors and shadows. Since graduating last year from the Textile Design Department at Shenkar College of Engineering and Design, Lital is in drive mode! She keeps on going and going and with each and every sketch I get another glimpse of her inner soul (quite deep, I know but… that’s the way I feel).

Handsome Fellas | Stop The Vom | Green is The New Black

|July 7, 2011

I’ve been waiting for this moment ever since I wrote about the greenish duo Rabtus & Cumber, then again, who can resist a half-rabbit half-cactus (Rabtus) and a pickle (Cumber)? Not me!
Handsome Fellas a.k.a Miki Mottes and Ziv Meltzer are the power couple behind this drop dead green mobile game Stop The Vom.
“Rabtus is stuck on a swing (it’s all Cumber’s fault, they always trick each other!) and your goal is to tilt your device to stabilize the swing and prevent Rabtus from vomiting. With Papinoy, Tantzaba and other good and bad creatures you’re gonna have to tap or avoid tapping, it ain’t gonna be easy!”
So… Ready, Set, Stop The Vom!

Maegami | Shira Roginkin | Illustrated Emotions

|June 26, 2011

When you take your graduation project to the next level the sky is the limit. That’s what happed to Shira Roginkin just after graduating from the Fasion Design Department at Shenkar College of Engineering and Design. I’ll tell you all about her ah-mazing accessories line in the near future but first I want to share with you her colorful and powerful illustrated world. When drawing, Shira thinks about the world and how it exists outside our minds. Her desire is for people, who look at it to have a “moment” and reflect upon their own experiences and emotions.

An’ka | Anna Mirkin | Glass Reality

|June 10, 2011

Anna Mirkin, the gal behind An’ka, had nature museums in mind, while making her latest T-shirt collection. The fact that it captures flowers, birds and all kinds of animals behind glass made her reflect on life and the modern lifestyle with it’s conventions. Anna named it all “Natural history of you” and I must admit that it makes me appreciate her trying to deal with some heavy and emotional stuff while working on a T-shirt collection. Thank you for this one Anna!
