I am a 26 y/o illustrator / graphic designer from Israel. Despite its difficulties, I try to make the most out of living there. People have this crazy vision of how Israel looks like, or what happens here – some true some not – either way, it's a stressful place to be. So unless you're disconnected from the world you live in, this place is an eye-opener, sort of a stimulator for a creative mind.
 
In fact, it wasn't Israel that made me do what I do but the great city of London. In my post-army-service trip, I went to London, which was a real turning point for me – all of a sudden, drawing, sketching; looking became more than a hobby – it became everything, a crucial ingredient for all our lives. Hard to explain really, but it's everywhere, affects everyone in this way or another, and when done right…. It's so damn beautiful. The colors, the images, everything.
 
So I am then back in Israel and start doing it, up until today; drawing, designing, thinking, being inspired by things that surround my life. I live, sort of a normal life right next to Tel-Aviv and besides my severe addiction to music (especially the loud and aggressive genres), I enjoy the urban life style of the area, can't live without the city, skateboarding, street-arts and anything else involved.
