SHALOM!
Welcome to my website!
I am an experienced freelance illustrator, cartoonist, and art director.
I mainly illustrate children's books, and I've illustrated dozens of picture books for all the major publishing houses in Israel.
I have been working as the editorial illustrator for the Makor Rishon newspaper for over a decade, as well as working as a cartoonist in Hashiloach, a journal of thought and policy.
I studied classical art with well-known, contemporary painters, drawing and painting in various media. I also studied animation and character design, graphic design and print production.
I live in Israel with my wife and sweet children.
