Welcome Back


I'm working my ass for about a week and some and it is a hard work building a stage for a dance company that want the people to see the show from beneath - means the viewers are going to seat under the stage - anyway its good money - and I need it.
About the job interviews I went to a few (something like 8 interviews) some of them I went coz I wanted to check my self out and see how I handle it, some coz the job was interesting and some I really don't know why I did. Anyhow some want you some don't and about the Opera the job I really want well.... I went through the first interview with the props department and now I got an interview with the opera human resources manager and a graphologist (why?) and its like a week or more between one to the other and well I want the job I think I can tribute to them as much as they can tribute to me - an I think they want me so . . . . What Da fuck why drag it so long I need a job - if not by the end of this month I'll have to take something (means a job) and I want it to be the set designer at the Opera, I don't wanna wait coz I need an apartment till the end of the month and I ain't gonna sign for one if I don't have money to pay the rent.

so... ahhhhhhhhhhh I'll stop bitching for now, just got the new Jurassic 5 album - Feedback and I'm gonna seat down and listen to it - we where waiting a long time for this one to come out - so.... Till next time love and care.

Going to the Opera

Hey, I'm going to the Opera, yes I am, well.......Not really I got a job interview, yeah a job interview at the opera, a job at the opera - me ?
who would have believe - not me ! Any way its for how do I say it well this is how they put it - 'designing and manufacturing accessory's, building sets, fixing sets and basic carpentry' well..... Wish me luck coz first I need a job, really, no more money in the bank already overdraft. Second I got to evacuate my apartment by the end of this month so if I got no job and no apartment I'm gonna be in big problem out to the street and shit well.....That's it for now gonna relax and see a movie - 'Bedknobs and Broomsticks' a Disney flick from 1971 I saw it when I was a kid and found it three days ago so now I got the time to see it so..... Later.

On Music, Books and Movie


Well I went around blogs lately and, well ... I thought about the stuff we all (or at least some of the bloggers) write about their most favorite book or movie and I got back and checked mine and I had - again - a problem writing about the stuff I like so.... Here's as we say on the tip of the fork what I thought about my relations with music movies and books in very short sentences.
good night.


about movie's : wow I never thought to collect anything but its just happens, I guess so.... Now I got like more then 400 DVD's and growing and I cant help it. I'm a freak. Last movie I saw and really liked was 'Everything Is Illuminated' for the story (I love a good story and this one is really good story telling), and for the pass the time action not to think too much speedy needy adrenalin 'District B13'.

about music:same as the movie's I'm a music freak too. I can't see my life with out it. I need it 24/7 and that collection is growing too. I hear almost everything I can. Music is life(for me most of the time). Right now in my stereo are - Gogol Bordello, Leningrad, Matisyahu, System of a down, Ramones, Pearl Jam, Red Hot chili Peppers, Fiona Apple, Peeping Tom and That 1 guy.

I love to read and well that's hard. Well the last one that left me in really good mood was - American Gods - by : Neil Gaiman (like 2 or 3 years ago), and the comics - DEMO - by : Brian Wood & Becky Cloonan. Right now I finished a book about Japan modern history, and I'm rereading 'The Club Dumas' by Arturo Perez-Reverte.


(on the photo's you can see the cover fro 'Everything Is Illuminated' soundtrack, Leningrad - made in the ass, the new Mars Volta - Amputechtureand and my Godfather of rock my Godfather for music the Man the 1 and only I bring you Muddy Waters)

I hate Freelance !!!! I think !!!!!


I hate freelance jobs, I do , I really hate them. Mainly coz I don't have a regular one, the one you hate (well you don't have to) but the one you wake up every morning (and it doesn't have to be a 9 to 5 job) and go to. So....When you got one and you get to do a freelance job it's cool you get more money by the end of the month or whenever you get paid - but - when all you do is freelance - one month is cool and the others can be jobless. I can rant all day coz right now I got Bobckes, I got Nada, Gurnishet, Ziltch, Zero, Nothing . . . I got no job no one wants me.


Well now I got time to write, to spill my guts all around this place so.... I did business cards (or calling card if you want) for the exhibition so people can remember me or my work, now, you don't do that coz you think somebody will call you , well I don't think somebody will call me anyway. But you do that. So the idea is to make it (the biz card) cool so the people that take it (first of all will take it) and then when they look at it at home or wherever mainly not near your work they'll remember the work. That's good right ? But you don't want it (again the card) to be too cool or nice coz you don't want everyone that walks by your work will take one and when its really needed coz there are designers and scouts that are coming and you want them to have one to take.
well I'm talking rubbish aren't I well I'm tired from looking for a job and all the ones I really wants are already taken - like I missed them in a week - but that's how it is its the end of the year (a university year) so everybody is looking for a job and only a fuck up like me wanna make toys. (I really tried not to curse but it slipped at the end - sorry!)

the picture is a never to be release "kill Da Bunee" issue for Toy2R that I did and hate there for will never send too.

This illustrations are not really finished in my book but when you got a tight schedule to finish you cut corners - Thats why in my opinion the illustrations are not really finished ... but hey im happy with them and theyr doing the job so... fuck it.

The Leg'LeSS




i had in high school a sport/geography teacher who had one leg. he lost it in a war (one of them), but he was o.k. well it was high school and he was a teacher so i think we didnt liked him becouse he was a teacher - one of them - it was a cool place this school so who know's maybe he was o.k.. so........... i thought about making him a cool sport teacher who got one leg and a regular prostetic one - but he got another prostetic with a wheel and jet power shit so he can save students with astma attacks when they go running. well thats Shabtai Kohen short story.
