Wanted to share something I did recently even though I'm swamped with so many other things with (life, work, friends, family, preparations, dealing with paper work, filing, post offices and bills, along with stuck in my next project...).
So, here is the art work for the magazine project I did for my friend. This first draft was my intial idea... it's with watercolors... but I wasn't able to execute the tone/feeling I was looking for...Which basically brought me to this. I first drew up these two characters who were to be frustrated and indifferent. They were meant for an article under "Hebrew: A Difficult Language". Another article in the magazine was dealing with the new tourist attraction here in Jaffa with the German Colony and Train Station. So for the cover he asked me to put these two guys with some kind of back setting. The first picture was not liked or accepted. After discussing with them further, the second one was liked approved right away. When I was asked to do this specific work, my friend was already 2 weeks behind schedule and stressing. Because of playing games between him and the magazine people, it took me 2 weeks more for everything to finally get done. Thus, due to the situation, I drew everything really quickly and colored it all in photoshop. Yea, I know there's a real stale and cartoony feeling to the whole thing which I'm not too proud of either, but someone else was, so that's all that matters.
These two characters (right) are supposed to be arguing. If you notice the hand gesture of the guy on the left in blue, it is a very popular Israeli thing to use for many different reasons like wait, excuse me, no way, vulgar curse, and I'm sure the list goes on).
