ELBI

Elbi-walking in the footsteps of giants. The cover illustration

This week saw the publishing of a new edition of a children’s book, written by Yair Lapid and illustrated by yours faithfully with great pleasure.

The book is a mental rollercoaster evolving around an heroic medieval knights story.

The hero; Elbi is a young eligible knight invested entirely in the quest of releasing his beloved Eleni from the hands of the ferocious , vicious queen Concenta Cylmus.

The story is a breathless affair of endless action and mind challenging  events.

It reveals an entirely new dimension of  knight life in medieval times.

It is above all illegally funny and highly recommended.

Here is a link to a review (in Hebrew) of the book in ynet

Israel 61- Cover

A Week  ago, the state of Israel celebrated its 60th birthday.

The particular and complex state of affairs of Israel, invited the idea of writing a speculative Utopian article, trying to portray Israel future.Yair Lapid, wrote, and I have as always, enjoyed  giving my visual commentary to the written words. (Yedioth Aharonot, special supplement for independence day )

Water: Drought and desalination

Law: trials would run around the clock until a verdict is reached

Peace: embracing the foundations of the state

Environment: simply, becoming 'greener'
