The week I left Rotterdam back in summer 2008 my dear friends got me a digital camera, believe it or not I still use the same camera till this very day, funny enough I never had a chance to actually shoot Rotterdam. So, here I am again, loaded with new skills and a fresh eye to hunt the city that gave me so much over the past decade…

When my dear friend Chris Dyer asked me if I wanted to design a skateboard deck for Creation skateboards I jumped out of my seat and screamed ‘YES!!!! HELL YEAH!’. Basically I have been a skater for more then 20 years now and one of my greatest influences in life is the art of skateboarding and the endless creative flow which comes from the amazing designs I have seen over the years, for me to design a deck is one of the most beautiful joys I can experience, a skate deck is one of my favorite forms to play with, as a designer and as a skater.
So, here we go, my lastest design for Creation skateboards which will be in this years fall/winter collection, so excited, cant wait to skate on this baby!

Shtetl Magazine is an online publication that examines a wide-range of topics and themes within Arts & Culture. Like the radio show, Shtetl Magazine’s brand of journalism seeks to be inclusive, honest and entertaining . We want to know what the artists are up to. What the social activists are struggling with. Where do faith and ritual fit into a contemporary Jewish life? Where are all the funky places that Judaism intersects with other cultures? No topic is too sensitive or taboo for Shtetl Magazine. It’s only through discussion that we can build a living, breathing and healthy community!
I had the privilege to be contacted by Shtetl Magazine to do a radio interview at the Fresh Paint Galley in Montreal giving a little bit of my perspective about the art scene around me and life as an artist in general, it was a good day and we have lots of interesting points to discuss.
You can listen and download the radio show right here on their site:

Back in summer 2011 I had the pleasure of meeting Sivan Askayo who is a very talented and driven photographer, we only had one day to share so we took it to the streets of Tel-Aviv and went for a spin in different locations and assorted conversations, since then we became friends (mostly online) who like to share creative ideas and promote each other.
Sivan has a fantastic blog where she expose her artworks and a wide variety of different subjects from her traveling life, she contacted me not long ago to be a part of her blog and answer a few questions about myself and my art and also show some images from my time in Tel-Aviv. O what fun!

Life is nothing but a collection of memories, fading away… If you want to hold on to something you better learn to let go.
‘My Faded Memoirs & The Power of One is the title of my latest Art installation at the amazing ‘Fresh Paint’ Gallery in the heart of downtown Montreal. It’s my expression of lost and found parts of my life, a mix and match of ever growing and slowly fading styles and skills, it’s about the changing of times and the shifting of the awareness of the self.
It’s a massive piece and by far my biggest one to date. As the days go by I will upload slowly my progress and show you a little bit how things are done here at the fallen angel district.
Big love and admiration to the Fresh Paint gallery crew for supporting and pushing the Street scene to the next level.
You can check more events of the gallery in their fan page here:

Here are some images from the process, I will keep uploading as I move along.[/wide]

” I hate whipped creme. I would have been better suited to this shoot when I was still going to the Timmy-Ho’s with my dad and hadn’t outgrown my sweet tooth. Also, I don’t really like dairy products. Also, dipping sweet pastries into whipped creme is like taking coals to Newcastle.”

‘Enter Enter’ (Kansu Kansu in Hebrew) is the theme song from Ilan green’s new upcoming album also titled ‘Enter Enter’. The song is dealing with the everyday life under the shadows of big tycoons and advancing technologies. The new videoclip is out and composed from images taken by Adi Khavous while spending time in the ever growing Social justice demonstrations in Tel-Aviv, summer 2011.
.
The album is a wonderful piece of art, the music is powerful and soulful and the layout design is unique being the first 3D al bum ever made in Israel which I was honored to provide the cover photo. check it if you can, it is in Hebrew but we all know that good music has a language of it’s own, so rock on!
I decided a week ago to join the FotoBlur social network, it’s a sweet little network that promotes and espouse new and fresh talents in the visual media industry. I joined in for fun, just wanted to try it out, nothing special so far, but this time I decided to not bomb the site with all round images from my arsenal but to keep it simple and tight, so I just uploaded images from my Fine Art collection ‘Exposure Exposure’ and in matter of a couple of days one of my shots already make it to the from community page, nice! so I call this a good start.

Zooz Interactive Magazine has just lunched their new issue (#8) representing different artists from Israel that decided to explore their art and passion outside of their home country, so, guess who’s in it?!? THAT’S RIGHT! (page 38&39) sadly for all my fans that cant read Hebrew its going to be hard for you to decrypt it so I decided to place the original text in English here.
Here are some Screen shots from the site itself, CLICK HERE TO GO TO THE SITE!
The first time I came to Montreal was a few years ago when I came with my band (SpoonLicker) to record our debut album. I had never been to Canada before so I had no idea how this place would look or how it would affect me.
From the moment I landed I noticed the difference: The wilderness, the gigantic size of everything, the fresh air, the kindness of the local people and mostly, the freezing cold. Nothing had prepared me for this in all my traveling years (which by then had reached its 10th year!).
After a few weeks into the process I had already decided in my heart that I wanted to move here: things just seemed to click for me. I’ve never seemed to fit in anywhere and the more time I spent in Canada I felt at home. They always say there is a time and a place for everything, and for me it was Canada and the time had come.
After a few months in the countryside I learned to master calmness and enjoy the wild life that was all around me, I finally had all the time in the world to dive deep into my hobbies and really enjoy creativity for my own sake. There is also something magical being totally alone in a place so quiet it hurts your ears and makes you see clearly in pitch dark.
Once I was at peace I decided to move to the big city, Montreal. I felt it was time to share my knowledge and experience with the rest of the world. Little did I know the city would teach me more than I had to teach it.
Montreal is a magnificent place to be an artist or a musician or a passionate spirit for that matter. There is a certain acknowledgement here for people with hunger for creation and expression: everybody seems to be doing something cool and creative. The city’s populace is very educated and there is a lot of respect for the arts. There is a big invisible welcome sign here for anyone who wants to be a part of the local culture scene and donate her/his piece of mind and heart. For me, this city simply rocks: it is big yet feels like a little home town, there are different areas each of which has its own magic and flavor: no matter what your style is you will be able to find a friend and someone who will know exactly what you mean and how to take it to the next level.
Some cities are very fast, others are super slow, some have a massive industry and some have none at all. Montreal is just in the middle of all of this: nothing too fancy or too cheap; no big heroes or rock stars, but everyone is shinning with their own special light. People here seem to love what they do and they don’t mind sharing that experience and welcome you into their lives.
My art and music here has moved much faster than anywhere else I have lived before, maybe it’s because I feel as if I am swimming in a steady stream with friendly fishes around me, maybe it’s because I don’t need to fight for everything with my teeth bared or maybe it’s simply because it’s so freaking cold I turn into a productive zombie-mean-machine for half of the year. But don’t let the cold fool you, once it’s sunny Montreal turns into a non-stop festival town with one after the other throughout the entire summer, art, music and cultural events that would please every creative soul.
This city has a drive, some kind of a magnetic force and it mostly comes from the people who live and work in it, there is a sense of community and well-being here and for me it’s exactly what I need in my life at the moment. I want to create and share more here than anywhere else. I feel that I am learning everyday something new and that this city is welcoming me for whomever I may be. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not all peaches and cream. Lots of people here can barely pay the rent (including myself), but at least here I don’t feel alone or as if the walls around me are caving in. There is a sense of space here and no one is breathing down your neck.
Bottom line is that Montreal is a fantastic little mega city that embraces culture and socially creative human beings. You will definitely be inspired here to do something powerful with your life or just take a breather from all the madness around this sweet beautiful island. Every day that passes here I realize more that I am falling deeply in love with this place and I am not even close to figuring out why.

Nice indeed.

I finally took some time to post all the images of the promo shoot I did with Useless ID back when I was in Israel, since the album is out now there is a sweet hype around it and the images are showing up in different music sites, nice one!
SO CHECK THIS PAGE to see the full collection!
Fat Wreck Chords is thrilled to welcome Useless ID from Tel Aviv to the Fat family! They will be releasing their debut Fat album titled Symptoms on February 14th, 2012. This for me is super exciting news, specially because I know the Useless boys for more then 20 years now. I’ve seen them rise from a mini skater punk scene in Haifa, Israel to a full blown hard punk rock master plan band, touring all over the world and delivering top quality mayhem, probably one of my favorite bands of all times. Back in summer 2011 when I was stock in Israel the band approached me to do some promo shots for the new upcoming album titled Symptoms, I was more then honored to play along since we never had the chance to work together, we did a super fast, undercover guerilla shoot with massive post production to refine the edges and came up with some fantastic moments that will slowly rise online as the album release date approaches. Enjoy and Rock on!
Here is the link for the News on Fat Wreck Chords website: http://www.fatwreck.com/

Here are screen shots from the different sites the shots are in…
Useless ID is moving forward with their upcoming album titled ‘Symptoms‘ so obviously the world wide net will also start promoting them, specially after they have been signed to Fatwreck Records which is probably one of the biggest Punk Rock record label on the market. So, naturally the shots I took for them back in the days last year in Israel will start blooming online, so here is another site promoting them and one of the shots we did together. rock on boys and much success on your new album.

ARTWORKS is Glassworks Amsterdam’s platform for young artists. Every 2-3 months, we welcome new talent on our walls, and launch the exhibition in style with a preview evening that gathers art lovers from the world of advertising, fine art, fashion, new media and film.
The concept of bringing art and people together outside of the usual gallery setting, has proven extremely popular, with Artworks’ relaxed, intimate events becoming part of Amsterdam’s creative social scene.
ARTWORKS contacted me early January 2012 to display my latest artistic creation on their ever growing impressive blog, I was flattered and very happy to help out, I send them lots of my creations and let them pick their favorites, and so they did, I always love to see what different bloggers pick from my art for their postings, always inspires me to see what they like most..
so, here it is: http://www.artworksamsterdam.nl/adida-fallen-angel/
You should take some time to check their site, it’s full with great art and fascinating talented souls.
Fallen Angel from Daniel Wechsler on Vimeo.
-May 2011 – A night session with Adida Fallen Angel.
Big Newspaper, Wallpaper glue, wall, paper, night time and lots of street Art…These are my friends, we know each other well, we rise and fall like the seasons, we are not here to stay, we are here to fade away.
I met Daniel when I was stuck in Israel in 2011, it was at the Vision Tattoo shop in Tel-Aviv, I was curious about his actions since he was filming the tattoo artists in a very interesting way, I notice his passion right away and after a short talk I knew he was one of the good guys. We decided to hit the streets together, me with my post-up Artworks and him with his impressive video gear and vision, we had great time running around the streets at night and got fantastic action both from his perspective and mine. A few months passed away and everything including the artworks has faded, lucky for me Daniel took some time off and did an amazing visual compilation of that night.
Enjoy!
Check the video, it’s pretty wicked! here are some images captured from the video.

It is finally here!
The year I have been waited for my entire life, specially after I started my spiritual journey more then a decade ago, to me this is year is no different then any other but I do feel that this year the powers of the universe are as strong as they will ever be, I sense that everything is falling into place, stars are aligning and now more then ever I need to focus on the most important parts of my life which is Art, Music and the sharing of my experiences and stories with the world around me.
I understand clearly what I must do in this life time and I know that the path I’ve chose is finally falling into place like I always believed it to be, now I know it is all planed and with the power of action and faith magic can and will happen to those who wish for it.
I own much of this knowledge to my family, friends and strangers that passed me by on my traveling years, without them it would be a very lonely clueless ride, my experiences in this lifetime came from trying new things and always pushing the envelope deep into the mailbox even if sometimes the box was full or not even in the proper size for the envelope to fit!
My gut feeling tells me that this is the beginning of the end or the ending of the start, depends how you wish to see it, I know the story is actually only beginning and today is a great day to reflect and explore new possibilities, move forward with open heart, mind and spirit and take what ever comes with a smile and a sense of self respect.
All I really care about is inspiration from one another to myself and the otherway around, I know that sacrifice is a valuable part of my existence and by making the right choices with clean sound mind I am able to be here and express myself fully. Time will tell what this ripple effect will do to myself and the world around me, all I know is that I am here for a very special rezone and I must keep running fast for the ride is not even close to be over! I am ever grateful for every passing moment and looking forward to what ever this universe has lined up for me.
I love you all. seriously, you don’t even know.
My ever growing blessings of love and light to you, wishing you the best and most powerful year to come, full with adventures and passionate creations, stay positive and share your joy with the ones you love! This year is going to be magical, crazy, positively driven and endless with possibilities, I order you to live it fully, I order you to leave the past behind and grab the bull by the horns, stop bitching and complaining and get off your ass and make a difference, it is really now up to you to make this life an incredible sage story, so…..are you ready?
Adida the Rising Human…
Right.
I decided to take some time off of everything and Pimp this site to the teeth, so basically i updated every single page, woohoo! I guess I wanted to start 2012 fresh since there are lots of new things on the horizon, mostly my band’s full CD production which requires all my passion and time for the up coming months.
so, go crazy kids, check out the pages and see for yourself that everything doubled it’s size in value.
I will make more detailed blogs about different items but for now you can be assure that I am moving in full speed in freezing temperatures!
Big love and wishing you a massive powerful year to come!
Artist project of liberation of the beauty of destruction.
If you can’t let it go, light it up.
Madda flew Milan to Montreal, her only bag was carry on, but she still packed a piece of her ex. We pour our affection into objects until an H&M tshirt has a hold on us, we continue to love them long after the reason for that love is gone.
That part of our beloved becomes a part of ourselves – and still we worship it/hate it like it belongs to someone else. Finally we forget it, leave it in a closet, find something(someone) new to idolise.
But for those who like a clean break, I recommend some lighter fluid and matches.

INSIDE OUT is a large-scale participatory art project that transforms messages of personal identity into pieces of artistic work. Upload a portrait. Receive a poster. Paste it for the world to see. I’ve been keeping my eye on JR the artist for a few years now and was very pleased when he received the 2011 TED prize award for his powerful works around the world. In September 2011 I received a phone call from a friend who also deals with photography about the fact the JR is coming to Israel once again and will bring his crew to take shots and post them on the streets of major cites such as Tel-Aviv, Haifa & Jerusalem. My friend also mentioned the possibility of us working together, right on i said, and went down the streets to capture people and send the shots back to the Insideout office, about a week later JR and his crew showed up and brought the prints and posted them on all over the land, at that time the people of Israel were preparing for a major demonstration for their basic rights for social justice, it was indeed a very powerful time for me. I didn’t have much chance to hang with the JR crew but i did get to spend a day around them as they work like ants. I am very impressed with their style of creative flow and determination, truly inspiring. So here are some of the shots i took and the post-ups they turned out to be. (The main image was taken by a dear talented friend Sivan Askayo, you can check her works HERE).
Finally! this exhibition was delicious and lots of fun, working on new artworks and mixing my style with others is one of my favorite things to do. you never know what the piece will look at the end but it always reminds me to chill, enjoy and make the best of it, most of the time we get great art. So, basically I took my time with the shots from this project, manly because I was super busy and everytime I came to take shots something happened, like my flash died or I had to run or the art misplaced itself and so on, so the shots of this projects are not my best, I know, I know, I should have taken more time or hire an assistant! either way, it was a great opening and we got good vibes going and people loved the combo artworks. I am sure we will do it again once I am back in Israel. Here are some shots of the combo Art I did with Snir Rozensal, I dropped a whole serious collection of everything with some info about the show and the other artist.
The Current Situation.
Date: 20.10.2011
Age: 36 on the dot!
Current Location: Montreal, Canada.
Current Situation: Peacefully Happy.
Further information:
This image was taken yesterday at Mega Rex studios where 1 year ago I started recording my vocals for my band’s first album (Spoonlicker/Spoonliquor). As we all know Karma fixed my past year and kicked my butt to a dark hole where I found love, light and true friendships which came from frustration and hopelessness.
Today I can finally say with an honest heart that I understand why things sometimes go the wrong way only for us to bounce back stronger and more aware of our calling on this blue planet.
I know what I want in this life and I know what I need to do to get it, this is the current situation and I wish you all to embrace yours and see with your eyes close how beautiful the picture can be once you opened it again with self awareness and acceptance, it’s never too late to break free from your old self and try something fresh and daring.
I need you in my life as a friend, if it’s virtual, physical or spiritual, without you I will never have found this knowledge and turn it into experience, you are with me thru out all of this and I owe you my greatest love and admiration.
So thank you for just being there, listening and letting me play a little part in your existence, they say that the fastest way to heaven is straight thru hell and I for once totally agree!
This is the current situation and like everything else it’s organic and will probably change before we realize but hey, that’s life right?!right!
Rock&Roll baby because daddy’s got a brand new bag!
I didn’t even had enough time to recover from the Tel-aviv demonstrations and here I am again, on the other side of the world, in the pits again with my brave people, this means that the world is changing and we pretty much had enough of bullshit!
Occupy Montreal – 15.10.11 – it has begun!
On October 15th, more than 1500 cities across the world (from the capitals to the regions) will unite and rise starting on the same day to finally give decisional power back to 99% of us rather than the 1% that currently controls it.
On October 15th, we will initiate an unprecedented dialogue that will change the world.
Join us.
Bring a tent, food, warm clothes and everything else you can.
Invite everyone you know.
The Occupation of Montreal begins October 15th at Square-Victoria, in front of the World Trade Center, Stock Exchange, Power Corporation, Quebecor, Scotia Bank, TD.
We will not be moved.

We are the 99%.
Snir Rozensal is a dear friend of mine and a very skillful artist, I have known him for more then 2 decades and seen him grow creatively and spiritually over the years. The past year I got stuck in Israel and had the privilege to watch Snir work closely, from painting to tattooing and running his business and personal life, we even got to exhibit and create together which was a delight experience for myself, before I left we realized that he doesn’t have a website which is dedicated purely to his artworks, I try to avoid building sites but for Snir I was pleased to take on this mission and I did it with pleasure and honor.
so here it is, simple, minimal and effective, just the way we like it. check it out and enjoy Snir’s Artworks, don’t be shy to let him know what you think.
Zooz is an on-line magazine from Israel, a very good magazine to be exact, it is fresh, stylish and always pushing the envelope, specially for this kind of media coming from the middle east. Back in day I did a wall piece for them with the collaboration of 2 good friends of mine, Snir & Ronit Rozensal, you can check the blog I posted about it HERE.
A few weeks ago they called me once again for another collaboration, this time the issue is about sound, the sounds of the revolution. At that time there was (and still in) a social revolution in Israel, growing from all regions of the social network I found myself spending almost everyday documenting this amazing event (you can check my shots from this experience HERE).
Zooz magazine decided to team me up with Ilan Green (another creative force) and create a powerful Audio/Visual exploration of sounds and images, using my photos from the revolution and sounds composed by pieces of audio mixed and remade by Ilan. The outcome is powerful and grabbing in it’s essence.
My goodness how times are a changing.
The past few months were extremely hard on me, I was feeling low and frustrated from my caged situation, for those who don’t know me well, here is a short story: I’ve been living outside of Israel for the past 13 years, starting in California, studying in Europe and now doing music with my band ‘Spoonlicker’ in Canada.
The past year I spend (unwillingly) stuck in Israel working on official papers to get back to Canada. It was the hardest year of my life, sleeping at friends places, paying rent there and at my place in Montreal, not been able to commit to anything, no work, no money, well, you get the picture.
Basically it was hard, still, I did a lot of artistic work which pushed me farther then i can imagine, even this new site came from that time, along with lots of new skills and artworks.
A few days ago I received my official papers to return to Canada and I am now sitting in a friends place in Montreal writing this amazing experience.
So, updates! first let me settle in and I will start uploading lots of new things that happen like: The Tunaman Jones photoshoot, Useless I.D promo shoots for the new CD, Yotam Ben horin new CD photoshoot, Buffalo 67 amazing artistic photoshoot I did with my friend Lena, a couple of mini fashion shoots I did which I cant wait to drop here, Mad Choice punk band CD cover I need to finish and place here, Snir Rozensal new website which I build in speed time, also our latest expo ‘Art thy Neighbor’ which I totally forgot about, my new Double exposure series which I love, massive session of the powerful social revolution that was taking place in Israel, Zooz magazine new videoart piece which includes my shots from the demonstrations in Israel, Gravis skate ramp paintout session with Jin-g Clothing, JR Inside-out project in Israel and more and more and more…
Not to mention the music which is going to start exploding here..
So, I am happy to be back on track, sorry for the delays and hold on to your horses because you are in for a ride of your life…
Yeah right!
P.S
The picture was taken by my friend Noa Magger, talented driven photographer.
Jin-G Half Pipe Arty 2011.
I had the privilege to join in on a really cool project in the hot summer days of Israel, the mission: paint your heart out on a skateboard ramp, I always loved the combination of art and skateboarding and now once again I have the chance to join in on the fun along side some really good artists such as: iDraw, Sorie420, Guest, Lara,
Big thanks to Jin-G Clothing, Gravis footwear and Capzoola. (Pix by the Jin-G crew)
More pix coming up soon and a delicious video coverage, o yeah!
On the 14 of June 2011 the fight to bring down the rent prices in tel-aviv has started, a tent city has popped slowly and rapidly started to grow everyday, starting at the heart of tel-aviv and growing into different cites around the country.
Starting with one girl who simply had enough and very quickly infected thousands of souls from all corners of the land and the systems they have been tired to being enslaved to.
Since I don’t really live here and I have lots of friends outside of Israel I decided to capture this amazing creation of self driven souls fighting for what they believe is right for them, I don’t care much about politics and I am not a fighter when it comes to violence or anger/hate issues but I do care about justice and I love to see something energetic growing right under my nose.
I’ve been visiting the camp grounds for a few hours every day since the first day and capture a little of what I believe was powerful to my eyes, I am one of thousands with a camera and not special in any form or shape when it comes to showing the truth, I simply click and post, what I see is what you get, I decided to share a bit of what is going on here simply because I am seeing it from an outside perspective and right now I am deep on the inside of it all…
Every single day there are more tents and more and more people are joining in on the cause, the cause itself has shifted from lowering the rent to a total change of the social and economical system, every few days I see new posters and groups forming to fight something else that was pushed under the table, it really feels like a massive united frustration front fighting to shift the system to something worth living for.
So, here we go, I will upload a few pix everyday as the mission for justice continues..
VIVA LA REVOLUTION!!!!!
I believe an artist (anyone with a certain unexplained passion for creative exploration) has a duty to keep pushing his or her limits, keep pushing their own desire to excel in what they love and keep checking and rechecking their impact on their environment in which has a powerful connection to their flow, this being said, I here display you with one of the most powerful self exploring artistic peek of my creative exploration, a mix of madness and peace, love and hate, bliss and desperation, all captured in the middle of know where with a full open hand and heart to the unknown, only to be left alone with a stranger and a camera and lots of time to find ones true calling and ability to capture it and figure the outcome, if ever…
On the 24 & 25 of June I took a personal trip into the ends of the world with Lena Berger, a stranger friend with matching passions, together and alone we decided to experiment with our hunger for photography and mix our skills and talents to create something we never done before…
The outcome blew our little minds and we are still wondering how do digest what has happen, we ended up with rivers of photos with bombastic emotional impact which I personally know will ripple till the day I die, this is by far my most challenging photographic event and I will try my best to give it to you raw, edited and uncut….(crossing fingers)….
Super massive thanks for Lena for jumping into the cold water with me, we are both in this mess together!!! Not to mention the band Future Islands & the movie Buffalo 66 which was subconsciously visible in every dark illuminated corner of this post apocalyptic structure…
As you know by now I am at my artistic peek, it’s true that frustration and struggle will bring the outmost creative outcomes, so, here I am once again, all messed up and full with hunger for self explorations, and being in love for many years with film but with no cash to afford it I decided just now that I need to push myself once again and recreate a genre I truly adore, ladies and gentleman, I give you my Digital double exposure express experiment! may god help us all for I do not know what I am doing…!
Tunaman Jones!
A fantastic band that keeps delivering good beats and delicious sounds.
Tuna together with Their Record label ‘Anana’ called me up to work with them on their new album and promo shots, we had a blast of a time in the blazing sun and ended up with lots of great pictures to play with, here is the first one which is also being released along side with their first single of their new album.
you can hear it here! CHECK IT OUT!

Rock on Boys (and girl!!!) and best of success on your musical adventure!
When great minds collide amazing things can happen. Specially when some of these minds are passionate artists from different mediums and backgrounds.
This is exactly what “ART Thy Neighbor” mini exhibit is all about.
A simple, refined collection of different Art pieces ranging from different formats such as Canvas, Wood & Paper paintings, Photos and even Skateboard Decks. From the fascinating world of tattooing to the ancient world of classical art mixed with new school madness and delight, “ART Thy Neighbor” has it all, well, not all but defiantly some!!
So come on down to the Pub and party with us as you peacefully take a look at our latest Art collaboration and we can finally chat about blah blah blah and you know the deal!
The Location name is actually called The Neighbor (in Hebrew of course) a really sweet and friendly local Pub so we thought calling the show “Art Thy Neighbor”, Get it?!? Funny right?!? Mind you it’s a small place so you might have to talk to people and squeeze a little here and there but we both know you like it.

New folder with new images about my little obsession with mirrors and reflections, a little experiment with flipping and titling images I wanted to bring back to life in a new light.
When ZOOZ magazine decided to drop a new fresh issue dedicated to Japan we simply couldn’t resist and let it slide unnoticed.
So, Zooz contact Snir Rozensal from Vision Tattoos to create a delicious piece of art on one of their walls in the Jaffa Port in Israel, Snir talked to Ronit Rozensal his adorable and talented wife and decided to call me and collaborate once again to deliver another mix of our skills in the behalf of the rising sun.
Zooz Mag capture and edit the whole process and placed it on their new issue online, you can and should check the vidoeclip here: http://thirdissue.zoozmag.com/ (page 61/62). it’s pretty sweet and funny!
So, Ta Da! enjoy.
massive love to all specially Zooz Mag for letting us play and blessings of light and strength to Japan whos even now after 3 months are still having hard time dealing with the shock of their latest catastrophe.
Ink Butter is a fantastic on-line inspirational website which delivers delicious goodies in the tattoo/lifestyle/ink/art/creative photography department.
a few days ago a friend of mine told he he saw some images I took back in the days (for the vision tattoo’s expo in tel-aviv) in the ink.butter fix blog, I was surprised myself since I don’t recall sending anything to anywhere, I guess somehow the images got to them and they decided to post it on their blog, now that is a true honor for me and always place a smile on my face showing me again and again that a great shot can travel the world and inspire others without you even knowing it.
so thank you Ink butter, you made my day!

O lord.
it’s starting to get pretty hot here in Israel, me holding my breath, waiting to here from Canada to get my visa so I can go back and make some music for god sakes.
so, what’s new?!? basically the site is pretty much pimped up to the max, a little tweaking here and there and I will start feeling good about it.
did a few things this month which I will upload once it’s ready, photoshoot with Useless I.D a great punk rock band from Israel, great old time friend that finally we got to play together…
A big wall painting for an international online magazine called Zooz magazine with Snir and Ronit from Vision Tattoos (we did an expo together a few months ago). LUvideomag (online skateboarding video magazine) part 3 launch party and world screening (finally!!! took us sometime but we got it working and it’s fantastic!). Did lots of new Street Art postups which is also being documented by a wicked crew for future previewing, did another catalog for Advika clothing and lots and lots of new photos in all the sections, basically I am starting to post what I am doing with my time regarding this site and my pro fashion and such, it is a blog after all and I know I got a fan or two out there (Hey mom!!)
love love.
My gosh.
I have been sitting around the clock pimping and pumping the site, it’s pretty much up to date at the moment, added , many new pages such at all the exhibitions I curated and participated, lots of new photography and graphic pages, it’s a blast. check it out you would love it!
EurekArt is a simple place, it’s about inspiration, mine, yours, everyone’s. Here we connect, see, hear, express and share… Pretty simple, right?!
EurekArt is an inspirational virtual social networking experiment run by Adida Fallen Angel, a Dynamic Media Evangelist who spends most of his time visualizing a better tomorrow with the powerful moving Art of today.
If you want to join the EurekArt Crew and think deeply that you have inspirational skills to add to this ever growing community just e-mail Adida at adidafallenangel@gmail.com and we will see what we can do about it!
Ridicules enough QR codes are pretty clever, so I decided to make one for this website!
cool right?!
Well.
tell you what, building a website is no picnic, specially if you are like me, multitasker extra talented Libra with ridicules amount of artworks, it takes years to learn how to minimize your collection, to split it to selections and titles and such, it truly is an art form to learn to represent yourself to the fullest.
so, basically that’s what I have been doing for weeks now, getting the site ready for lunching to the world will get a fresh look of what I have been up to lately..
Best of luck to us all, we sure do need it!

K.
so, I have been running around my own head this week, going like crazy doing 10 things at a time, love it! even if I would love to take a nap for a week or two.
being sitting a lot on this new site, makes me see my work in a more professional way, making selections more tight then ever before, placing new images and folders and making new iconic touches to bring my latest styles to the land of humans…
it’s all good…and getting better!
01 February, 2011 @ 22:22
So, basically here we go!
It’s February 1st and I am ready to start pimping my new delicious website but first i must bow down to a good friend who without him this site wont exist at all! so, big applause to Landry for being such a angel to hook me up with this sweet site and easy techniques to u date, we all know that i am a master myself but when it comes to web building i rather give it to the pros so i can keep my mind on colors and shapes which i like much more.
so, best of luck to all, god know i have a zillion of images and artworks to upload.
you can check Landry’s photos on his website which is on my Inspiration Souls page.
go go go!
