Where we're going, we don't need roads

My first digital painting since returning from the holy land. 

Avi Arazuni's Farm

After leaving the Kibbutz, I spent a month and a half working on organic farms in Israel.  My favorite farm was in a little settlement called Ezuz in the Negev Desert, where I worked for the Arazuni family. I'll spare the details, and simply say that I can confidently state that my time at Avi's farm was the most peaceful 4 weeks I will ever have in my whole life.  

      Of course I had to draw a gift for the family upon leaving them.  This is Avi and Tamar, the couple that ran the farm and brought life to a beautiful orchard in the middle of a dry wasteland.

40 Kibbutz Volunteers

I spent this past winter residing at beautiful Kibbutz Bar'am on the Lebanese border of Israel, where I worked, lived, and partied alongside an ever-changing roster of volunteers from all over the world!  There were only 25-40 volunteers at any given time, but the total number of volunteers that passed through during my 5 months was probably somewhere around a hundred, maybe more.  Upon leaving the kibbutz, I challenged myself to draw 50 volunteers, released in sets of ten.    

Below are my favorite four sets.  I left out my first set from this post, because in it I can tell that my style was the least developed, and the four successive pages were much more, well, successful.
