Recently did an illustration for an article on Grantland about the Betair (Israeli Premier League) soccer team's ongoing struggles to successfully integrate non-Jewish players, specifically two Muslim players from Chechnya, with a small but vocal faction of their fan base called La Familia, a proudly racist group who wants their team "pure". In the past, ownership has bowed to these angry voices and traded those non-Jewish players away. The banner in the illustration reads "Beitar Forever Pure". It is held up and displayed during games when they play. However, recently ownership has held firm to the idea that religion of the soccer field doesn't matter and have withstood a barrage of pressure, ending the season without a trade.

21st Century Love Story
Here's
a recent image I did for a filmmaker's script currently being shopped
around Hollywood. It's about a burnt out guy and a distracted young
lady. I sure hope it gets made.

LA Weekly - The Big Lebowski!
Got a bunch of Big Lebowski character illustrations in this week's
issue of LA Weekly - Maude, The Dude and "Shut the F up, Donnie" Walter.
There's a big article on the movie and these are each individually
spots interspersed throughout the article at about 6 inches high I
hear. Cant wait to check out the article, I'm a big fan of the movie,
saw it like a pachillion times when I was younger. Hadn't in a while
though leading up to this, so I watched it again. It's a tough job, this
art thing, sometimes. Used my camera to take pictures of paused shots
in the tv, then in combination with other reference and such, created
these. Went with a biblical vibe with The Dude, robes flowing.
Wanted to partly show Walter's briefly seen sensitive side, hence the
"pomeranian". And for Maude, I just wanted to show off her - amen -
wardrobe.
