I recently completed a Q&A with the edgy new independent cultural magazine LIVE FAST. The mag features fashion and style profiles, interviews with rising artists, classy conversation about sex, and beautifully illustrated travel stories. In a candid interview with Abby from LIVE FAST, I talk about my muses, my process, music I love, my personal style, and what makes me tick.

It’s All About Passion! That’s the slogan for hDL – Home Design & Life Style – a high-end magazine that features the latest trends in fashion, design, lifestyle, and art. My painting, Pele, made it on the cover of their latest issue (my first magazine cover!). The publication is from Israel and when the production manager, Gil, sent me a copy, I expected that it would be in Hebrew but it was still a little surprising to open the cover on the left side (the issue reads right to left)! There is an awesome spread with some of my older work and I completed an interview which you can read in English here. Images of the full feature can be viewed by clicking on the thumbnail images above.
