A bit delayed but still… with great pleasure I’m introducing you to Masha Manapov and her April 2014 Illustrated Break. “Design doesn’t really feel like a break to me, more like a way of living. As a freelance designer I feel isolated from my surroundings, sitting in my Ivory tower overlooking the world but only …
Breakers, it’s time for March 2014 Illustrated Break and you have no idea how excited I am to be able to introduce you to Elnatan Gurvitz aka Elna. Elna is one of the most wicked illustrators I’ve ever known. In fact, I need to thank Shiri Ashkenazi for sharing with me his incredible work. Elna …
Today is all about Christmas so we figured that we should also celebrate it here on DesignBreak. When I say “we”, I mean Shiri and I. Shiri Ashkenazi, the one behind the monthly San Francisco, an Illustrated Journey, outdid herself and so… here is a little gift for the holiday from her (and me). How …
I first ran into Liat Summerfield, when she wrote me about her Kickstarter Campaign and right then and there I had to ask her to take part in my IllustratedBreak and she said yes! For Liat, an illustrated break is when she can have her own dream time break, in which she is spaced out …
Harel Sheniak plays an important part in my San Francisco journey. In fact, He and his super talented Half are our besties. Harel is one of those gifted people who can do just about everything you throw at them design wise. I mean, the guy can definitely draw but he is also one heck of …
In her everyday life Hamutal Elad is super consumed by her art work and her shop. When I asked her to illustrate her very own Design Break, I forced her to take a few hours off beat, to sit down and not think about all the stressful and practical thoughts. She could illustrate just for …
Margarida Girão is one hell of an artist and over the last year I was lucky enough to call myself her friend. AND SO… it was only a matter of time until I got her to create her own version for my IllustratedBreak. As you can see, Margarida has her own way of doing things, …
When I first stumbled upon Shlomit Sauer’s illustrated world, i knew I had to ask her to be part of my IllustratedBreak party. And… luckily for me, she agreed! Don’t you just love her bears?! I’m super smitten with them being my August 2013 IllustratedBreak. In case you are asking yourself what’s up with bears …
Dror Bren is not your average illustrator (he is an industrial designer turned into web UX designer) but still, he was kind enough to illustrate the
Ella Katz is a textile student how enjoys colors and inky lines like no other. You have no idea how happy I am to have her and her fairy tailed illustration as my June 2013 Illustrated Break. “I took a break from the “real” world and sailed away into a fantasy world, where …
Say hello to Serena Olivieri and her super bright and springish plants as my May 2013 Illustrated Break! “Wait, what was I doing before painting these plants?! Ummm… walking around my hood while eating ice cream under the fresh springy sun, with Dean & Britta music in my ears. Then I go back …
I”m such a fan of textile designer Tali Furman and that’s why my April 2013 Illustrated Break is so special! Tali’s star dust print goes hand in hand with her blueish mood… “When I feel self doubt and overwhelmed I just sit in my bright room (a rare thing in London), grab my …
This month is a bit different and very special to me. I had the pleasure of meeting textile designer Adi Ofri for the first time, she shared with me a super breezy and minimal illustration she designed just days before we met. The minute I saw it I knew it had to be …
With so many new and exciting things to come this year (Hi, 2013!) let me introduce you to My February Illustrated Break, created by the ever inspiring textile designer and illustrator extraordinaire, Miss Lital Gold.

2013. Yep it’s a brand new year and a brand new IllustratedBreak. When Roni Brot sent the August IllustratedBreak she sent not one but two illustrations and I just couldn’t leave one behind so… “My inspiration comes directly from my personal, everyday experience and I find the creation process therapeutic.” To me it …
