Birthdays, birthdays.
My sister has been asking me for one of these for some time now. Her birthday is tomorrow, hope she likes it. She's as picky about her art as she is about her food. heh.
In other news, I've started a 3 week internship at one of Toronto's best design studios, Pylon. The projects at Pylon are great and the people are even better. Stay tuned to the Portnoy chanel, more to come right after this...

Good things come in twos...
I barely got my feet wet at The Post when Jonathan Kay sent another assignment my way. This one with literally a 3 hour turnaround. I was given the article at 1:15, went through a couple sets of roughs and delivered the final by 4 pm. It was a bit hectic but it definitely taught me how to be quick on my feet in terms of concept. Interesting assignment and Jonathan is a great guy to work with. This article is another excerpt from a book by Pauline Chen. It's about a doctor who saw that having human compassion, rather than a cold professional manner, towards a terminal patient's family can have a great positive effect on helping them cope with a soon and imminent death of a loved one. This piece is published in today's (Saturday) Post page A23, check it out!

I LOVE QUICK TURNAROUNDS!
Some very exciting news! After visiting the National Post this job came my way from Jonathan Kay, the comments page editor. The article talks about the moral dilemma surgeons face when treating terminal patients especially children. The surgeons find it important to seek comfort in the rituals and practices of their trade. The idea I used for it is a doctor who’s protecting herself with a shield in a form of a surgical lamp, while holding an ill child.
I really enjoyed working on this assignment in definitely opened my eyes into how tight deadlines are when it comes to newspapers. Special thanks to Kagan Mcleod and Donna Braggins for helping me with this, lets hope this is a glimpse of things to come! For those of you who are readers of The Post you can check out my piece in the Issues section page A11 of today's (Friday) paper.

Submerged Drinking
As some of you know I work part time at a Wine Rack store in the heart of little Moscow. From day to day I encounter very interesting individuals that seem to be determined to make it into my store to get their daily drink. They come in, sometimes regardless of severe weather, early or late time of day, or I think any other external natural elements. So here is a piece to celebrate their persistence, this one’s for you guys.

Digital can be fun!
On Thursday May 24, I found myself downtown Toronto visiting Reactor Art & Design. At about 4:30 pm when I left their office, I along side tens of thousands of downtown employees, discovered that the subway service wasn’t operating. This being rush hour the taxis and busses quickly filled up. As the masses of people me included began walking north to see if any other stations were working, one could see the fibers of social structure begin to fall apart. People were literally going nuts. I personally witnessed some people desperately trying to pry the doors open on taxis already filled with pasengers. People were shoving and pushing as they made their way through the crowd slowly moving down Yonge Street. No one seemed to know what was going on. Some were saying that specific stations were operating, others were saying none were working. What resulted is a crowd, resembling the armies of Mordor wandering, yelling and franticly zigzaging in all directions all throughout downtown. All in all my usual 40 min trip took about 3 hours but I arrived home safe and sound without any bite or scratch marks, all though there were few close calls.

Jewish Nationalism
These three illustrations are for an article in The Economist about how young Jews outside of Israel have problems finding a connection with the Holy Land. Some feel living or having a bond with Israel is not necessary for their Jewish Identity, wich the young generation seem to be establishing on their own regardless of where they live.
Miss Universe
I imagined what would have to be done in order to get the world leaders to agree on world peace, this is my solution. The world leaders all enter a miss universe pagent and when asked what they would do if they were to become the nations leader they would all agree on world peace. No offense to the real miss universe contestants out there, you're doing a heck of a job girls!
Republicans at it again
Baby Billionaires
This is a spread illustration for an article in The Rolling Stones magazine about the "Brat Pack", a group of young entrepreneurs responsible for creating some of the most popular pieces of software like YouTube, Firefox and Facebook. These guys may be worth billions but that doesn't stop them from living the regular student life that they enjoy.
