Here is the final cover of the catalog.

Shira Sofer, graphic designer, made the inside of the catalog, using details of this cover as well as other pictures and drawings. Those who are around and interested in visiting the museum can to download the entire catalog here.

Every year a different illustrator was ask to draw the cover of the museum catalog keeping in mind the theme of "History and Present".

The museum's team requested that I'd feel free to draw what I wanted as long as the object from the museum were appearing and as long as I'd make something différent from the past years. They told me they liked the collages"nine month" representing eight random states of mind of a pregnant woman. I was myself very keen on making collages and create paper textures.I started by making this background texture.

I enjoyed very much making this drawing. I drew, paint, cut scanned, then re-coat with photophop brushes. I now feel like making plenty of collages!!!

For the moment in the materialistic, realistic life, we are surrounding by carton boxes but as soon as we have reached the new house in Benyamina - “Baït Yamin” as Noame says in a cute way - the house of Yamina, why not? - Let's go to Yamina's house - Anyway, over there, I will be able to start to cut and glue with fun.

In the museum, there is currently, a nice exhibition with all sort of paper made masks, people, clothes, pages of books flying away in tatters... and of course, all kind of textured papers. Worth seeing it!
