Dudu Geva

posted: January 15, 2015

Conmemorating 10 years since the great Israeli cartooninst/illustrator/comic book artist Dudu Geva passed away, a new book called "Still Optimistic" in which 100 Israeli artists pay tribute to Dudu will be published this month. An exhibition of the same name opens on February 15th at The Holon Technological Center.

Here's my portrait of Dudu. Dudu was one of my heroes as I grew up in Israel. Years later we met as colleagues. While we weren't close friends nor we ever collaborated, we did meet many times, visited each other's studios, and we even had Humus together.

That is a memory that I cherish.
