"Your city - your story" from Marina and Nathan

Katrin's book is full!

Last week I invited my friend Nathan to meet in Tel Aviv and to try to fill our entries.

As we do some sketching projects together, Nathan and I meet very often, almost always in Tel Aviv, so my story of Tel Aviv naturally includes... Nathan ;)

We started our meeting with a good plate of humus, sitting at on of the corners of the HaCarmel Market in Tel Aviv.

 Here I captured one of the streets near the market, were you can still meet old professions, like this shoemaker, repairing shoes and bags on the street:

 Here are Nathan's entries, he sketched... me! eating the humus ;)

 and another character from the same street - the barber taking a rest and drinking some coffee.

The sketchbook is coming with me to Manchester, where I'm going to give it to Omar.

Bon appétit ! Humus & falafel - Drawings from Nathan Halpern

I post the drawings of Nathan Halpern in Marina's sketchbook because he's not at ease with his english and posting on blogs.

Nathan is an israeli ceramist and illustrator living in Tel Aviv, he used to illustrate for children books and work for architects, he is now teaching ceramic and is an obsessive urban sketcher ! The scenes he catched for Marina's sketchbook show small restaurants selling humus and falafel on King George, a very popular (and chaotic) street in the middle of Tel Aviv. 

Marina's sketchbook is now ready to fly to Berlin and find some German specialities!
