Because it's nearly impossible to just find him here, although I know of a gallery that sells his works. <br /><br />We're going to Ashdod in about an hour, so whatever we're doing we'll do from there. We'll take a day trip to Tel Aviv tomorrow. So let me know if you have any other info.inkstainedhandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09981049559995351307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912972352838230838.post-22737154161688516522009-08-16T20:45:47.558-04:002009-08-16T20:45:47.558-04:00It's expensive in galleries.

Hopefully he'll be flattered and sell you some art at a deeply discounted price :-).<br />Creative Alternative used have one of his paintings and I'm still kicking myself for not snatching it up before someone else did, although the price tag was pretty intimidating. <br />Maybe he's got some smaller ones or some prints?<br />Thanks!Sophienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912972352838230838.post-48215164763650441572009-08-16T06:50:59.059-04:002009-08-16T06:50:59.059-04:00Anonymous -- What would my real future husband say...Anonymous -- What would my real future husband say about that? I don't know -- maybe that he's lucky I did not accept this offer? Haha. <br /><br />Sophie -- Yeah, I've encountered my fair share of creepiness here in Israel, although it mostly came in the form of Israelis, not Arabs. (And my fair share of 'shidduch proposals'.) But this man wasn't offering me to date or meet his son -- he was offering that I should just go ahead and marry him. He skipped the shidduch step. <br /><br />And oh sure, I'll just call up an artist and say, "Hey, what's up, ma nishma, want to be friends?" <br /><br />We'll see what I can do though.inkstainedhandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09981049559995351307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912972352838230838.post-81303723368046887602009-08-15T23:17:47.182-04:002009-08-15T23:17:47.182-04:00Oh can you do me a huge favor?
