Well, Jane is absolutely gorgeous and has the most fabulous hair and smile. It was such a pleasure to draw her and what a fun theme for her bat mitzvah! I love a city theme.

Here's a handsome young guy, ready to go for his bar mitzvah in March!

Book Cover ideas for sign in books! Here’s a great example of the difference a great background image can make. All sign-in books are 13” x 10” and come with a matching dust jacket.

Fun “night club” version with color choices of lime green, yellow and turquoise.


Standard sign-in book cover. Remember there’s no extra charge for the backgrounds. We work with what you want for your event to make it graphically fun and exciting.

Michael looks great and ready-to-go for his Bar Mitzvah! Michael’s mom wanted a sign-in book for Michael just like she had made for his brother Jason a few years ago. Time flies!

Looking forward to spending next week updating and designing my new app. What will it be? Right now that has to stay a surprise!

Here’s a pretty one! Rachel looks absolutely gorgeous for her Bat Mitzvah! Rachel is wearing a fushia dress with a theme of butterflies. I had fun drawing this. Gorgeous hair, beautiful smile Rachel is ready for her big day!

What a beauty Marissa is and what a pleasure it was to draw her. Marissa’s event colors are pink and black and we had a great time with them even incorporating them into a metallic card stock for the back of her invitations (not shown). Marissa wrote me this: “OMG, the invitations are amazing! I have never seen such a cool invitation.” I love it when the kids are happy.

I've owned this store forever, and I made the very first knish.
I put the tongue and corned beef together, I made matzo and gefilte fish.
I sliced pastrami for the whole East Side, I got the business from an uncle who died.
I make potato salad, cole slaw too. I own the deli, I'm a Jew.*

~with thanks to Stu Moss as he channels Barry Manilow’s “I write the songs”.

I suppose I needed a bit of cheesy humor today. I’m in rush mode. I have to try and finish 3 images by next week. rush-rush-rush :)

Here’s updates to the gorgeous Sara and initial sketching on Michael.

At Oliner Graphics we want you to be absolutely thrilled. Sometimes the hair must be fixed or special colors used. Not a problem! Your happiness is ours. Happy customers are the best advertising!

Working on an outline of a handsome upcoming bar mitzvah. Have to try to finish cranking this one out today as there is a bit of a rush. I incorporated a different fun angle to this one so I'm really enjoying drawing it. Also reading a book "The Obstacle Course" by Neal Voron for a potential book cover. Really enjoying it, check it out online at the link.


Upcoming - looking forward to upgrading my site so I can figure out ways to market my apps and illustrations together more effectively. Also planning a giveaway on my app "Shabbat Blessings" to bar mitzvah businesses and vendors. Stay tuned! :D

Just released! Shabbat Blessings


Very excited to introduce our new app “Shabbat Blessings”.  The app has been designed to let a user easily listen and learn the proper enunciation of  the Shabbat Blessings and how to serve a Friday Erev Shabbat evening meal without  previous experience. Great for Bar/Bat Mitzvah students, Jews wanting to rediscover Shabbatt, interfaith couples and even Christians looking to understand this most important holiday.

Click here to purchase and share the joy of Shabbat! Makes a great gift for the New Year!

I haven't been posting for awhile as I've been developing a new business. I'm currently working with a great partner on an app development business and we are putting out our first app in the next few weeks! (We're SO EXCITED!) We're in the process of forming an llc and I will soon be classed as an apple developer. So fun. The below image is a rough teaser for an ad I'm creating to help market it. The Bar/Bat mitzvah crowd should be excited for this one too! It will definitely help the kids! Stay tuned!

Here's what mom had to say: Hi Liz, This is fabulous! Love your work! We are so excited! We will certainly share your name! Thanks so much! ~Debbie

And More!: This is PERFECT, Liz! Let’s go with it! SOooo excited! Thank YOU! ~Debbie

And More!: Oh Liz—You are wonderful! Thank you for the heads up on the “boys will be boys”* thing. If that happened I now that Ariel would be devastated! Oy! Thank you for EVERYTHING! Can’t wait to show off this poster!! Can’t wait! ~Debbie

*Illustrator's note: "Boys will be boys" references the possibility that a mustache could be drawn on the sign-in-board image by some wild teenage boy you didn't want to invite anyway. If this happens, it's not a problem! We simply have another print made of the sign in art. The portrait image is cut out and placed over the mustached one. Viola! It looks fantastic and flawless!

Made this adorable place card stand for my client's son's bar mitzvah. The mini envelopes (not shown) with the place cards inside of them will stand up in the little grooves at its base. So cute!

Finished my second twin for the Don Draper Bar Mitzvah. Gave a lot of thought of how to best position the boys so I could come up with the group picture to uniquely express their individual personalities. I wanted completely different facial expressions and body positions which were different yet equal. I think I got it.

Here's an incredibly handsome guy named Idan. Not only is Idan handsome he also has a brother who is equally handsome since they're identical twins. Mom wanted the guys to look similar but different. I thought by having one stand and one sit we could incorporate both of them into the same image for a welcome sign or banner. I really worked with the lighting on this image, I wanted an intense light and look from our young man. Don Draper, the gorgeous sophisticate from the Mad Men series was my muse while I was drawing. Idan looks fabulous!

Here's my latest bar mitz, complete with sign in art and event poster/invite cover. I had a great time with this one. I used the boy's last name, Ratner, in the sign-in art and called it "The Ratner Pack" for that tie in to the Dean/Sammy/Frank element. I was trying to make him look like he was escaping from the paparazzi with the lights and the urban wall.

Here's what Mom had to say: Hi Liz, You are the best! I received the FedEx delivery today, and when I opened up the posters, I was amazed with how beautifully they came out! They are even better than they looked online. Jenna loves them, and we even used the graphic for the beginning of her montage. And thank you for ensuring that they would arrive on time. I was able to bring them in today to be mounted for the big day. We hope to order more from you in the future. Our heartfelt thanks,  Troi and Jenna

Here's something I just love! Feedback and a photo from the event, how wonderful!

Thanks again,

She's so GORGEOUS!! Rose is getting ready for her bat mitzvah this month. I loved, loved drawing her hair. I put a fan on it!

Here's a great bat mitzvah! Mom provided the logo and I went to town. Lindsay has gorgeous blue eyes and a fabulous bright theme. To bring out the blue of her eyes we created a bright blue outfit and took the various elements of Mom's pre-existing bat mitzvah logo and incorporated them into the background art! Shazam!

Here's something I just love to see. A beautiful photo of one of my bat mitzvah kids fresh from her big day! Look how gorgeous and happy she is!



Here's what Dad had to say:
Hi Liz, Sarah's Bat Mitzvah was wonderful, and the sign-in board looked great.  The board is hanging in her room, and the poster is on the wall at the top of our stairs.  Thanks again! David

How great is this! Just received some final photos compliments of the wonderful Taubman Family as well as Ron Levy Photography!

For more information about using Ron Levy for your own Bar Mitzvah you can contact them below!

Here's another gorgeous idea. My wonderful client Casey and her mom Madelyn sent me this image of her graphic "post party". Instead of the poster, they selected archival paper with archival inks. The image was printed with a large white border which her guests signed. Grandmom loved it too so a second print was sent to her. Mazel tov Casey!



Here's what mom had to say: Hi Liz - I thought you would like to see the finished product of Casey's signing board....just fabulous!!!  It is already hanging on her wall. Everyone at the party LOVED it. So thank you so much for your beautiful work!!! Best Wishes, Madelyn

Here's Chef Ben whipping up the ingredients for a FABULOUS Bar Mitzvah! What a great theme. Ben's parents requested a more formal body image for the temple and the fun theme image for the event. The stylized graphic behind Ben was custom designed to coordinate with his Chef concept. The swirls represent a plate and spoon, essential elements of the trade.

Let's not forget those goodie bags. Once you have your basic party package Liz can even format your art to fit stickers and upload in your shop site. Looks great slapped on those paper goodie bags!

Shazam! Here's the gorgeous Sarah, one half of a set of fabulous twins. (You can see the initial sketch I made in the previous post.) The background created for this image works with the colors and theme of their event.

Here's what mom and dad had to say: Liz- We aren't sure which of the three of us loves the proofs the most but it is unanimous that we are all delighted. Sarah's hair and her smile are spot on - and of course even without seeing the text of your email Sarah noticed her favorite earrings right away!  The swirl background does flow very nicely with her hair (which indeed looks fabulous). We saw Sarah's image posted on your website - and she immediately called her uncle to let him see it (and swear him to secrecy). Everything is great as is and we approve it as presented in the proofs. Thanks-David & Nan

My genius daughter (only 9!) gave me a wonderful movie she produced for my business. She is completely amazing, where she gets it, I have no idea. She did it all by herself.

Paige wanted to look a bit older with a different dress. Here's the result. What a gorgeous young lady. Scroll down to see the original proof I sent her parents.

Great pic I just got so you can see the actual size of a sign in book next to a standard-sized 9 year old girl. All the interior pages (20) were blank for writing. I just did another one of these and the mom put in a few family photos for people to write around.

--with printed dust ruffle on front



--with the dust ruffle removed. (You can see it behind the book.) The actual hardcover of the book is also printed. Looks great. Quite a keepsake.

I drew myself, as well as the dog, my husband and the rest of the mishpacha for my own son's bar mitzvah on Dec. 5th. It was absolutely amazing. Kept me very busy and kept me from blogging for awhile. We had it on a boat with an "adventure" theme. Good thing too because the weather made it quite the adventure!

Gorgeous and weather resistant fabulous vinyl banners! I just had several of these made for my son's bar mitzvah and loved them so much I have to offer them.
Price includes custom layout of your event artwork. You can find them on the order page.

Since these are out in the mail now, I can show them. Although everyone loved these I spent way too much time creating a pop-up bar mitzvah invitation. However, the printed graphic on the front and interior was absolutely fantastic. I also had some 3' x 6' vinyl banners made which were so amazing I'm going to offer them on my order page.

Oh, I just love the dots that Jordan picked out for her background. Fun, young and upbeat and pink! What a great bat mitzvah this will be!

Here's a handsome guy whose coming up on his Bar Mitzvah. The below graphic is being used in a 13" x 10" sign-in book. The interior pages will all be blank. Its a hardcover book with a matching graphic dust jacket. This would look amazing displayed with one of our portrait posters in the background.

I'm having some fun here. This graphic has a lot going on. A full body graphic, an Indiana Jones theme, a New York night sky and the event will be held on a boat. This is a few steps up from the standard portrait package but will blow up unbelievably into a gorgeous print. Unlike most full body illustrations, the same amount of attention as a standard portrait was put into the Bar Mitzvah's face so that it could also be used as a stand alone blow up on its own. The intended use of the graphic is a welcoming sign onto the boat, sign-in art, table tents, place cards as well as being incorporated into the custom invitations. (For the layman reading this please note that the word "proof" has been written across the graphic for protection purposes. This will, of course, be removed when printing.)

One thing to keep in mind is that my artwork is drawn with the intent of blowing up BIG! Massive detail work is put into the graphics which can't be seen on the teeny tiny scale of the computer. Here's a blow up of the bar mitzvah's eye. These illustrations are super detailed and intense to draw!

Here's a handsome guy who's much cooler than I ever was! He snowboards, plays guitar and runs track! We're creating three posters for his Bar Mitzvah referencing these varied interests.

"Action Poster" 2' x 3'


Portrait Poster 2' x 3' -- standard

I thought I'd show how changes can be made with the graphics. Mom wanted to make sure our Bat Mitzvah girl's outfit matched on her image. So off with the "corporate" look and on with the strapless black dress! Shazam!

2nd proof with changes--New look!


Initial Proof copy--outfit too "corporate"


Here's what mom had to say:
Dear Liz, Just a quick thank you for your awesome work on all Audrey's projects…from the poster to table cards, your images were a big hit. Hope to work with you again. Best Regards, Janet

And, here's what our model had to say:

Hey Liz,

Sample Table Tent (5" x 7"): Table tents are printed on our greeting card gloss stocks and can be framed or just placed on the table. To order table tents for your event, just ask liz with your order.




Placecard sample: Tie your theme together. Place cards layouts are sent via an email word document formatted for in an Avery Template and are printed as needed (by you!) Terrific, economical and efficient! Place cards are business card sized.

My artwork is meant to be seen LARGE. Which means on the teeny-tiny format of the computer you are missing some of the POW! of my poster-sized pieces. Here's an example of Elise, a lovely girl with lovely fine soft features which can get a bit washed out on the small screen. I've blown up parts of the image and, as you can see, when they are blown up even this little bit you can see so much more of the details and shading which make the pieces so rich and engaging.

THE BIGGER THE BETTER!!

Here's the stamp art sample!

This one was more party and polly pocket! More of those eyes and smiles.

Here's our Evan on site at his Bar Mitzvah with his sign-in-board. What a handsome guy! Its so great to get emailed these final photos. After I've spent about four hours illustrating someone and getting into the "zone" I feel like I personally know them, despite the fact that my clients are all over the country.

From the client:
Hi Liz,
Here are a few pics of the poster at Evan's duckpin bowling party tonight. Everyone loved it!
Jennie

My artwork is designed to be blown up HUGE! As you can see from the detail here from "sarah's right eye (scroll down to the bottom of the page for sarah's whole image) . Shown in the teenie, tiny scale of the internet really takes some of the power away from them. If I only had to worry about my work appearing on the net I could probably cut down my illustration time to 1/4.

To get that wow factor, I include a FREE portrait poster with the basic package. Its a huge 2' x 3'.

Thanks to my wonderful client Jennie, I have these great photos of Evan's Bar Mitzvah suited up in Oliner Graphic originals. Jennie is the best and all of her friends and relatives should tell her how great she is once they see this site! Thanks for sending me the photos!

From the client:
The T-shirts were a huge hit, particularly the kids thought it was cool to have Evan on the shirts.

I was just emailed this from one of my Bat Mitzvahs. In this case the mom used the poster to highlight where the sign-in books were and to help direct the guests to different locations. We also offer mini-poster prints (actually not so mini 11" x 17"!) for only $8.99 in our shop sites. These are great on doors and outside the building for parking etc. Don't forget the art makes great thank you cards too, all available in your shop. Don't forget this poster art is included in your portrait purchase.

Look at these terrific photos of Devorah with her poster and bat mitzvah t-shirts! She's gorgeous!
