Had a great, great design idea recently. I’m going to put together some kind of Ketubbah option for my clients. Hmmm, just need to figure out the Hebrew...

Designed for your iPhone/iTouch/iPad
Of course, I’m always thinking in the Jewish/Yiddish style and since I’m also on weight watchers (again), I’m thinking about food ALL THE TIME right now. “A Little Nosh” Pachinko Game is our tribute to the Latkas, corned beefs on ryes, pickels, sour cream and black and white cookies of your past and future.

Have some fun trying to get the latkes to hit the sour cream and rack up points. The high point score in the Oliner home is 23.

I don’t do calligraphy for clients as I’m busy illustrating for them all the time, but I found a great link for someone who does — Irene, at Calligraphy, by Hand. Fellow Graphic Designer Irene turned to custom calligraphy years 30 years ago. Custom calligraphy is perfect for special occasions where you’d like to set a special tone. Check her out here. Once you order your Oliner Graphics invites you could go here and finish them up! She works nationally and internationally. :D

Well, I had some fun talking to my friend Gail from MitzvahChic.com yesterday and they will be up and running soon. We talked about her exciting new site layout and I’m going to be designing some templates for bar/bat mitzvah online rsvps for her. I’ve done these in the past and she loved them. Looking forward to it. I’m thinking themes: princess, all sports, modern or cooking. All the images will link back here to my website so hopefully that will result in lots of juicy business for me!

Going to the city later tonight to eat at Le French Triomphe and see Other Desert Cities on Broadway with a gang of women friends in our annual trek. I am concerned about the French Triomphe and the timing couldn’t be worse as I started Weight Watchers again. So, I had to preplan my menu which they teach you to do. I’m looking forward to an evening of salad with balsamic vinegar dressing sans nuts, reinforced by an incredibly filling large bowl of cooked carrots. I will consider my dessert to be a small dish of baked fingerling potatoes supplemented by meager glass of vin ordinaire. ~wheeze~

Here’s a rsvp card I’m working on just so I can get a graphic into this blog post! I’m doing good, I’ve blogged a lot this week. Work wise things are busy, raining...pouring...

Ouch, my poor friends at the formerly fabulous Mitzvahchic.com were brutally hacked away by someone a while ago and lost their online presence! They were such a terrific help to me when I was starting. What a lost resource! :( Fortunately, their incredible Mitzvah Planning Guide is still linkable and attached. Hopefully they’ll be up and running soon. I miss them.

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.*

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.

Well, I’m back from a week on a cruise and was delighted to discover that our learn “Shabbat Blessings” app had been featured in the Mitzvah Market (just love these gals) website under the most fabulous and “with it” title of, “10 ways Bar/Bat Mitzvahs have gone Hi Tech!” Thrillingly, (is that a word? it should be), we are in the number one slot!

In other news, I am full blast into another bar mitzvah season. My business-wise new year’s resolution is to blog more. :D

Oliner Graphics will be on vacation until January 3rd. Your questions are important to me and I will do my best to answer them, but I may not be as quick to respond next week. In case you want to order a package and are worried you’ll miss the sale, I have decided to extend the Hanukkah sale into January. I wish everyone a happy and healthy holiday season.

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!

Available for the holidays on cards and gifts, click here.

Busy busy day. Finished this for the marvelous Warwick Swimming Team, working on a graphic for a beautiful young girl, our latest app has been uploaded and we're waiting for final oks, etc, etc... :)

Tired of looking at new app clues? Me too! We're working to finish this fun app. You'll never figure out what this silly game does.

Ohhh, here's a big clue to our new game app! fun! silly! Getting through final programming tweeks.

Love Mitzvah Market! They placed us in their mitzvah find section this week! Fabulous! Click on the below image to read all about us! :D

Like most creatives, I tend to not do just one thing. So, when not drawing for your personal enjoyment; I've been living in my wood shop lately. Caught the wood fever last year when rebuilding my deck. Plan on building a pile of artistic boxes then moving on to custom cabinets. Fun!

Once again, the posts have been minimal as we are busy cranking out some new app concepts to support our Learn Line-by-Line app, Shabbat Blessings. We are still plugging away producing marketing material for this and I'm looking forward to making some cards to introduce the app to area Hebrew educators. We're going to be offering up some free game apps to bring a little fun into it. Below are some screen shots of the app to give you an idea of how you'll learn. Every line is broken down into it's simpliest parts. Don't forget you can gift apps in itunes! Great for little kids and relatives.

Working a bit on a new app today. Of course, I'll need to keep it for a surprise! Just in the drawing and development stages and we now have a killer idea for the next Line-By-Line© app to follow that. Very, very exciting days ahead!! Don't forget to check out our first app "Shabbat Blessings" at itunes. Helps the kids lock down those Friday night blessings. :D

Thank you cards

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

Ah, so nice! My app got another plug!

Very excited to see my app listed in the Jewish iPhone Community listing!

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!

Needs a little more shading and am working on the hair color a bit more. The model has light hair, thought darker hair may work better with this particular product. The blue square in the iphone will contain a graphic of the app. I can't show that image until it's released.
