emails

I know we are all fatigued with getting emails about GDPR. I know I am.

Thank you for your interest interest in my draw yomi project. I really appreciate it. I apologise if the emails have been annoying and too much. And if you were following the daf yomi cycle, I apologise as I haven't been that disciplined with posting my daily drawings.

So, I have decided to cease the subscribe feature of the draw yomi project (thus proving that I have no commercial or marketing sense). I'm not finished. I will still be drawing. I will be posting on Instagram. And before this daf yomi cycle is finished, I will upload all the drawings to this blog. I'm just turning off the feature of the daily emails.

thank you.

goodbye horayot



goodbye mesechet horayot. you were a very short tractate of very long dappim. fascinating discussions about what happens when leaders rule in error and mislead the people. Are those individuals in leadership position to be treated as no longer an individual, but the office of authority gives them a fundamental change in status? and who are, and what is, 'the people'? I used black pen with black and red embroidery. I've been wanting to sew the drawings for a while, but reluctant to do this for a long mesechet. really enjoyed it and wished horayot was longer.

horayot 14

they say that they want the mountain & the wheat. 
But they compete on who cannot be argued with.

Friday 13 April 2018

horayot 13

in a hierarchy that values Torah wisdom above all, 
be careful about shaming the head's blank spaces. 
It will lead to your name being removed from your wisdom.

Thursday 12 April 2018

horayot 12

we light a candle & look for signs of survival. 
Life is finite, it ruptures & breaks. 
So we tear, either from above or below. 
Life does not flow eternally like water, oil, or Torah.

Wednesday 11 April 2018

horayot 11

kings & high priests. 
apostates & heretics. 
some are marked by what is poured on their heads. 
the other by what they choose to put in their mouths.

Tuesday 10 April 2018

horayot 10

kings & sins. 
kings will sin, it's inevitable. 
But it's from her sinning for the sake of heaven do kings emerge.

Monday 9 April 2018

horayot 9

a high priest & a king cannot become poor. 
but a sinful becomes a commoner, but a high priest can never go back.

Sunday 8 April 2018

and always keep away from her sister. 
Using forbidden women as teaching points.

Saturday 7 April 2018

horayot 7

he priest, the court, the king.

Friday 6 April 2018

horayot 6

what is a congregation? 
a group?

Wednesday 4 April 2018

even if they are wrong.
