Since graduating from Bezalel academy of arts in 2003 she has worked for most of the major publications in israel, mostly Yediot Achronot. She has also illustrated varuies advertising, fashion and book projects. Ripe loves the old school glam and 50s Hollywood aesthetic Hilit brings to her work! CHECK IT

Desert Lovers













Here in the nation’s capital, when it (finally) heats up, the city is like a desert. Dry heat. Warm breeze. No beach. Brown grass and oasis-like green oaks scattered around the suburbs. Suddenly bodies are tanned and faces come to life; the city comes alive. And everybody knows if there’s an orange sun in the sky, the bushfires have come.

This country is the driest inhabited continent in the world. And oddly in summer, when the temperatures soar, the effortlessly cool nature of Australians oozes out.

Desert dwellers unite - but only during the week.

On Saturday I’m busting outta here and hitting up Bondi.

Ball Park Music

Ball Park Music have been described as “top of the pack” of rising Brisbane bands, and have recently scored themselves a spot at the 2011 Gold Coast Big Day Out. Ball Park Music have a number of achievments under their belt, having played alongside Aussie greats Cloud Control and Philadelphia Grand Jury, international greats, Radiohead, as well as just wrapping up an Australian tour with the Hungry Kids of Hungary. They launched their second EP, Conquer The Town, Easy As Cake, in May this year and have their single, iFly, humming on the lips of fans nationwide. Their new single, Sad Rude Future Dude, is just the right amount of naughty; with the ‘f-bomb’ scratched off the list (iFly uses the word three times in each chorus), sex is now the new kid on the block.

Sad Rude Future Dude is a little more civilised than iFly, but still catchy. It’s a bit naughty in the chorus so I think people who liked iFly will like this one too” says Jen Boyce, the band’s bass guitarist. And judging by the increasing interest in this delightful bunch of people, it’s safe to say Ball Park Music has well and truly arrived.

Ripe suggests you get on this band wagon. It’s a good ride.
