EDIT
I just wanted to THANK YOU EVERYONE for your condolences and cheer ups! Really, it helps me so much to bare this pain when I see all of you "strangers" taking the time to support me in this time of need.
Thank you.
Thank you.
THANK YOU!
My mother WAS a great woman and a wonderful mother, she raised me to be strong and I am strong and I know I will get through this hard time, so don't worry =^W^=
And ya... I will definitely keep drawing

Hello Everyone.

I know I've been extremely away in the last couple of months. From the title I believe you can guess why.

It is with deep pain that I wish to tell you that sadly my mother passed away on July 4th 2012.
Without going into details and please respect my privacy, I will just say that she had been sick with a hard type of Cancer and after a long and hard struggle her condition suddenly deteriorated in a few weeks till her body just couldn't take it anymore and she simple died at home in my own arms.

This is life, this is reality, I understand that and frankly I'm pretty much ok, considering the situation.
After the funeral and 7 days of mourning (we're Jewish) were over and after I finally managed to get back to some kind of sane life I thought I should write a journal entry to let you know why I've been away and perhaps, I guess, to have some kind of outlet to my feelings, because I think it's important to talk about it and not hide it.
There's still a lot of stuff to take care of, but it's nothing I can't handle. And ya, I know my birthday is next week, but I guess I'll skip this year's celebration.

So that it, I guess. I'm really really ok and frankly I just want to get back to my life (my mom made me promise her that I will do that). I have tons of work piled up and a bunch of stuff to post, so I hope I will be able to do all that soon.

Anyway, thank you for listening.
Your humble servant,
Liron Pe'er.

Hello Watchers.

I'm sure at least some of you heard who Ken Duncan is. If not, perhaps "Meg", "Jane", "Captain Amelia" and "Thomas" (among other characters) would ring a bell.
Well, anyway, this x-Disney and one of my favorite Animators has his own studio now (for some time now actually) called "Duncan Studio". Being on my FB friends list (he probably approves everyone) he brought to my attention a new project they are working on called "My Beastly ABC's". It's going to be some kind of Storybook App and I guess will involve some animation in it. They are using Kickstarter website to ask for donations and that's where you come in! They offer all kind of cool prizes, depending on how much you donate. Since I simply LOVE Ken Duncan and since on their project teaser (which you can see on the website) Susan Egan (the voice of Meg and the actor of Belle in the Beauty and the Beast Broadway musical) is appearing, I just couldn't resist and thought I should bring this to - as many people as I can - 's attention.

I talked too much. Here is the [link]
Go there and see what this is all about. If you feel like it, you can donate a dollar or two. I would really like to support this studio, cause they still believe in traditional animation.

---
On a side note, my family's issues are still the same. My mother is still ill and I'm still mostly busy taking care of her. Like I said before, this is something that is going to take a while, a long while, but we're hanging in there and I am even able to work a bit. I have a couple of projects coming up, I will post them once I get approval from the clients (I guess once the App is online and once the other project is done).
Other than that frankly I have zero time for anything else. Yes, I have no life. I'm always trying to catch up on things, but new things keep piling up and oh man I wish there were more hours in a day... The only thing that keeps me sane I think is watching a little bit of TV while eating (hey, I gotta eat).
I "The Legend of Korra"! I'm an official MaKorra Fan.
I the new "Thundercats". Tygra & Cheetara Fan here.

Anyway, enough mumbling.

Thank you for listening.
Your humble servant,
Liron Pe'er.

Hello everyone.

Hisashiburi da ne (It's been a while)... I'm still here, still alive. I had a few crazy months, but I'm happy to say that my mom is much better now and treatment is working. She is still not fully recovered and we're not out of the woods yet, but in the last month I finally managed to get back to stuff, mainly just catching up on all the things that piled up in the last few months. But I clearly have more time on my hands to take care of my own things. So I thought I should update my journal entry with a few stuff.

First, Commissions are OPEN again. I think I have time to draw something here and there, so feel free to place your order today.

Second, here's a link to an Article/interview I did for Animation Insider website: [link]
There are some personal and professional questions there, feel free to read it.

And last, I wish to feature a very very talented young artist named Anca Mihai. I have been "mentoring" her for quite a while now and I really enjoy her work and wonderful progress.
She uploaded a short animation to her YT channel and I really think you should check it out.
So here's the [link] feel free to check out her YT Channel for more animations.
Oh! and here's her DA: so you can check out more of her drawings.

I really hope I will start uploading new stuff soon. I'm dying to get back to my Disney Moments series and other stuff I want to draw. Time... I need time... I can't post some of the stuff I'm working on right now, client's orders, so it will take time before I can post them. But I AM working on some things, really, you think I just sit at home all day watching "Secret Garden" OMG they are so *HOT* why Korean guys are so.... ehemmm... *cough*... yes. work. yes.

Anyway, that's all for now.

Thank you for listening.
Your humble servant,
Liron Pe'er.

Hello my beloved watchers.

I know I've been a bit away lately, not posting new things (except for the stuff I just posted, which have been laying in my computers for months now), having too many unfinished projects and not really working on something new. Sadly this will have to continue for a while from now.
Without really getting into details, let's just say that life has not been kind to me. My mother has been struck with a sudden illness and a long treatment awaits her.
Hoping that everything will turn out for the better in a few good months from now, I currently have to channel my time and efforts helping my mom and my family (and cats) and so will probably have less time for work and art.

So you probably won't see much of me in the next few months, but I will try to show my face here and there whenever I can.
Please understand if it takes me a while to reply to a question, a note or an email. Please try to avoid asking me things that are clearly explained in my article (about animation), tutorial (about coloring), commissions info page (about commissions) or Lady Ice website (about the DVD I sell). I always try to answer, but right now it's going to be difficult finding the time.

Also, I think I will CLOSE commissions for the time being. I might open them again in a month or so, not sure, it depends on many uncertain things.

As for Lady Ice DVDs - I'm still selling them, mostly because it's kinda hard to close the purchasing system I have. Reflecting on my stock it seems there are about 30+ Sets left, and with a shipment going out every week this stock will probably be finished soon.
Here is the link where you can purchase the 2-Disc Collector's Edition of Lady Ice packed with bonuses over an hour, 4 Postcard lithographs and a Poster signed by me.
Please read the FAQ before purchasing and if you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them.

In any case I will still try to be around and check my inbox whenever I can. I hope the next time I'll write a journal I will have better news to post. So in the meantime please show some patience and understanding.

Thank you for listening.
Your humble servant,
Liron Pe'er.

Meow... I mean - Hello! (3 cats in the house and you start to speak Neko-go)

I ran into a very talented Animator a couple of days ago (more correctly, he ran into me, sent me a note and I decided to feature him because this is MY journal and I can do whatever I want with it 8P).
Anyway, he's name is José Alberto Treviñ and he's from Mexico. If you like all the great Anime and Cartoons, such as Dragonball Z, Spiderman, TMNT, Sonic and the list goes on and on, then you should definitely watch his latest animation HERE
He also has a DA account: so pay him a visit if you like.

Another great artist I wish to feature is
She is doing a Vegeta X Bulma Doujinshi (self published manga) called "Pink Lovers", most of it is published on her DA page, and now she also sells it as a book with a few bonus, never before seen, pages:

The book is rated "some 18+ content advice!", so keep that in mine before you check it out or order (I know a lot of underage users are watching me, so you HAVE been warned!).
Please visit her page for more information about prices and shipping and such. I already ordered my copy ^_^

An last, but certainly not least, I would like to "feature" Mochi the cute little kitten, if you remember. This also comes with a special +REQUEST+
First, I uploaded tons of videos I've collected in the last 3 months since she first came into our house, so you can watch them all here: [link]

As for the request - We are trying to raise up money so we can feed all the street cats we feed on a daily basis (about 30-40 cats) with a better food, plus take care of the sick ones and the ones in need of special care (such as cats with no teeth who need wet and soft food that is very expensive). I've uploaded all those videos to YT cause the more VIEWS and CLICKS those videos have the more money is earned from the ads YT is attaching to each video. We are not trying to get rich here, heck no ^.^ and we don't expect for Maru or Simon's Cat, but if we can gather up like 50$ a month, then this with what we spend already should help us give these cats a better life.

So all I ask actually is to watch those videos, spread them around, maybe "like" here or there, pick just one you like and send it to your friends, I don't know. Anything to boost the "views". This specific video is probably my favorite: [link] so if the playlist is too much, you can share only this one.
And there are also some new photos in Mochi's gallery, so check those out if you like: [link] (there are no earnings from FB).

So from Mochi, Renji, Julie, Kiki, Yuya, Hiro, Choco, Toffee, Milky, Menachem, Ruchama, Nel, Bandi, Toshi, Jinj, Oppa, Buki, Naruto, Ichigo, Kitler, Gin, Gintoki and all the rest of the cats I lacked to name we all wish to THANK YOU in advance!!!


As for Lady Ice, DVDs are still on sale, I hope to finish them all by the end of the year.
Here is the link where you can purchase the 2-Disc Collector's Edition of Lady Ice packed with bonuses over an hour, 4 Postcard lithographs and a Poster signed by me.
Please read the FAQ before purchasing and if you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them.


Thank you for listening.

*EDIT* New pictures of Mochi: [link] will upload some cool and funny videos soon (need to find time to edit them).
In the meantime this kitten is destroying my house (but I can't be mad at her cause she is SU-PA Kawaiiiii neee...).
And.... I wanted this journal entry back on my front page, so there! XP

Hello.

You may have noticed the new Journal Design. I got sick of the old "Lady Ice" Design and had been meaning to change it for a couple of months now (yes... that's how busy I am). So now I have a new simple CSS and Header, a few buttons and a lot of babbling to do. Weeeee....

On to more important matters (involving money in which I buy food... for my cats...)

So what I have been doing for the last few weeks? Well... between work and personal stuff, such as finding a new born 2-3 days old kitten laying helplessly in the parking lot waiting to die, taking her in (vet said it's a she), raising her and luckily being able to find her a new warm and loving home, into she will move once she's big enough (wanna see pictures? [link], you may have noticed I started selling Vector Illustrations online via Stock Images websites (yayy... I know Illustrator now T_T <-I hate that software).

So if you in need of Illustrations at a cheap price, whether you are a company or an individual, hop hop to my ShutterStock Gallery to purchase my lovely (and sometimes weird) Royalty Free Vector Art.
Already have a registered account on other Stock Websites? No problem at all! I have the same gallery in other websites as well. See the complete list Here.
And if you in no need of these Illustrations, but know someone who might, I'd be extremely happy if you can spread my Gallery around so I could buy Mochi (the lil' kitten, named after a Japanese Rice Sweet) food and toys

As for Lady Ice DVDs. Most of you know I have been selling them for about a year now and glancing at my stock I noticed it's, like, really running out, I think about 50 or so copies are left.
I am emphasizing this again - I will NOT restock once they are gone, finished, no more. This has taken more of my time than I planned to and I mainly did this for the fans and for me, not to earn a lot of money or something, he he... (which I'm not, honestly). So I encourage you - if you were thinking of getting a copy but delaying for any reason (which I respect of course) I truly believe you should purchase a copy soon and avoid asking me later if I still have some copies left and will I be making more, cause I won't n.n

I just wanted to thank you ALL for wishing me a Happy Birthday. It felt great opening my DA messages and seeing all those comments you guys left me. So from the bottom of my I say ++THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH!++

ANNNNNDDD....

A special Thanks to 2 special people, who took the time and made me a special birthday gift, just for me!
So a special Thanks to for her lovely "Lady Ice" Birthday Drawing: [link]
And a special Thanks to my good friend for his lovely "The Final Stand" Birthday Drawing:

Thank You Thank You Thank You!!!

So how did I spend this birthday? Well... I guess I'm already too old for parties, he he... So I just spend the day at home resting (from a hard week I had), then had dinner with my family at a nice restaurant and even had some delicious desert (Yam!). Today my mom made me my special birthday cake (that she makes only once a year for my birthday, mauahahhah!) so I guess I'm gonna have a bit (a LOT) of that today with some nice cappuccino my brother makes me once a week when the family gets together (he makes some damn good cappuccino!! I love cappuccino, especially my brother's). And that's all I guess. Life is life n___n

Thank you for listening.

So I opened this morning my computer and as usual logged on to DA (I'm an addict, I need I help, I know), and to my big surprise noticed tons of messages that weren't there a day before:

I, like, just cleaned my inbox yesterday, and was going (head tilted to the side) "this isn't right..." . So after a few seconds of trying to figure out what happened I realized that

+++ I GOT A FREAKING DD!!!!! +++

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!
Thank you SOOOO much for suggesting and for featuring me! I am truly honored and thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I was actually hoping for someone to feature my "Disney Moments" series, and this moment has finally arrived.
I only, he he, regret 2 things: 1. Esmeralda is actually not one of my most favorite character and was hoping more to feature Ariel, or at least Meg or Kida. And 2. I have more "Disney Moments" coming (yes, I know it takes me time to draw them, I truly apologize for that, but sadly I have to give paying work priority) and wish the series would have been featured when it's complete...
But that's just me and my twisted -always seeking for perfection- personality, so don't mind me, I'm just babbling here.

Anyway, thought that this deserves a Journal entry. But now someone needs to go over all those messages... and I guess that someone is, well, me ^,,,^

Thank you for listening.

Liron Pe'er.

Ok. This has been lying in my Inbox for a while now and I kept forgetting I wanted to show it to you.

First, please see this:


Ok. So I got this message a while ago from Herb Moore via LinkedIn, probably due to me adding myself into so many groups on LinkedIn and requesting connections from every Disney or Animation industry person I could find, but it was still a bit weird to get this. Yes, I'm sure it's more of a "spam" email he writes to everyone he adds to his connections to market his website, but still, I mean... WTF? I had to read it 3 times to believe it. It almost sounded like the usual emails I get from young uprising animators who ask for tips and guidance, but HE F@#ING WORKS FOR DISNEY!!! What the? Why are you showing me your website? Get me a job, dammit! Are times now that bad at the Disney company that you are succumbed to write to puny lowly unworthy me and ask kindly to check our your website and ask me what I think??? Yes, Herb, work a bit more on your timing and a bit more on you anatomy and do some more sketching and you're good to go.................

Anyway, I should write him something. Don't think it's gonna help or anytying, but I'll give it a try.

On a different matter, Commissions are *OPEN* and though I'm a bit busy with other stuff, I can squeeze in a few commissions, so feel free to note/commission me ^_^

And last, more new stuff are on the way, I just need to organize a few things (especially the thoughts & voices in my head) and then I'll post them.

Thank you for listening.
Your humble servant,
Liron Pe'er.

Hey.

Just wanted to update you about the whole "friend from the Philippines with a broken Wacom" solved crisis.
So thanks to your wonderful support his brother managed to purchase the oh-so-desirable wacom and ship it to my friend, AND HE WAS THRILLED OH HOW MUCH HE WAS HAPPY!!!!! He was just so overwhelmed with the new wacom and all the support he got he was just so over existed during the chat we had! And that was even BEFORE he installed the driver properly... he he... a bit of help from sensei and it was working perfectly in no time.

Anyway, I won't waste your time too much. Just go and check out those 2 journal posts he put up about a week or so ago:
[link]
[link]
OH! And check out this Supa-Kakkoii-Kawaii gift he made for me and a couple of others:
(I'm the top panel)
And of course, you can check out his gallery for new art done with the new Wacom.

Again, I truly wish to express my deepest appreciation for all you've done, even if it were just reading the journals. I truly wish to believe there IS a better world out there that we are just blind to on our daily lives.

Thank you very much for you time.
Your humble servant,

Konbanwa Minna.

Now you can see on Facebook my Huge Ever-Growing Disney & Anime Collection too.
As much as I dislike (ok - hate, don't ask) Facebook, I find it more useful than MySpace, which was my best option at the time I uploaded all my collection years back. But after using Facebook for my Fan Page I realized that I can use it also to display my beloved collection.
So hop on (or click actually) to My Collection on Facebook, click on "Like" to follow and receive updates on the latest items I've collected. Oh! and check the photos gallery to see all the cool stuff I have in my possession (it's MINE! All MINE! Muahahahha). And of course feel free to leave comments on my Wall ^_^

For another matter, I was honored to be interviewed by the lovely Reda for his online blog regarding Lady Ice and my life as an animator.
You can read the interview here: The Redanimation Blog
You might discover some information about me and my film that you didn't know before, among other interesting animation related articles he wrote.

And last - commissions are currently open, BUT I might need to close them soon, depending on new developments that might take hold of my time in the next few weeks, with a potential to keep me occupied for a while and I'm still not sure if I can integrate commissions with these other projects. Still, for now it's only talks and I can't really reveal any information, but thought I should give you a head's up. So if you planned on commission me sometime in the near future, the next couple of weeks might be the only time I will be open for commissions. Again, not promising anything, "nothing" might happen and I'll stay open. Just wanted to tease you a bit

Thank you very much for you time.

SOLVED: OMG OMG OMG OMG AGAIN!!! And just when I thought it's too good to be true, it just got even better!

I just got word from my friend that yet ANOTHER wonderful person has made a generous donation!!! He didn't even mention his name on DA so I will have to refer to him as the "anonymous donator"... Thank you sir/mam from the bottom of my hear! Apparently there ARE some good people out there (and just when I was about to push the button... )

So after a few calculations my friend told me he should have enough money now to get the new wacom, and he won't even have to borrow money from his brother, which make things a little easier for them.
Buying the wacome will take about a week or two, cause they need to take out the money, the store needs to supply it, his brother will send it in the mail etc etc, so my friend asks kindly from all who commissioned him to please be patience, cause as I said myself - he can draw the commissions only AFTER he buys the new wacom.

In general I wish to point out that he does take commissions in general, so if any of you are interested, regardless of this specific -Solved- crisis, feel free to commission him any time, he really is a good artist.

And last - I wish to thank you ALL for helping out or even just taking the time to read this journal.
Your humble servant,
Liron Pe'er.

UPDATE: OMG I think I just got back my faith in mankind!!!

I had my suspicions but had to confirm it with my friend before I post anything. My friend literally cried and couldn't believe his eyes. Anyway, I would really like to send a HUGE THANK YOU to one specific person who opened up his heart AND wallet and donated a generous amount of money. You sir are a GOOD, KIND and WONDERFUL person!!!
  (and if you wish to stay anonymous just let me know, though you definitely deserve it).

And I would also like to give a BIG THANKS to another person, who also opened up his heart and helped:
   (same here if you wish to stay anonymous).

With your help and a little extra from his brother (who will also go and buy the wacom, since my friend's leg is broken), my friend can get his wacom back very soon (he told me his bro need to drive to the this area where they sell it, so it will take about a week) and continue creating wonderful art.
Of course if you still wish to help, even commission simple sketches for like 5-7$, that would definitely help!!!
Once he buys it, he promised to send a picture with a thank you note or drawing, so I will post it here for you all.

Thank you again, even your thoughts count, cause positive thinking will make the world a better place ^_^

ORIGINAL:
I usually don't do this, but when I heard the details my heart was pinched and I just couldn't ignore and felt I must help is someway I can.
A friend and gakusei (student) of mine was in a motorcycle accident a few days ago. Luckily (I guess if you're alive it means you're lucky) he came out of it generally ok, with "only" a broken leg AND sadly - a broken wacom tablet! (which was in his backpack at the time of the accident).
Considering he's from the Philippines, thus a low economy, no money in general and not even a health insurance (I was the one who actually made him realize that his leg is actually broken, doing it online while chatting on msn), even selling the little stuff that he has won't cover for a new wacom tablet, his most "prized" possession.

Now, Kujiki-Kun is a hard worker, a young uprising good artist, and wishes to work hard for his new wacom tablet. He only needs to raise up about a $100+ (can you imagine he doesn't even has that amount) and asks for your kindness and open hearts to help him reach his -very reachable with your help- goal. Even purchasing just sketches for like 5-10$ would help.

Please visit his commissions page for all the information:


And for any of you who were wondering how he's going to draw your commission with no tablet (emm...I know I did), well - if he gets about 5-10 commissions he can immediately purchase the new wacom and then draw your commissions. If the goal is not reached soon, you'll get your money back, and I can vouch for him, his a good person who just need a little help.
So let's make a difference!

Thank you very much for you time.
Your humble servant,
Liron Pe'er.

Gonna haf'ta take a short break now, taking care of some stuff. But I'll probably be back before you know it, so start brewing some commission ideas in your mind and send me your emails/notes. I'll take care of everything once I'm back and of course I'll post a new journal once I'm open again. But like I said - you can send me emails about commissions, I will just put you on a waiting list, and of course - first comes first served.
Thank you for everyone who already commissioned me ^_^

Hey.

I just wanted to share with you something that happened 2 days ago and made me "realize" (well, not really) something.

I was on the phone with a client about some work she wanted me to do. The woman sounded mid 30s I guess, maybe more, but I'm guessing kinda from my generation (I myself am getting close to 31 o_O ).
As she was browsing through my portfolio (not the DA one) she came across my "Tangled" fanart. Her reaction was (and I'm quoting): "What is Tangled?" ...
Ok, the conversation went like this:

Her: "What is Tangled?" ...
Me: "Tangled, you know, Disney's new movie..."
Her: "Tangled? What is Tangled?"
Me: "Tangled, Plonter (yes... that's the name in Israel, I mentioned it to her in case she knows it by that name), it's Disney's new 3D movie... Rapunzel, the girl with the hair... you know."
Her: "Oh, ok..."

Ok! I have on that portfolio page my Ariel fanart, Pocahontas, Meg, Kida... you know, my Disney stuff. She even recognized Kida, but she only asked about Tangled.
My point is (if you haven't figured it out yet) - I'm sure this woman has small kids, or at least is not super old and grew up on the same movies I did. Tangled is the latest movie, it was in theaters just a few months ago, and yet it had NO and will never have the same effect the TRUE Disney classics have!!! (Yes, I refuse to count Tangled as a Disney classics). The proof was right there in front of my eyes (or my ears actually). I knew if I'd mention any other Disney classics she would know about it without asking. But she DIDN'T know what Tangled is!!! This shows that the average person, one who is not usually into these things, will NOT remember this movie in a year from now, let alone YEARS. Yet, that same person, AND HIS -not long ago were born- KIDS, when you sing to them "Under the Sea" or life a bag pack in a "Pride Rock" position, movies that were done, like what? 20 years ago?!! they will IMMEDIATELY know what you're talking about!!!

You can ignore it... You can deny it... But a fact is a FACT!
I rest my case.
Dam-Dam! (Law and Order sound effect)

Hey everyone.

Well... I'm back... more or less. I got back to Israel about a week ago, but sadly caught a cold that is not letting go of me for a week now.
Between that, organizing the mess I brought with me, meeting my friends who I missed so much and trying to get back to "normal" life, I barely touched my computer and wacom. I have like 5700 (OMG!) messages and counting (mostly deviations) waiting for me on DA, plus a bunch of emails I need to reply to and a lot of phone calls to make.
So I know (hope) you all want me to go back to creating the Disney Moments collection among other stuff. I ask for your patience just a little bit longer. Once I get my head straight (and my nose free for breathing) I'll get back to drawing with full power!

Thank you very much.
Your humble servant,
Liron Pe'er.

And with this opportunity I would like to thank you all for your wonderful support and compliments. It really makes me happy to know I touched someone’s heart with my art. I love you all!

*EDIT*
My friend and Japanese sensei Kohashi Masato-san is looking for students who are interested in private online Japanese lessons, commissioned of course.
The lessons are taking place via Skype with a webcam. The quality is excellent and it’s almost like having the lesson in person! (And I’m talking from experience since I have taken personal private lessons from Masato-san at my home and now I’m continuing online, since Masato-san has relocated himself to the Czech Republic… long story).
All levels are available, from basic to high level.
The package is 5 lessons minimum per month. Each lesson is 80 minutes and costs 18 USD or 15 Euro. Payment is done via PayPal. If you pay for 10 lessons in advance it's cheaper.

If you are in Israel - Masato is currently on vacation in Israel and can give private lessons face to face!!! in the area of Tel-Aviv or Jerusalem.
It's 5 lessons minimum. Each lesson is 80 minutes and for 5 lessons it's 300 nis + Transport Fee. If you pay for 10 lessons in advance it's 550 nis + Transport fee!
If Israelis want to take online lessons it's 280 nis for 5 lessons or 500 nis for 10 lessons.
Masato will be staying in Israel for a short time and is leaving on February 12th. So don't postpone it, he won't be in Israel for long. You can have lessons every day or every couple of days.

So if you are interested or have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact Masato-san by email:  masatojq@hotmail.com
Masato-san is a good teacher and very nice person in my opinion, so really – feel free to contact him if you need any more details.

Thank you for your time.
Liron-chan and Masato-san.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG
Now it’s official! My composer is finishing the score as we speak!

Lady Ice will be released on the 4th of March 2010 at around 16:00pm Middle East time, and since I’m in the MIDDLE - if you’re in the far east please add about 5-6 hours, and if you’re in the far west please take off about 6-9 hours. So everyone’s happy, right?
So set your watches/reminders/pop-ups/calendars etc.

OOOOOO… I’m so excited myself!

One request I must ask all of you – I will be releasing the movie to DA and YouTube at the same time (YT will have a better quality file btw, cause well… it’s YT) so I kindly ask everyone who watches the movie - please watch it in both sites so I won’t lose viewing points. This is REALLY IMPORTANT to me.
Thank you very much.

One week people! Just one more week....

Hello.
Been a while since I posted a new journal. Anyway I would like to introduce you all to some good and very talented friends of mine - Yael Weiss & Avi Blyer (aka ), who are selling their beautiful art at:
[link]
Please visit their page and help support them (life in Tel-Aviv is very expensive...and they have 2 cats to feed...).
Thank you


On a different matter - yes, you guessed it right - my Lady Ice movie.
As you all probably noticed in the last few weeks I've been polling and polling about the DVD and such. I really don't want to promise anything (cause I've been letting you all down so many times already, and I do apologize for that) BUT I gave my composer a very close deadline and have been working day and night to prepare everything for the grand release of Lady Ice.
So open your eyes, ears and browsers for next week or so... you might find some interesting stuff in your message board...
Thank you all for watching me!
Liron Pe'er.

(P.s. Princess and the Frog releases in my country in 2 weeks from today! OMG I can't wait!!!!)
