Mike Darnell - Israeli Pop Art

Hi there : )

My name is Mike Darnell.
I am an Israeli Digital Pop Artist.

I was born in Jerusalem in 1974 and have lived there ever since. This is probably a major factor in dictating the subjects that interest me and inspire my art:

- Middle East politics
- Judaism and religion
- Eroticism and its usage in media and advertising

My process involves fiddling with images and creating digital collages out of them. I like color. I love Jerusalem. I like being able to get a serious message across with humor. I like the fact that my entire creative process is digital. I try keeping things simple but often fail...

You are welcome to visit my
website or Follow me on Twitter (@Pop_Art).

To pay the bills I currently work as Creative Director at Oleh Technologies & teach at the HIT's School of Design in Holon.

I volunteer as a consultant at the Jerusalem Business Development Center and the New Israel Fund's NPO training center, teaching businesses and NPOs how to get the most out of their online presence.
