Welcome
WELCOME TO MY 25 PERCENT
Fact: I work 9 hours per day, 45 hours per week.
Fact: There are 24 hours in a day, 168 hours in a week.
Inevitable Conclusion: I spend about 25 percent of my time at work.
This is the story of my 25 percent. It is the story of a young software engineer, who one day found himself working in a large international software company.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I was born in 1977, managed to survive a childhood in the turbulent eighties, and eventually came out quite well (except for an occasional desire to listen to the Pet Shop Boys).
I've been drawing ever since I remember myself. My first drawings as a young child were of Disney characters, but by the time I reached first grade I professionalized in drawing Smurfs. It was at about the same time that I discovered comics, while bumping into publications of Asterix The Gaul in a local magazine. I immediately fell in love with the funny looking Asterix & Obelix, forever busy with hunting boars and bashing Romans. Today I own almost every Asterix book that was ever published, and I still never get tired of reading them over and over again.
I continued to read comics throughout my childhood and adolescence, adding satirical publications such as Mad Magazine to my list. I also had a few tries in creating comics back then, but it was always drawing "for the drawer".
After a 3 year service in the navy, I went on to studying computer sciences. My passion for software is derived from the same sources that fuel my love for art – the joy of creating something out of nothing.
Today, I work as a software engineer in a large software corporation. I draw My 25 Percent whenever I can find the time, mostly on nights and weekends. I am married, and live with my wife and son in a suburb of Tel Aviv.

COMMISSIONS
Sorry, I don't do commissions for now. It's not that I don't want to. I simply haven't got the time.

Great comics
Thanks, glad you like it!
I read some of your caricatures and they are great. keep doing them.
I hope that one day you will make money of them so you could leave your "CRAP" Company,
or maybe start your own CRAP :)
Thanks,
Tomer.
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed my comics.
CRAP is a fictional company. I personally enjoy my workplace, otherwise why would I continue working there? (Oh right, the financial crisis...) :-)
Seriously, I really enjoy my workplace! Plus, where would I get so many ideas for my strips if not from my actual experience in Hi-tech companies?
Anyway, thanks for stopping by and commenting! Do come back, new chapter will be published soon!
