kuwaiti photographer reda salem saw my post yesterday and took it a step further. it elicited a 'what the' from me and then a huge smile when i discovered his addition to my drawing.
I started this blog a year ago for a few reasons. One of the main reasons was to share my work with others and garner immediate feedback. I never really hoped for more than a good discussion, which I must admit I rarely get. But throughout the year, I did manage to find a few surprises in my mailbox. Thanks, Reda, for taking a step. To check out Reda Salem’s work, click on fish. Over the bridge for my original sketch.

a fellow bloggist, yousef alshaikh, left me a comment on facebook that 'this is just so weird! i drew a very similar sketch a few days back and called it "the making of you".' this is his sketch.

It’s that time again. Having my works at Dar.Nur requires a new set of name cards. Because they are hand drawn, I can just do a few at a time. This is the first batch. (more…)

I have finished the first four pieces of the Stories of Eves. When I started this series for Dar.Nur, I intended on doing just four, but I’m not ready to let go yet. I’m taking the works to Dar.Nur today and they will be up and ready for their audience after Eid break. Please check Dar.Nur for details. (more…)

eve & her evil sisters eve and eve, 2010, collage on fabric, 50cm x 50cm
This piece was inspired by the original Eve and the apple, and then Snow White and her apple. Consequently I decided to include the evil step-sisters. Well into this piece, I realized that Snow White didn’t have any sisters, step or otherwise. That was Cinderella. So I thought: screw it. We all have our apples and most of us have an evil sister or two to contend with. (more…)

I miss coffee, and I’m not a coffee drinker. I forgot to color in the cookie in the saucer so feel free to color it in with any flavor you like. I am hungry and have no energy this morning. I would gobble a rotten apple core collected from a garbage bin if you offered it to me right now. So it’s best I stay in and draw my lazy pictures.
