A few years ago I bought a sketchbook. At the time I couldn’t find these sketchbooks in Kuwait so would buy them in Europe or the States. It was always special when I bought a new one and I took very good care that the books were themed by medium and state of mind. This particular sketchbook was very emo-oriented as opposed to being whimsical like my other ones. I think most of it was filled using Japanese poster paints. The book itself has a very antique, rugged feel to it, like it had been left out in the rain and sun. I haven’t filled all the pages yet, but I hope to some day. (more…)

i'm so pretty, you're so pretty
I wouldn’t call it an accusation, but people tell me I paint ‘ugly’ women. First of all, I don’t think my women are ugly at all. They are gloriously formidable, headstrong and confrontational. In a way, I think that subconsciously I create them as an alterego. They are not your conventional heroine who goes around saving people at night. But they save me on a daily basis. Secondly, this woman here, she’s quite pretty I think.

cluck cluck
Have you ever had an invisible friend? Or further still, an invisible life? A life that only you and a few others know about, that many of your most loved ones don’t, or can’t even imagine, exists. Summer is about to end. Next week, an old reality will set back in as my other life returns. A life where I’m a little girl again; not little as in ‘young’, but little as in being denied the responsibility which comes with the practical meaning of freedom. But until then, I’ll be feeding my invisible chicken, feasting on their invisible eggs and enjoying my invisible life.

i don't like
I am not a feminist. But I’ve always believed in a woman’s strength and ability to excel in fields not deemed appropriate to her. I do think there are areas where a man would prove far more adequate than a woman, but these are purely physical, like lifting a piano or shot putting.
I like the woman in this drawing. I like the way she’s standing there, like she’s waiting for an explanation. Her reaction to it will render the explainer weak-kneed and speechless. I want to be like her, and I want to be able to carry off a man’s shirt like she does.
