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 […]

This picture is more about the lady in the corner, discretely depilating herself, than the woman in the foreground. Body hair has always been a tremendous complex for a hirsute Arab like me.

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 […]
