Pretty Green Bullet|The Origin of a Name
Posted on February 2, 2010 Leave a Comment
Please click here to go there I made this five second clip while fooling around with my scanner and stop-motion animation using Powerpoint. It was the inspiration for the name of this blog. The green bullets are actually wall plugs in case nobody noticed. The clip is called Ina & the Green Bullets Eek! The […]

This is a poem I ‘illustrated’ last September. It is Clouds by Yahia Lababidi.
i saw a face

This is so, so, so bizarre. I took this photo on my Miti & Me outing. I loved the design on this decaying wall. When I saw the photo, I saw the face of a man. I then decided to draw my version of what nature had already created before me. Now this is the […]
Things That People Do With My Postcards: Amani Baqer
Posted on December 3, 2009 Leave a Comment
Weeks and weeks ago I got an itch to send off postcards to friends, acquaintances and would-be friends. Then I got this and was newly filled with excitement that not only does the Kuwaiti Post Office do its job, but that I know some pretty inspiring people. Above is the original postcard sent to (perhaps […]

This is why it’s a better idea to carve the pumpkin a whole week before Halloween.

A little over a month ago I decided that I wanted to create these postcards and send them out to my friends. I only got round to mailing them about a week ago. The first, to my blogsister Miti Aiello, arrived a few days ago. My mouth just dropped when I found this in my […]

In 2006, I had this idea for an anonymous magazine, giving the writer/artist/photographer not just the freedom to display uncensored work, but the opportunity to be whoever they choose to be. The concept was to go all out, no holds barred. I e-mailed, messaged and called my most opinionated/creative friends and requested (demanded really) submissions.
Zahra and the Elements Last Day
Posted on October 6, 2009 1 Comment
Tuesday, October 6, 2009, 11:49 am: Zahra exhumed. I’m looking at her now, head still up and her eyes still defiant. I’m wondering: what was the point of all this? Why did I want to destroy this indestructible woman? It’s only made me angrier that, despite her shoddy appearance, her head is still held high. […]
Zahra and the Elements Day 6

 Monday, October 5, 2009, 4:38 pm: Zahra’s night out with the cats didn’t faze her much so I took her to IKEA with me today instead. Then I drove over her with my Subaru Outback. Tonight I will bury her by the cornicarpus trees.

 Sunday, October 4, 2009, 9:40 am: Zahra spent the night submerged in the sink and peaceful. She was a little too happy for my liking so I kept her in the wet cold sink when I brushed my teeth this morning. I think I’ll put her out in the sunshine where the neighborhood cats […]

 Saturday, October 3, 2003: Tonight she is drowning in a pool of water and soap, where she will stay overnight, and then left outside again to dry. She will break sooner or later.

 October 1, 2009, 10:54 pm: Today, I will ride over her with my bike several times. I wonder what she will look like after that. Will she still be as ‘stoic’ (thank you Yahia Lababidi for the word)? We’ll just have to wait and see. Click more to see what she looked like yesterday.

Wednesday, September 30, 2009: This is Zahra. She is watercolor painted on a piece of 4 x 6 inch paper. For a week I will be putting her through a battery of endurance tests. Today, I will pour water on her and leave her out in the balcony to dry. The temperature outside is in […]
