Stories of Eves|Eve & Adam
Posted on September 19, 2010 4 Comments
I decided for my March exhibition at Gallery Tilal to continue my Stories of Eves series. I just feel like I haven’t explored the subject to my fullest capacity (in other words, I’m still not bored with it). And in light of some personal current events, there is still so much I want to say […]
Dar.Nur|Stories of Eves
Posted on September 8, 2010 1 Comment
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|Eve & Her Evil Sisters Eve and Eve
Posted on September 5, 2010 Leave a Comment
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 […]

This is one of four pieces I’m working on for display at Dar.Nur in the newly opened 7Zones shopping center. They will be up on September 12. You can visit her charming boutique any time before then. Just check her timings in the link I’ve included above. Cross the bridge for more pictures and a […]
Lub-Dub|The Drawings
Posted on August 13, 2010 Leave a Comment
When I started the video Lub-Dub, I decided to use tracing paper which I thought would be both versatile and practical (since I don’t use proper animation software). I also love the fierce crinkle, especially after being heavily sketched on (I did suffer not a paper scratch, but a vicious paper stab-never crumple up heavy […]
The Bulletin Again
Posted on July 29, 2010 Leave a Comment
There’s something to say about random placement, even though I’m not sure if things are placed randomly by any adult. I have my handy, huge bulletin board in front of me which I occasionally find a place to tack items which are miscellaneous or difficult to place in a proper container. So I end up […]
Lost, Found & Fake
Posted on July 28, 2010 2 Comments
When I work, I sometimes like to fantasize that the piece I’m drawing, painting or collaging was somehow found during an archeological dig or the excavation of a thousand year old church or accidentally under a mound of volcanic ash. I don’t know why I’m so obsessed with antiquities and all things with a history. […]

I’ve always loved the look of dilapidated buildings, especially when the inner walls had once been papered or postered. So Rachel Ashwell.
Birds & Bees

We had quite a huge dust storm a few days ago. The next day I found this paper in one of my plants. Just a single sheet of paper, blown away from its book, among other windswept jetsam and flotsam. I picked it up and thought: hmm, I wonder what bit of knowledge/nonsense has been […]
The Decosquad Again
Posted on July 17, 2010 19 Comments
I don’t care what anyone says, I love decopatching. If I had my way I would decopatch anything and anyone. I was playing around ages ago and did this but never shared it with anyone but my closest and dearest. Cross the bridge for detailed photos.
Black Sketchbook|Drawings & Scraps
Posted on February 4, 2010 Leave a Comment
These are three pages from my black sketchbook. I bought the sketchbook a few years ago because I liked the novelty of it, and I knew that I would have to somehow work around the problem of drawing on black pages. One of the ‘projects’ I gave myself was this one: I asked my friend […]
The Decobitch

I need wall art. I have too many of my own pieces up, can’t afford other people’s work and my friends and family won’t draw for me. So I end up doing stuff like this to put up on my bare walls. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy collaging and decopatching as much as anyone’s […]
Breakfast Madness

I was commissioned by The Early Bird‘s Bianca Simonian to create two to three drawings/pictures for her new Jabriya branch. This project really inspired me and I could have gone on and on with it. I was doubly inspired by a new batch of decopatch paper I got for my friends Bettina and Lubna’s bead […]
