I’ve been calling these lamps but they’re actually lanterns. Yes they are, and yes I’m anal like that. These are my first two lamps for the upcoming show. And sorry about the video, I couldn’t resist.

I’m drawing this for the next book in my series. The theme and title of the book is ‘Chores’. This time I wanted to include one of my storybook illustrations and this one will be it.

BirdTalk featuring Ghadah Alkandari: in other words, me and Bianca on a Sunday afternoon.

Thanks, Bianca, that was fun! And Mohammed Al-Saeed, brilliant photography (or is it cinematography?). I’m very impressed. Oh, and I followed Bianca’s advice and watched most of this on mute. I just can’t bear to hear myself talk. It’s physically impossible.

Eve Shreds the Note|From Nothing to an Angry Bride

This is a video I made with my son, Khaled, from footage I had taken of myself painting Eve Shreds the Note. Actually, he did most of the work; I just sat there trying to be helpful but ended up hindering his efforts to get on with it. Music by (in order): Elbow/The Birds, Aimee […]

I’m going through a very difficult time in my life at the moment. When I have times like these, I tend to eschew brushes and other means of transporting paint onto canvas; in other words, I use my hands. Or I paint on my hands. Sometimes I also paint on my arms and legs. Maybe […]

PrettyGreenBullet Exhibition Drawing

Posted on November 11, 2010 1 Comment

Because I’m always showing videos and slideshows of my works in progress, I thought it would be a good idea to turn the tables and photograph others and their creative processes. So I set up a little work station and let people do their thing. Artists include Yasmeen Dimashkie, Yousef Abu-Ghazaleh, Khaled Abu-Ghazaleh, Zainab Abu-Ghazaleh, […]

And this is how I wreck my pens. I drew this yesterday to Primavera by Ludovico Einaudi. Yeah, yeah, I know it’s all new age-y but I was in the mood. I must say that it was crazy trying to get a more or less finished face in seven minutes and a half. This was […]

New Painting|Untitled Yet

To use the term of the decade, this video was a total fail (cross the bridge for the video, I changed things around a bit). But I thought I’d post it anyway because it’s kinda clutzy like me. And it actually has a few informative seconds if you filter out the mistakes, pauses and technical […]

Why it’s Important to Play

Posted on July 5, 2010 7 Comments

I was feeling very organic last weekend so decided to go out and buy some untreated canvas and play around a little. I also remembered that I had two or three potatoes once destined for a hearty mash, just sitting around in the fridge. Who knew that this would be their destination. I […]

An Experimental Video I Did Eons Ago

Posted on June 2, 2010 3 Comments

This is a video I made in 2001 for an exhibition I had at the Dar Al-Funoon Gallery. I recommend that you view this with music playing. It’s a pretty long video with mistakes and glitches. Therefore, also recommended is doing something else at the same time. Enjoy the viewing and non-viewing.
