My Friends & Me|Go Fish
Posted on September 12, 2010 1 Comment
I started this blog a year ago for a few reasons. One of the main reasons was to share my work with others and garner immediate feedback. I never really hoped for more than a good discussion, which I must admit I rarely get. But throughout the year, I did manage to find a few […]

New Name Cards

It’s that time again. Having my works at Dar.Nur requires a new set of name cards. Because they are hand drawn, I can just do a few at a time. This is the first batch.
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 […]

Not finished yet but I’m hoping soon. My new camera is crap.
coffee

I miss coffee, and I’m not a coffee drinker. I forgot to color in the cookie in the saucer so feel free to color it in with any flavor you like. I am hungry and have no energy this morning. I would gobble a rotten apple core collected from a garbage bin if you offered […]

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 […]
new painting|still untitled

This is a painting I started a few days ago. I like to show some stages of my unfinished work because I like the way they look at that stage. I am approaching this painting very differently because I’m using many layers of diluted acrylic. Let’s just see where it goes from here.
Homes: Nada Dalloul

Months and months ago, I mailed a letter locally via Kuwait’s post. My friend finally received the letter, a picture I did on May 14th titled Dream & the Nonsense. I love the way Nada has made the colors on her shelf work. Maybe it is merely coincidental that the babushka dolls and green, oval […]
seven and a half minute face
Posted on August 26, 2010 7 Comments
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 […]
