I had a lovely morning with my niece Yasmeen yesterday. We went to Jarir bookstore and each walked out with one bag, one canvas and a gift certificate. We went to mine where she drew and I painted. Does it get better than that on a Saturday morning?

This is a bit of a random post. Well, the post itself focuses on the creation of a space and what happens when you step back and see that space in context. It’s about the transformation of everyday objects into something new, a re-definition of what an object’s conventional job is. And then there’s a […]

I find housework so tiresome and boring. Sometimes I stay focused but other times I find it difficult not to be distracted. Maybe it’s a good thing. I hope you enjoy my story.

I hate quotation marks. For years at school I struggled with the usage of these minute yet highly specific squiggles Do they come after or before a comma?

I forgot to take a book with me to my daughter’s horse-back riding lesson last night. And I didn’t have internet coverage so that I could at least catch up with emails (Mada sucks). So I drew in my what-to-do notebook.

Richard Feynman is rolling in his grave right now. But I’ll get back to that later. My dear friend (and sister-in-law) Jana is attending a seminar in London this weekend. Known as The Generalist (and @JanarlySpeaking on social networking sites), she has been invited to attend a post-talk dinner with the speakers. We’re talking the likes […]

A short bit about the one on the left: My good friend Laura sent me a message asking me what I’d draw if someone asked me to illustrate ‘hormones’. I replied that I didn’t think there were a drawing demented enough to express my hormones. I called her later that day and we spoke for […]
