Have you ever had an invisible friend? Or further still, an invisible life? A life that only you and a few others know about, that many of your most loved ones don’t, or can’t even imagine, exists. Summer is about to end. Next week, an old reality will set back in as my other life […]

I always put my phone under the pillow at night. That’s because I use it as an alarm clock and whatever I have as the alarm signal, I am soon conditioned to be very annoyed with. At least when it’s under my pillow the sound is muffled. And because I use my phone, sometimes people […]

On our way back to Kuwait from Paris. This time I had a window seat which I always prefer. The estimated flight time was 5 hours and 50 minutes. I was counting time by creating squares for each minute we were flying and methodically scratching them out. That flight (also a daytime flight) I saw […]

It was a cold day in Paris when I did this sketch. I was in my hotel room playing with this watercolor brush/pen Amira bought me. It’s a plastic tube with a brush at the end. You fill it up with water and then brush over the surface to get a watercolory effect. It was […]

These were done on board Kuwait Airways in late 2006. I was flying with Amira Behbehani (to my left) and Thuraya Al-Baqsami (on my right). We were en route to Paris for a group show at the Institut Du Monde Arabe (also with us was Suhaila Al-Najdi sitting in Business Class the lucky duck). It […]

I am not a feminist. But I’ve always believed in a woman’s strength and ability to excel in fields not deemed appropriate to her. I do think there are areas where a man would prove far more adequate than a woman, but these are purely physical, like lifting a piano or shot putting. I like […]

This was a short flight aboard a rented Novair Airbus 33o (I think Norwegian). In a tumultuous period of my life, I found peace at 35,000 feet. I was alone on this trip, attending my friend Dagher’s wedding. It was my last trip to Cairo [I have been to Cairo since I posted this].

I’m going to start posting my airplane sketches on here. These are drawings I do on a plane. Because I’m a nervous flyer-well, I used to be anyway-my sketching style changes. There is a purpose to most of these drawings and that’s to help me pass time.The drawings are different and distinguished in several ways. […]
Name Cards|February 16

Tonight is Jamm’s February 17 charity auction viewing. Whenever there is a major event, and I remember, I like to prepare some name cards to distribute. Today I made a very generous and optimistic ten because I am becoming extremely more picky these days about who I give my number out to.

Ooh I hate it when I make these onsite mistakes! I don’t usually go back to old posts but I decided to do it with this one for some reason. It’s supposed to say ‘on’, not ‘to’. Damn!
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 […]
