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.

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 […]
hand in oil

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 […]
New Painting|Six Eves Play Hide-and-Go-Seek
Posted on January 21, 2011 3 Comments
I started this painting yesterday morning. I decided to make it a landscape format rather than portrait because the canvas is too tall for my easel. That was the easy step. I then thought: hmm, why don’t I actually paint a landscape. The only time I’d ever painted a landscape from life was in Madrid, […]
PrettyGreenBullet Exhibition Drawing

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, […]

seven and a half minute face

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
Posted on August 22, 2010 3 Comments
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.
Pretty Green Bullet|The Origin of a Name

Please click here to go there I made this five second clip while fooling around with my scanner and stop-motion animation using Powerpoint. It was the inspiration for the name of this blog. The green bullets are actually wall plugs in case nobody noticed. The clip is called Ina & the Green Bullets Eek! The […]
My Pecha Kucha Night Vol. One Presentation
Posted on February 2, 2010 1 Comment
The first volume of Pecha Kucha Night Kuwait was held at the Dar Al Athar Al-Islamiyah (DAI) on March 11, 2009. I am posting it today because I just discovered how to upload videos onto my blog. I don’t like watching this video for two reasons: the first is that I don’t generally enjoy watching […]

This is a poem I ‘illustrated’ last September. It is Clouds by Yahia Lababidi.
Evolution of a Name

If you’ve visited my original site, you may have seen this very crude little video (yes, I’m crude and proud of it) I made on powerpoint. Because I’m slowly transferring my posts, I felt like doing this one today. I haven’t upgraded my blog to directly upload videos here so bear with me as you’re […]
