Toot toot.

 

Last week I was asked to design a tshirt for a bride and her friends. The bride will be leaving to Beirut after she gets married, so, toot toot ala Beirut!

Syntax Interface 2013: Celebrating 15 years

This Saturday was an unforgettable one for all the people who were/are involved with Syntax. We all celebrated Syntax's 15th birthday with a handful of inspiring talks and then dinner up on the roof with some awesome music, and of course, company.

To many, many years to come, happy birthday Syntax.

My interview on Slanted Mansion.

I was ecstatic when Siobahn came over a few months ago to interview me for her personal project Slanted Mansion...

Here are some of the photos she took. For full interview go here.

TGIT... phew

Hope you have a relaxing Thursday... I can't express my happiness over this week *almost* coming to an end.

The night of the Portrait.

Last Friday was The Studio's "Portrait" exhibit... I just love that place, it feels like I'm back in highschool again every time I'm there (in a good way).

If you're in the city (amman) go and check it out, it'll be up for another week.

With my sweet Jumanji and Zeina

Can't remember who's painting this was, or the one below (oops)

One of my fav, by Mothanna Husseini

And a detail from Sandra Dajani's painting...

P.S. One person who would have been the first in line to support me is my dear Isra', but she's out there somewhere doing something that makes me really proud of her instead... Good luck with your journey isgha2o xx

On da coverrrr.

Look who's on the cover of this month's issue of OC Magazine!!!

It was such a sweet surprise to find that out, since I was told that I won't be appearing on the cover, YAY!!

My Thursday night date.

Thursday nights are usually low key to me, but tonight I spent it with this little man... let's call him mister K for now (if you have any name suggestions, please shoot them my way!).

My sister calls me up at around 5pm today asking if I'd be willing to take care of a little kitty she found abandoned in our garage, I asked her to send me a photo... minutes later I get a photo of a kitten with alien-like eyes (shut-eyed and popping out from its head kind of alien eyes). I kind of freak out but take up the challenge, afteral if we were to leave the poor thing out all night it might not survive.

First thing I did after getting home was run downstairs to where mister K was, I couldn't figure out what was wrong with his eyes; even if he was too young to open his eyes, they wouldn't be swollen the way they were, so I called up a vet friend and asked him what to do, he told me to wipe his eyes with warm water and see if any puss comes out, then prescribed some eyedrops... I did just that, and after a few minutes I couldn't believe all the puss that came from tiny mister K's eyes, I was mortified/relieved/worried, I then put some eyedrops in and an hour later it was like magic, mister K is running around curiously (his eyes are still tear-filled but nowhere near what they looked like when I first saw him). 

Even though it's been less than six hours since I met mister K, but that one stole my heart, I think he's a keeper!

Hope you have a relaxing weekend my dear readers.

Eid.

Never been more excited about Eid, this holiday came just in time. Happy Eid my dear readers.

Where, what, why.

I have been guilty for not being a regular poster. Lots of things have been going on (good and bad), I've started a new job (on top of my old one) as an instructor at a university, and I've been juggling things all the time. Weekends aren't weekends, they're just another extra two days to catch up on work (but I'm not complaining). 

I did take a mini vacation in between (will post about it tomorrow). And I am planning a quick getaway to the beach sometime soon before the weather officially gets crazy.

Two projects are in the talks (So excited about them both, I'll tell you more later).

Hope you readers didn't give up on me yet (yes, anonymous commentator, I'm talking to you!), I'll be back soon (promise).

Slanted Mansion Interview.

Today was one of those days where you keep pinching yourself to believe what's going on...

I was interviewed by the talented Siobhan Frost (pronounced: Shio-Ban).

Ms Frost is the mastermind behind the awesome Slanted Mansion project, where she gets to travel around the world to meet and interview artists, and I was literally blown away after she contacted me for an interview!!

We chatted over homemade banana bread and tea, then took some shots of my newly remodeled room.

Her awesomeness was featured on Frankie magazine, Urban Outfitters, Miss Moss, and other websites...

Today was one day I will never forget. I can't wait to share the photo shoot/interview with you guys!

Yislamoo collaboration, again.

We've done it again. My lululeesh card was a hit that Yislamoo called on me to collaborate again.

Keep an open eye (and I'll post about it when it's out :)

Mashrou' Leila are back.

I can hardly wait for tomorrow to come, Mashrou' Leila are back in town and performing this time at the Roman Amphitheater downtown. YES!

_________ on board exhibit.

Just got back from The Studio and I might say that I was blown away by the Icannotputitintowords art. If you're in town I suggest you go and check it out, it'll be going on till the 14th of this month...

 Lutfi Zayed's Awesomeness on 3 boards (I think)...

...My posse

...And my Alierz

A quote on a coaster (which in my case describes exactly what I'm going through at the moment!)...

Spin Interview.

I'm going to be live on radio, today the 30th of August, with a  little interview with Ibrahim from Spin 94.1 at around 6:15...

Tune in, yo!

Spray paint and stencils.

Today was one historical day, I had my very first graffiti out in the streets, AND I had my very first art printed on Mlabbas tshirts (which I'll be showing you soon).

VERY excited!!!

Tima.

My hair stylist Tima is such a sweetheart and a tough cookie. She has a  black belt in taekwondo and no body dares to mess with her except...
