Liverpool:: Graphic Design Exhibition.

I'm taking part in an exhibition this month, June 7th till the 29th, in Liverpool. If you're there by any chance it would be nice to go check it out (and send over photos, of course!).

You can read more about it and the participating designers/illustrators here.  

Katara Art Center: Amman Pop-up Shop

The Amman Design Pop-Up Shop opened at Katara Art Center (KAC) in Doha, Qatar last month and will stay open till the 15th of June, if you're there you should go check it out!

Here are some pictures courtesy of KAC.

        

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!
    And for her friends...     

Celebrating a love union.

 I had the pleasure of working on Zayn   ab's wedding card illustration this past May. Here goes.

Animal Series.

I've been busy working on a whole new series I came up with, of course, the Arab element is evident; as in most of my work, but this time without the use of my usual Arabic lettering, but symbols or outfits that have an Arab touch instead.

Here's a sneak preview. Good news on the way, will let you in soon.

Fashion 4 a Cause tank design.

A few weeks ago a very special event was launched at Wild Jordan. Artists and designers came together and designed graphics that were printed on tank tops, to help raise money for the completion of the King Hussein Cancer Center extension building.

I feel so lucky to have been part of it. Fashion 4 A Cause tank tops can be found at the Wild Jordan shop and PinkDust.

I wish I had photos of the other designs, but here's a good excuse for you to go check them out yourself!

 

New items added to my Etsy store.

I've added a few original paintings and prints to my store.

Check them out here.

Children's illustration.

I've been busy with a few projects, and this is one of them (my favorite).
I'll talk more about it in another post (it's almost out).

Hello Blog, with capital "B".

Life has been good lately, no butterfly pooping and rainbows though.

News? I'm working on a super (awesome), kick-ass, idon'thaveenoughwordstodescribeit kind of project (well two actually)... and one of them is a personal project of mine that I've been working on hours-on-end. It does get tiring, but I'm so excited to get it out in the public that I'm kicking my own butt to get it out.

I will be posting about it sometime (soon), it should be out by the end of Ramadan if all goes smoothly and if I don't get sick/hit by a bus/beaten up (God forbid).

I've also come across some really good music (how would I even go on without music in life, oh music, I love you so, muah)... might be my meds talking right now (or not).

Anyway, here's a doodle I made that was inspired by Daughter's song Smother (beautiful, beautiful lyrics by the way).

شعر الهوى.

Anyone who knows me knows that I'm obsessed with everything hair, I'm always getting into debates on hair and was even called a beard enthusiast by, um, myself. 

yea... 

Yislamoo online store.

Yislamoo just got their own online store. That's where you can grab your own little piece of me. Just go here.

The look-alike.

He's always being stopped on the street and mistaken for Ghawaar himself. He secretly likes it, but pretends to be annoyed by it. He works at the local fish market, and eats his knafeh with Turkish tea everyday after lunch. Meet Muhsin.

Burka and Shawareb.

Remember this teaser? Well, here they are revealed, and still up for purchase on the walls of The Studio till the 14th of September.

Hope you're having a great week!

_________ 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...
