I was very lucky to illustrate 2 cartoons for the presentation of Donatella Della Ratta at the Young Leaders Social Media Cafe. Dona is the manager of Creative Commons Middle East, and we are now helping her organize the 1st CC Salon in Beirut, so stay tuned!
Here are the 2 illustrations:
1- “From Bedouins in a desert to media savvy terrorists: those are the Arabs in the eyes of the West. How do we get rid of this??”
2- “Switching from the culture of consumption to the culture of creation. Can Arabs do it?”
And here’s a photo of Dona’s presentation [credits: Darine Sabbagh]

And if I might ad, the execution of the C&F ad is terrible, as it is clearly a cushion inserted into the woman’s clothes, and not a baby.
Again, I’d like to thank Exotica and their creative team for responding positively to the criticism of their campaign [I knew from trusted sources that the reason they updated the campaign is because of the reaction they saw through social media]. If that’s the case, then they are pioneers
What do you guys think about the other campaigns I just shared?
Exotica is now all over the Lebanese blogosphere: here isPlus961’s, Liliane’s & Joe’s take on this.
On another note, I got back from Zahleh [as you might have noticed
] and will update you tomorrow! Have a beautiful day with this smooth song from Spirited Away soundtrack by Joe Hisaishi!
