And this poetry book belongs to the lovely Pascal Uccelli, for his upcoming book L’écriture sans calmants… Poésie Body Bags – Writing without sedatives. You can read his writings on his blog. And because you guys are amazing, you will get to see a snapshot before the book is out

Another project I worked on is illustrating a brochure for KAFA – Enough Violence & Explotation for their Listening & Counceling Center.

Now I know this is no excuse for posting so scarcely… Now that summer is fading away (finally!) and taking with it laziness, heat, and annoying humidity, things should be getting back on track very soon… Until then, have a beautiful weekend, and enjoy this lovely tune! (Pat Metheny, Airstream)

I’m too moved by this accident, so I’ll just leave music to do the talking Pat Metheny & Brad Mehldau’s Make Peace. Enjoy, and have a safe day.

The Tripoli tweetup was a great chance for me to meet lovely people in a beautiful area of Lebanon that I was not familiar with. I loved Tripoli for its authenticity, its vernacular streets, smells, colors, political posters – not to mention the amazing hospitality of the ‘traboulsiyyeh’. Oh it’s great to be a tourist in your own country, and in Leb, you can never get enough! I recommend all of you who haven’t been there to visit it and enjoy its beauties. 

Who was at the #tripolitweetup? @funkyozzi, @azzi, @dashkoun, @sunkentreasure6, @sdarine, @beirutspring, @larazankoul, @ghassanb, @danyawad

Last but not least, I met someone in the tweetup who will probably never know what twitter is.

I had a lovely little talk with 14 year old Rabih, who was working on the boat, just like an adult! Made me wonder about child labour in Leb. I don’t have any idea about the ‘numbers’. But this boy’s eyes were so full of a weird mix of innocence and harshness. He went to school for 2 years only, but then spends his life working just like an adult. It’s too sad to see how basic education can be neglected due to poverty.

Anyway enough for now, I should get back to work (I am super-overloaded in the coming days!)  Wish you all a great week!
