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)

Yesterday, Saturday 27th February, I got the chance to give a presentation to the children of the Armenian Thorossian school in Bourj Hammoud. We talked about drawing, blogging, going after what you truly like doing in life. And we had a lot of fun! I only have this terrible photo that I took with my phone from where I was presenting.

In other news, yesterday was also the book signing of the illustrated Arabic poetry book Haltabees (حلتبيس، اشعار من سمسم وخيار), result of the collaboration between the incredibly talented David Habchy & Rania Zaghir. Mashrou3 Leila also sang the poems, and cucumbers & semsom were given away with the book. Beautiful combo & beautiful people! AND I got my copy signed!

I wish you a beautiful Sunday, and I can only tell you one thing: you’re in for a special surprise tomorrow!!! So stay tuned! And while you wait, I leave you with Lhasa de Sela’s Desdeñosa.

Un, deux, trois. Deux, deux trois…
