I will be posting weekly tech-related comics on InterativeME website! That was the first one that was posted yesterday. Now seriously, what do YOU think about this whole Google Buzz thing?
Before I leave you back to your busy days I want to share with you this beautiful fanart by Peno Mishoyan. Thank you SO MUCH Penig ๐ !!
And last but not least, here’s the song of the day, by an artist whose music has charmed me for the past few days: Andy McKee ~ Africa.
Enjoy! ๐
No comic today: it’s Sunday. Instead, here are the latest TV interviews I participated to this week (yes I know it’s weird, 2 interviews in the same week!)
The first was on BBC Arabic, and was about the blogging experience in Lebanon compared to other Arab countries. Here it is:
For the full episode, check out fellow blogger Samer Karam’s post who was also interviewed.
The other was on mtv and was about the blog, book, exhibitons, comics, illustrations and life. Here it is in 2 parts:
Have a great Sunday! ๐
Today I got interviewed along with Ayman Itani & Samer Karam on Future TV by Amer Tabsh, in Alam Al Sabah morning show. So I got to publicly express how Twitter & Facebook have brought me closer to you my darlings! ๐
And here’s a very touching illustrated strip I got from Rita.
I have one thing to say to you Rita…
Hope you enjoyed the show, and here’s a jazzy tune for you to enjoy on a breezy Sunday (a big thanks goes to Abz who has been emailing me beautiful jazzy songs!) ย Lisa Ekdahl’s But Not For Me from her album ‘Heaven Earth & Beyond’. Cheers!

Who puts a stair step atย the entrance of a door?!?! Good thing it wasn”t live! Since I can”t keep any secrets away from you, I decided to share with you this small mishap ๐ Thanks again for all the support you gave on Twitter (and off, of course), I really enjoyed getting live feedback on the interview ๐ I was so worried they would not have cut out this part, and you were all watching… I”m so glad they did ๐ Here is the interview to those who missed it! (Notice how the part between entering the door and sitting in the salon is “missing!”)

Thanks to Christine, Nathalie & all the team of the show who made this happen.
Have a lovely long weekend, and happy adha to all concerned!! ๐
P.S. As you see I have been slow in posting, because a lot has been happening the last month, and I am officially tired and REALLY need a break. I do hope you forgive me! Will still keep you updated in all cases, but just at a bit slower rate… Don”t forget that the will be going until Dec 22.
I was delighted to be the first artist chosen by Agenda Culturel to introduce their new section: illustrated Q & A’s. Here are the four questions and how I answered them. Go get the latest issue of L’Agenda Culturel for more ๐
It’s in French, and because I love you a lot, I’ve translated them for you ๐
Q1. Que vous apportent les rรฉactions des lecteurs de votre blog?
(Q. What do the reactions of your blog readers bring you?
A. “Haha! Let’s see what my darlings have to say about what I posted last night” They’re my daily bread. Their reactions encourage me, make me laugh & think. My readers are my darlings!)
I was fortunate to meet Ghada Azzi, managing editor of ArabAd magazine at the book signing. We have since worked on illustrations for the ‘Advertising in Lebanon’ special report of October issue, along an extremely kind feature that Ghada wrote. Thank you so much Ghada for your invaluable support! I won’t keep you waiting too long, you’ll find below the illustrations for the special report along with the article and illustrated Q&A’s (you should get the magazine now for the extremely interesting content and report about Leb ad industry!). Have a wonderful day! ๐
