• A trip to the Cedars – I

    north lebanon cedars

    To be continued tomorrow! (I have tons and tons of work these days, so will post bit by bit rather than not posting at all…)

    I consider myself very lucky to have a friend like Nadine and I wish her the best for the year to come in Montreal. Now it’s back to reality with the start of another working week… Good thing we have music to give us back the good memories. We listened to this during our road trip, and I, to  certain extent, identify with the lyrics.

    Enjoy, and most importantly, be yourself––no matter what they say! ♫ 😉

    We love the tourists that visit our beloved Lebanon in the summer… but when they bring their own cars with them they become less tourists and more traffic causes––not to mention they don’t help the economy that much either by bringing their own cars and spending less on transportation. It’s been very, very hard dealing with this. In all cases, have a lovely week and stay tuned for a MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT tomorrow 😉

    Here’s a nice song for you:

  • ‘Women shaping the economy’

    I got to do some illustration’s for ArabAd’s July issue cover story: Women shaping the economy. Very interesting report, highly recommended! Here are the illustrations for you to check out while I’m stuck in bed for the next 3 days with ‘acute amygdalitis’…

    And last but not least, here’s Neneh Cherry’s ‘Woman’. Enjoy 🙂

  • Informal announcement!!

    It’s that time of the year again!! 🙂

    1-welcome

    I’ve been working with much love and motivation on my second book: Amalgam vol.2 containing a selection of posts + NEW material! I think it’s about time I informally announced …

    That’s all I can say for now, will ‘officially’ announce everything hopefully end of the week. Thanks for being so patient 🙂 Here’s a song for you, have a beautiful monday!

  • Very happy birthday!
