  • Live from ArabNet – Day 2

    All I can say is that ArabNetME conference KICKED A**! Congrats again to all who participated to making this event as successful as it was. I am proud of you all for organizing such a successful event to encourage the web in the Middle East and allow the “big” people and the “new” people to mingle. You have exceeded my expectations by far! 🙂

  • Defining Entrepreneurship

    This week’s comic for InteractiveME


    Yea I just had to say what I really think about the term “entrepreneur” being overused like that over the web.

    Check out PART 2 of “Defining Entrepreneurship”.

    Wish you a lovely day! 🙂

  • Illustrating for ELLE Oriental

    No comic today, just some illustrations that I did for this month’s ELLE Oriental magazine! More specifically for their report “ELLE en parle” which tackled the topic of “Hospitality in the Middle East”.

  • Illustrations + feature in ArabAd

    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! 🙂
