Sariah's crazy doodles. I love them.

digital is boring

Rami De La Afifi (outdated website, but still some kickass stuff) and I collaborated as part of 300dpi: digital illustration exhibition in Art Matters.

Our print (4 fancy colours: 3 pantones and one metallic one) is the following, we're selling it for 35JD's. All the profits go to the NFRATGC: National Fund of Rami Afifi's Toy and Games Collective.

Enjoy this great hit!

Zeina & Nour's Christmas Tree

I'm not big on Christmas, but Zeina Darwazah and Nour Bishouty did a kickass job making a Christmas tree. Except it wasn't a tree. It was a ladder.

Death of Arabic

Amazing, isn't it?

Found at Sessine Square and I found it on Loryne's blog.

The installation was part of the Arabic Language Festival in Beirut back in June. How come we don't have dead letters on the street?

rami got me a step closer to hipsterism

Whoohoo! Le Rami Le Afifi got me the book from Dubai. Remember? The one I mentioned earlier.

I love you Rami. Hipsterlove.

those ones

I usually avoid sharing Bjork-obsession, not to be mistaken for taking an easy shortcut to hipsterland. But I think she transcends all that, especially with that beautiful video by Lynn Fox.

Speaking of the Foxes, Anna Fox is also a visual hero to me. She threw Alison Goldfrapp in mud, swamps and all of that under the series "Country Girls":

my obsession with this song (and band) is a bit unhealthy.

gossip

Zabayel!

Experimenting filthiness with the clean Arcus in Arabic, and a daunting set of 6 columns of informative text! And don't ask my what's the relation to the union jack. Maybe I just miss the good trash there?
