saturdaze in samandal

'saturdaze' in samandal issue #16 . 2020

i am happy to announce that 'saturdaze', a mini comic by yours truly and my buddy mohammed (momo) al shaibani has been included in the latest issue of samandal. it was early last year when momo and i first saw their open call to submit comics for their upcoming issue. we worked through all of ramadan last year, making sure we finish our comic and submit it on time. i'm so thankful that we did. along with exhibiting 'saturdaze' in last year's 'made in tashkeel' summer show, i can now add that 'saturdaze' has been officially published as well (you can read about last year's 'saturdaze' post here).
i've been somewhat of a follower of samandal comics over the years, and love their commitment to showcasing independent artists and their stories. it's a real honour to finally be included in samadal alongside some really cool artists, and with my buddy momo. thank you team samandal for having us included in your current issue.
unfortunately, samandal isn't sold in the united arab emirates so if you're looking for a copy, it's best to reach out to them via their website or on instagram. and if you're in beirut, or somewhere around the world that sells samandal, i hope you get a copy. issue 16 is pretty great!
