'fade away & illustrate 002: beyoncé & other super heroines' back cover by azim al ghussein . 2016

i'd like to start off this post by thanking everyone that came by the great+everlasting booth at the middle east film & comic con (mefcc) over the weekend. it was great meeting you all and thank you so much for the support.
i wanted to share the second issue of fade away & illustrate, which was done in collaboration with my best mate and talented artist azim al ghussein. for issue 002, the theme was 'beyoncé & other super heroines', where azim and i illustrated our favorite female pop artists as super heroines. the theme was relevant to mefcc, and was launched over the con weekend. each of us drew 10 pop stars, as well as this issue's cover star, beyoncé. even though our illustration styles are quite different, we compliment each other very well in this issue.
above is a teaser of some of the illustrations you'll find in the zine. if you'd like to own a copy (trust me, you want one for yourself and your friends), send me an email and the issue is yours. 'fade away & illustrate 002: beyoncé & other super heroines' is 14. 8 x 21 cm (a5), 28 pages, priced at aed 30.
a big thank you goes to azim for collaborating on the issue, as well as partnering for great+everlasting at mefcc. looking forward to more collaborations. stay tuned folks...
