majlis al midfa

majlis al midfa . 2016

just around the end of my first semester at grad school, i was approached by shurooq to be one of their contributing artists to create an illustration used as trophy artworks. the theme of the artwork was based on one of sharjah's historical, traditional buildings, majlis al midfa – famously known for having a cylindrical shaped windtower instead of the standard, rectangular windtowers commonly found in historical architecture from the region.

my contribution was a simple black & white illustration of the famous structure. i do hope whoever is rewarded this illustration enjoys it and gives it a happy home...

carolina + jeff wedding invite . 2017

here's a short post congratulating my textiliar friend carolina on getting married to her special jeff. earlier this year, carolina asked me to illustrate the happy couple in my particular style, which would be included in their wedding invitation. the simple illustration you see above was printed as a card, and included in their wedding invitation pack. i was so happy to see how my illustration worked really well with the overall visuals of their wedding invite.
even though i've only known carolina for a year through the textiles mfa program at risd, i was truly honoured when she asked me to contribute to her special day through my drawings. unfortunately i couldn't be in mexico this month for the wedding as i'm home for the summer. but i am definitely there in spirit. congratulations carolina + jeff. i wish you all the best on this new chapter in your lives shared together. much love...
