'three queens' published in corniche volume 5 . 2023

i'm happy to share my latest short comic for the fifth volume of 'corniche', an annual comics anthology published by the sharjah art foundation. when i'm asked what 'three queens' is about, i say it's a story about three queens waiting for a disco ball to hatch! readers can interpret the story however they want. but for me, it's a metaphor for the things and people that make up my world, and i probably wouldn't be the person i am today without them. i combined things that carry meaning to me and came up with a bizarre story with a lot of heart. i'm really proud of this one and i hope whoever reads it loves it as much as i do...
corniche volume 5 is now available. make sure to grab a copy – it's a beautiful edition with amazing talent. i'm so honoured to be included in all five volumes so far! i can't thank the corniche team enough for all their effort and support through the years. a huge thank you to the super talented nasir nasrallah for including me in every edition so far, as well as his beautiful efforts in creating the cover artwork for each volume.

palestine 2023 for art jameel shop

'palestine 2023' for art jameel shop . 2023

i was invited by the jameel art centre to contribute to the art jameel shop's 'posters for palestine' campaign. i'm super honoured to be a part of this, alongside some of my favourite friends and industry peers. the campaign includes newly commissioned posters by a select group of artists and designers, including myself! i reworked my illustration from my last post (see here), from being less aggressive to a more optimistic and positive visual. 
sales for each poster will directly be donated to the emirates red crescent's 'tarahum – for gaza' relief campaign (donate now to the campaign by clicking on link here). the posters are currently available at the art jameel shop pop up during dubai design week at dubai design district (d3). the pop up runs from 7 – 12 november 2023, so make sure to go down there and grab copies of your favourite posters.
