Illustrating & Celebrating

Celebrating is always amazing

 finding a good reason to celebrate is not always easy, & this time it is a great event that I am so proud of.

2 weeks ago we celebrated my best friend's illustrations in the children's book: ma a7la a'nawm (sleeping is so beautiful). she is super talented and fond of children's illustrations. 

This is really a happy event. A dream coming true.

It all started 5 years ago, when we used to work together. And when the depressing clouds got thicker over Lebanon we had to find a way out of the blues so we got crazy, we got active, we designed characters, realized them on cut stickers and we started to spread them all around... everywhere... even on waste baskets and municipal electricity boxes!

November 2006 - Al sanaye'e Park

It was inspiring and kind of relieving and then we got more involved in street art.

we participated in a competition held by Goethe Institute and we won!

Zari never stopped drawing and illustrating since then, she had her own blog, participated in many workshops, and she started illustrating children's books! they were in small format, and this one is the first in full colors.

A great milestone and a huge step to reach the stars!
