Back from Ottawa

I took these pictures on the way back from Ottawa. The trip back was boring so I started playing with my camera for a bit and ended up with these.

My Blue Untitled

I finally had the design turn to something more interesting than clean line and colors. I'll be honest, I can't spend too much time cleaning a drawing. I feel disconnected from my work doing so and eventually mess up in the final. I like the nice sketchy line with an explosion of colors :) Here's a WIP of the poster. 

An older WIP is also available on my blog 

-keep munchin' in style :-)

The 150 Word Essay

Everything starts with a hint of confusion, not knowing how it’s going to start or how it’s going to end. And it all starts with a story. A story that needs to be told. A story so strong that it, often disguised inside other tales, has never been forgotten from the face of the earth. A story so powerful that it has inspired every narrative. In every account you read you will see its mark; you see its influence and the steps that is has taken toward perfection. A story so powerful that it has changes the course of our lives. It’s the story of a young man and it‘s the tale of a young woman, whose choices and decisions have changed the course of humanity. Whose success and failure were humanity best and worst moments. It is the story of - oups! I just got to 150 words. sorry!

Sparrows at Nathan Phillips Square

I took these while we (me and Ahmed) were at Nathan Phillips Square for the Manifesto concert. The concert sucked, and the only person I enjoyed at the concert was K'naan.

Got

Full view

Here a project i wanted to post for a long time now. this was done in just a few (4 or 5)days . cuz i had to rush it before going for a trip to montreal.
the whole concept is a narrative image that u follow while listening to MosDef song "got" .
there is a transition in space & time but also in the life of the characters that evolve in the city. from left to right.

the full size of the piece when i printed it was 7 or 8 11x17 papers put next to each other. i was fucking huge.
i had to color the thing in three separate files and when i put it all together it just kept on crashing my mac... man it was so heavy...
so what do you think about it?

Water

Hey guys, I though I'd post something before I get very busy again.
Here are some pictures from a water fountain near my school. I find water to be extremely fascinating when photographing it, its never the same, ever!

I wish I had a camera with higher shutter speed :(

Bee story

So once upon a time, I went to take photos of my school. There I was taking pictures, when I noticed a group of flowers which looked amazing. I wandered over to take a look and I found some bees pollenating the flowers, so I decided to follow them with my camera. Unfortunately they never stopped moving :( so the picture came out showing the bee's rear. In the end the bees had won, and I went home with pictures of flowers with a bee in it, instead of a picture of a bee near a flower. Did I mention I saw a ladybug too.

The End

Start Again?

Hey guys, this blog has been pretty empty over the summer, I guess it was because most people were working and had no time. Hopefully this blog will start up again.

Death of a Magician

what would the funeral of a magician look like?
well here's my take... whats yours?
ball point ink on paper.
the black composition in the back of this piece was also in the original piece. the paper was cut and placed on a black cardboard for the effect...
oh and everything was drawn one shot ... no designing and stuff. straight to final result. (that's what happens when u leave it for the last minute)

btw i think its almost time for me to post the big piece on mos def... soon.... just cant wait... i'm sure you'll like it!

Rain

Few days ago thunderstorm, and i ran outside to take some photographs on my driveway, but it was shortlived. it only rained for 2 mins. I captured some rain and this lone weed.

Sunrise

These are taken near the lake where I live. They are taken around 5:30 am. Sunrises are one of the everyday wonders which some of us fail to observe.
