Let's picnic by the cliff and fly a Kite this afternoon

Imagine time passing and the sun standing still...

Three Kites

Three kites, Three people, Three mountains and an infinity of sky and ocean.

Heart pulling machine pushing hand to action.

sometimes, rarely, you feel that everything is possible, it is then that you should act, fast, before that feeling fades.

Absolut Greece

Today winter started for real in Lebanon.
Weather forecast: one week heavy rain... so I stayed home (with my laptop), going thru past photos,
summer photos (I do not seem to be missing winter at all, sorry earth!) and holidays in Greece.
For Athenians, their islands are the best place to spend summer; and I do agree.
... Thus, winter time exercise is Absolut Greece. YEY!

You Can't Face Willem, You can't quit.

Christmas comes with a lot of gifts and wrappings,
this cardboard came wrapping a wine glass coming with the bottle in a box.
Laid on the table it reminded me of a "W" thus came the following:

Then, I started experimenting and looking for shapes and letters,

 trying to make sense of it all. so,...

do not let Willem (De Kooning or Dafoe) get to you,

you have got to do what you have got to do.

Woman 1 - Woman 2 - Woman 3

for a better view i am re-posting the illustrations of the triptych one after the other, thou I like them more side by side.

(quite a change in emotions after the cute calendar girl, Lola.)

How Lola met her cat or a handy calendar & note book. 

Flying Kites

Let's go do nothing

On a boat going to Paros, Greece... the ease of holidays; People sleep, drink coffee, hold hands, look at the horizon or... take photos, almost doing nothing to spend time on a boat before getting to the Island's beaches and spend time abundantly, doing nothing. Almost.

My summer bag sketched and wallpapered

Inspiration of a Meeting and/or an Aspiration

Anticipate

For what happens if the things i see start fading

                                                                       away 

becoming memories

(cherished memories) 

                                         or just another forgotten day

Trying to stop, stop everything

Failing to stop, stop everything

and I go

Elections at the most surprising places

First, Ellina always have sexy ads on this turn of the damascus highway, usually it is a sexy female body with some not so sexy lingerie. This is their latest ad, Perfectly Wild ad, Perfectly out of place, Perfectly vulgar. Second, did Salam Maamari, a candidate for a Aley seat in the parliament, or his supporters really had to have his poster in that (close) spot?

Surprise! just out of nowhere from the middle of the last green spot of the mountain, a huge Unipole.

Family Trip

I was in a car behind, and thought "3 people on a motorbike, that can be dangerous", though this is not very uncommon in Beirut.

then we decided to skip that slow vehicle and stay away from possible trouble... surprise it is 5 people on board!

خلّيني مدبرس مبسوط

خلّيني مدبرس مبسوط
لشو الإزعاج، ما أنا هيك مرتاح
شو ضروري كل يوم إضحك،
وإفرح وإسهر و...ما هوي لازم اكسر الروتين
بكم يوم احباط... وبيمشي الحال

حلْ عني اذا بتعمل معروف
خلّيني وحدي مدبرس مبسوط
بوكرا شي نهار بدق إلك
منضهر، منضحك، منسهر منفرح
بس مش اليوم
خلّيها لغير نهار
دخيل عرضك بس متكون
بفترة إحباط وحدك وتقول
خلّيني مدبرس مبسوط

معقول حسّ بإزعاج

Garderie Le P'ti Nid Rénovée

Du Lundi au Vendredi, toujours au meme emplacement, chaque jour une case differente.

"Si bébé ne parle pas, bébé pense et apprend!"

...et voila ce que pense Luna et Jojo du P'ti Nid.

Lifting of the logo of the P'ti Nid daycare

The main request for this lifting was to have less orange (due to the political connotation of the color) and change the typo while keeping the same logo.

Bake cake not violence

Saturday Morning Walk

When you are an old lady walking at the corniche with a cane in one hand, a bent back, and eyes that can only see what is in front of them, you think and you remember your youth... you remember when you could jog and when you had that gorgeous body ....
