Storyboard & Sample
This is my storyboard for book number one - "Desert Wolf and the Black Pearl". I have been experimenting with ink as shown in the camel painting below. I'm loving the effect it gives and I think I would go ahead with it for the final paintings. This storyboard shows the pages where illustrations would be, it lets me see the illustrations as if they were one painting. (like a zoom out of the whole book). I do need lots of refrence pics of deserts, tents and arab clothes and houses. (If anyone knows of a good source, please let me know).
For now, I have to put this book aside and work on "The Prophet Mohammed" - a second book I need to illustrate because it's deadline is near. At the moment I have completed only 2 illustrations and to complete only half the book I've got 13 left to go. Would I be able to at least draw all of them out before I return to Dubai in a few days!!! The countdown begins....
(I need to stop counting and get on with it!!!!!!!!) :P

Unleash 2009
Above is an oil painting I've done in journal #0012 for the unleash project.
Description of Unleash (from their FaceBook link) :-
“Unleash” is a movement created by five Zayed University students majoring in Communication and Media Sciences.
The movement, which is a final graduation project, is part of a solution perceived to answer the problem observed amongst the youth in the UAE. This group of young people lacks inspiration and motivation to be creative, following instead popular career streams purely for monetary value, without the inner drive that enables them to fulfill their true potential.
What “Unleash” aims to do, however, is enhance the appreciation of creativity within the UAE society, foster the hidden talents of UAE residents and nationals, and promote the unfiltered image of the UAE. This will be done through creating and distributing a series of journals that will be the core of the movement.
1000 journals will be distributed around schools, universities, and other venues. These journals are meant to capture the spirit of the UAE, and document the people who live here in a new and creative way. The people will be instructed to express themselves through any means of art. Whether it is writing a poem, sketching a drawing, creating a painting, or sticking a photo, each person is able to express him or herself using one page of the journal. As soon as they are done, they should pass this journal to someone else. Eventually, when the journal is filled out, it will be returned to us.
