They're here!

You can find them at Bullets & Butterflies, Mercato shopping mall.

Without sun I am silent

Haq El Laileh

To celebrate Haq El-Laileh, Bullets & Butterflies approached me to come up with a package to hold chocolate favors to give to people visiting their store.
Last year I was also commissioned to design Haq El Laileh giveaways.

Bullets & Butterflies Summer Display

I don't post enough about where or in what form my work ends up. If you've been to Mercato Shopping mall recently, you might have seen this illustration as part of the Bullets & Butterflies promotional summer display.

Spent this morning taking photos of Bullets & Butterflies new items.

Just came back from London.

Voluspa candles

They smell sublime. And when the wax is all gone, they'll make lovely containers.

Have I done this before?

They say it's hard to experience the same thing twice. Even if the circumstances are identical, the outcome will differ. This evening, however, I feel like I've been visited by a ghost of the past.

Bullets & Butterflies boutique

I'm working on adding all the work I've done for Bullets & Butterflies to my portfolio. In the mean time, I thought I'd share a few shots I took of the boutique when I last visited them.

Women's jewelry

... and men's hardware

The store just opened at Mercato shopping mall, bringing an eclectic selection from international and independent designers. A place like this was made for adventurous men and women; frontliners when it comes to trend setting, and original in their sartorial tastes.
There's a limited number to all items, so they're sure to add an unparalleled kick to one's ensemble, if not make an original gift to the person who has everything.

Haqq El-Lailah

Two days ago, I've been requested to make these giveaway bags for Haqq El-Lailah

Those not familiar with Haqq El-Lailah, the literal translation is "For tonight". It's a traditional event rather similar to Qarqe'an, only people in the UAE have it on 13th to15th of Sha'ban rather than Ramadan.

Absence II

A wonky internet connection. Meetings. 

Working on presentations for those meetings. 

All contribute to the lack of updates lately.

I know most readers are traveling or on holiday, 

so I hope no one really minds.
