My Drawings

So, I noticed that I don’t talk a lot about myself here… Mainly ‘cause I’m not the subject, BUT I thought maybe you guys would like to know what I’m into, what I do, so I decided to dedicate a post to my work and show you guys a few of my latest drawings. I’ve selected bits of everything, personal artworks, fashion sketches, and even an insight of my personal sketchbook.

So tell me if you like them, tell what you think, what you feel and get from these. And if you’re on tumblr follow my latest blog to catch future artworks.

Enjoy !

My Room

Hello peeps ! Tonight’s post is very special, I’m running away from art and fashion and discoveries to share something really stunning !

For those who know me, this is going to sound like a miracle, maybe even super natural ! But don’t worry, I’m fine, I’m feeling really good, something just hit me.

So for the others I have to introduce… Basically I’m the kind of person who always has to tidy his room, if you ask people around me they’ll be like: “What the fuck ! Last time I found some  rubber duck in his bed !’’ or like: ‘’Maaan there’s a hammer on your stairs !’’.

Yeah, I’m like this and I like my room this way, with books and papers, drawings all over my desk, random toys and tools here and there, I just love it ! And people always go like: “How do you find what you need in this mess ?’’, fact is: it may be a mess but I know that my black pen is under the book about perfumes that’s under the pants next to the phone ! And I just hate it when someone decides to tidy everything because I get so lost !

It’s not that I don’t like tidying it, it’s always better when organized, I just don’t have time to sacrifice ! And I know I’m not the only one so if you’re just like me… Well high five !

So, today my room looked like this:

         

Ahum…

And so I couldn’t find a space on the desk to draw properly…

And as usual I started clearing a part of it, and step by step I was engaged on a dangerous path…. I was tidying my room ! Yes ! Yes ! I don’t even believe it myself…

And now watch the pictures… It’s as if some mad lady with OCD passed by here and spent the afternoon cleaning…

      

This is exceptional my friends ! Even I am having difficulties to understand what happened and to actually believe there’s nothing, not even a piece of paper on my desk !

But I can already tell you that it’s not going to last… I’ll see how much it’s going to last this time…

And to finish here’s a picture of my “wall’’ that’s growing everyday with more and more pictures…

And now you must be thinking it’s still very crowded, and wondering how I work with so many things around me, but I need all this, especially the wall, it’s so inspiring, all of my room is, it looks just like me and evolves with me and that’s not everybody’s case, so may it be tidy or messy I’ll always like it, as much as I love every single thing I own.

PS: Check what I’ve done with the fabric bought yesterday at Souk El Ahad ! (It’s still not sewn though, I need feedback).

(I’m waiting your comments as usual, be true and just say what’s on your mind may it be bad or good, let’s free ourselves)

My first visit of Souk El Ahad

Hello peeps ! I’m really tired of these couture collections reviews, and really don’t feel like doing all of them, especially after having seen Chanel’s Fall 2011 collection that I just can’t comment… (it was horrible, terrific! What may I say… Totally disappointing! They’re ruining her reputation!)

I mean: Boots with supposed-to-be classy suits ! What the fuck ?! But anyway, there were some good stuff… And I might do a post about it soon.

Tonight I want to share with you this awesome day I’ve spent between Souk El Ahad and Bourj Hammoud.

(I’m sorry I don’t have a lot of pictures; the feeling of discovery and excitment was too strong. I promise to take more pictures next time…)

I embarked with a friend of mine on an exciting journey on which I discovered truly amazing places… And to start with: Souk El Ahad, a popular “souk” (as in market) that takes place every Saturday and Sunday in Sin-El-Fil.

I had never been there but people told me about it; good things, bad things… Anyway I had to go discover by myself.

At the entrance, loads of caged animals captured our attention as we were going to enter the “souk”, there were birds and hens, cats and dogs, and even monkeys ! Of course, I obviously don’t need to express myself on this subject, I guess we all share the same opinion, or at least should be…

Here’s a puppy in a cage:

And this pictures says it all:

And this is the pet shop owner’s dog:

Joyfull ! Isn’t it ? Anyway if you manage to cross this horrifying scene you’ll enter an amazing market full of wonders and hidden treasures.

To be sure of not crossing the caged animals simply look up; a strange and unusual scenery awaits you… The simple idea of it is disgusting but I found the view of it so captivating, beautiful, the kind of beauty that rises from ugly compositions… Here’s the picture:

It’s hard to see and imagine, but these are used tea bags that have been thrown and that sticked under the bridge… The simple idea of it might be repulsive, but to see all these strings move in different directions according to the wind was just mesmerizing my friends… I’ll have to film it for you…

Back to reality ! I’m so sorry I don’t have any pictures from inside the “souk” because I was too busy exploring, touching and admiring stuff… So I’m just going to show you what I bought between the food, rugs, clothes, materials, antiquities, toys, jewelry, watches, sunglasses, shoes, accessories, tools, TVs, radios, frames, candlesticks, juice, LPs, underwear, belts, pottery, furniture, etc. etc. (Yes ! Yes! There is almost everything there !).

First of all I bought two vintage pairs of sunglasses, one à la John Lennon, that I’ve been searching for a while! (The rounded ones). And one that I just bought because they were cool and because the vendor almost offered them to me…

 

I love them !

I also bought meters of this beautiful fabric (it’s lycra):

Now I just have to figure out what to do with it…

And finally I bought this useless piggy bank simply because it brought childhood memories to my mind… (Yes I’m a compulsive buyer):

(Check Duchess in the background sleeping on my drawings)

All of these for less than 20$ my friends ! And this is it… However my friend (Clara) bought interesting stuff too but I forgot to take pictures, I’ll ask her to send me some, so that the girls checking this can see what they can find there…

I’m sorry I didn’t take pictures of the place itself, I promise I’ll do next time, now that I discovered it ! And because I now know it, expect me to go there often and bring some of you too !

Afterwards we went to Bourj Hammoud (but didn’t buy anything), and even though it was not my first time there I couldn’t help but be amazed and enthusiastic about everything… The place is just wonderful, crumbling under tons of boutiques selling almost everything too; from materials for clothing design to finished products like shoes, bags and jewelry, (a lot of imitations though), where we found so many beautiful pieces like rings and wallets and earrings and buttons, but anyway to talk about it isn’t enough, I’ll bring you pictures next time, and maybe dedicate a whole series of posts to this great suburb… (I’m so stubborn I should have taken pictures).

If you want to go at either of these locations I’ll be glad to come with you ! I know this is not enough and you’re perhaps dying to know/see more and I promise I’ll do another post on each of these very soon. Until then… See ya ! (Probably with a post about couture collections).
