For the love of calligraphy ...


illustrations from a story I worked on recently..it’s about a boy whom his art teacher encourage him with calligraphy and drawing patterns..I like stories that have a sort of a personal passion to them and that can be a key to sanity through imagination :)

Tayoob & Tayooch

Intoducing: Tayoob & Tayooch...
these are 2 twins that are not alike in behaviour at all..as you can see one is on the wild side and the other is a little on the geeky side ..well let's say they both have there goods and bads...

These 2 characters -among others- are presented weekly in Majid Magazine..and obviously illustrated by me...

I'll post more of that later..but for now I will present this sequence showing a rare appearance of Tayooch wearing eye glasses...you can see his brother (and family) quite surprised!..and that's just to make it (of course) illegible to be a contribution to illustration Friday's "Eye glasses" topic of the week :)


well...here is some of Tayoob as well..he's always wearing these thin eye glasses anyway :)..so let's give him some love...
