Bottle opener

This is a souvenir from my brother when he travelled Italy for his honeymoon. He said he bought this when transit at Helsinki, Finland. Yes, its handle is an antler of a young reindeer. Sketched this on the 4th of January, 2009.

Many tomatoes

Ripen tomatoes again. Interesting to depict every small differences among each tomato. I feel sorry that subtle differences of the tones in red colour became hard to recognize after taking the photograph of the original work. Sketched on the 15th of September, 2009.

A book about Arabic calligraphy

khat090820

This is a book about Arabic calligraphy titled "روح الخط العربي (the Spirit of Arabic Calligraphy)" written by a Lebanese calligrapher named Kamil Al-Baba (كامل البابا). The calligraphy work on the cover says "علم بالقلم (Learn with the pen)". So symbolic. I love Arabic calligraphy. Sketched this on the 20th of August, 2009.

Soap from Aleppo

This is a piece of soaps I bought in Aleppo. Aleppo Soap must have the longest history in the world's soap—the same recipe was found in clay tablets in Sumer period! Sketched it on the 17th of August, 2009.
