Pov: you want to draw abdelmuttalib (the prophet pbuh's grandad) but it's preferable not to islamically. Now he's just a random handsome guy🥀not the same

Just a timeline reminder to look after yourselves and each other. The first step to calming dysregulation is self-awareness. I find chamomile is even more calming with mint.🌿🌼🫖I don't want to turn around when I hear these things especially when the media is not making enough noise and acting normal.

Nothing like Lebanon but as someone based in Doha I sometimes get scared and list the 99 names that I can remember to remind myself who I am returning to if anything happens.😭Ghafoor and Raheem. Say this duaa regularly- the Prophet pbuh did too

🎨Zine update!📔

Butch Ware for Governor Volume One is a fundraising zine- this volume is about the impact of the United States' foreign policies on fellow humans (which feeds back to Americans), and the candidate Butch Ware's stances in this regard.

my anxiety when that routine is even slightly obstructed, my having to make a conscious effort to read nonverbal language, my avoiding eye contact in difficult situations, my easily being overwhelmed by loud noises, my never ending anxiety, etc.

A cathartic zine as inspired by Wallis Eates' work and workshops on healing through comics.
Qatar has been treating me well. With this new chapter, I've had the space away from the pressure to see my routine, my sticking to things I like rather than adventuring with a different boba tea flavour,

When I made my first comic as an adult three odd years ago (i.e. excluding my teen comics), it was about my story of making sense of my hardships. And, indeed, everyone's story deserves to be told.

Drawing in the library with colour pencil boosts productivity by x1000 compared to pencils at home. It's scientifically proven ☝️

Can't believe it took me 28 years to try oil paints! Such a gorgeous medium (this is my first oil painting ever apart from an unfinished 15 minute experiment). 😍

... not looking forward to cleaning up 😭☯️
