anti everything
as much as I was focusing on my Art being represented in an Arabic form, I really wanted to work on something that could possibly communicate better to non-Arabs. The matter is, I didn't find any appropriate space to work in, though I have worked on a couple lately. This was until I found a very interesting idea, proposed by my Flickr friend, Graphic Designer Thom Bird.
Anti Everything is an independent zine that will feature art articles yet mostly artworks. This involves typography experiments, illustrations, collage...etc. The zine will be fully in Black & White - which makes it easier to reproduce without losing the fun (that sentence sounded quite bad, haha).
The main concept from the name is that every issue we choose a keyword, and the theme of the issue would be against it. For example, "War" the issue would be "Anti War". The first issue will be finished by the time of Valentines and the keyword chosen is "Love". So the issue will be Anti Love.
The founder is Thom Bird and the contributors are Sarah France, Sam Dunn and myself. Really excited for what's coming up - and here are just a couple of doodling I did that might or might not end up in the actual issue:

welcome to my blog Abeer, I really love your work and think it's absolutely brilliant! Do you have an online portfolio or just the ones on Khatt?
I shall keep you posted, just keep visiting ;D Wow! thanks a lot, mutual feeling walla! I love love love your work!
Omar, this is an absolutely wonderful idea.
And you as an artist, well, I really am fond of your art style. It is great, unique, funny and powerful in its simplicity!
hey man, i dig your art but just wanted to give you a headsup that "antieverything" is very much taken as a publication name. by me. for over a year now... i'd be interested in working with you and stuff, but - please - cease and desist with the idea of using AntiEverything as a name for a zine. it would only end up causing confusion down the road.
