The concept of this project is mainly about life and death. I chose to present unique different fish by preserving them in jam jars. The way i chose to portray the fish jar series represent sorrow, destruction and nonexistence.

Each fish jar is labeled with differently depending on its color and shape. For example the jar with pink fish and baby pink liquid injection was named "milk shake" and so on.

I always tend to involve the concept of irony in my work which creates confusion and conflict to the artwork itself. You can always find a bright/delightful side and a dark/miserable side in what i do, it's what life is all about.

"ICE Cubed Trees" System

2009-06-29T10:57:00.001-07:00

Hiii all

I came up with this idea "Ice Cubed Trees System" that will please the farmers of The Fickilians.

First I will talk about the Ice cubes and from where they come from:

- these special ice cubes are taken from a far far away place where you find all kinds of rocks and mountains that are all made of ice.
- Every year The Fickilians must go to this place in order to gather as much ice as they could. (quantity that would be enough for them for a whole year).
- In order to go to this place The Fickilians form a specialized group in skiing and then send them there.
-The dangers of this place are:
*waking up the big boss of the big ice mountains.
*Maximum time spent there wont exceed 3 days or else..... { The Fickilians never knew what happened to the ones who never got back }

and now i will talk about the system and how it works:

- Once the Ice is available to the farmers, the farmers community get all together to choose "The Farmer of All Farmers". The chosen Fickilian will be the one in control of all the farmers who are going to work on the "ice cubed trees system". Farmers who wont agree to work with this system and prefer to stay working with the traditional way of watering trees will be sent to the Big Boss of Big Ice Mountains.
-After shaping all the available ice into ice cubes they then place them over all trees that need watering. The cubes start to melt once "The Farmer of All Famers" wish to push the "melting process button", He controls when the cubes melt and by this way he is controling the amount of water given to each tree everytime.

This is just a concept. a detailed version (an improved version) of this concept will drawn soon.

Seed sketch #2 & 3

2009-06-23T13:30:00.001-07:00

Hi there,

Here are another sketches for The Fickilish exotic Seeds. ( all seeds are inspired from trees, Strawberries and microscopic natural elements)

I will try to upload a new colored version of all the seeds.

seed sketch #1

2009-06-22T05:55:00.000-07:00

I have been sketching some seeds and natural elements recently for the Fickilians. Today's Seed is the fertility seed. Usually exotic seeds such as the fertility seed are gigantic in size and are one of a kind, they are even bigger than a standard sized Fickilian, and for that the Fickilians treat them as precious cherished gifts from their god. Some religious Fickilians visit the "seed temple" every now and then to feel blessed by the exotic seeds.

I will soon upload more of these seeds.

:D here's our first attempt to color a comic page. (scene taking place in the royal palace)" in this scene a new assigned chef prepares soup for his highness Fickilius, while the chef presents his dish Fickilius threatens him in a way that if the soup wasn't good enough he will be responsible for the coming consequences, and so did Fickilius tried the soup and he obviously didnt like it because it had onions and he is highly alergic to onions, the chef was then exicuted by his magesty's gaurds".

TYPOGRAPHY for fun

2009-01-19T12:32:00.000-08:00

here are a multiple images of some experimental typography i did just for fun and to try something else other than illustration for a change. I actually enjoyed blending text and decorative elements, I found it powerful.
The text is taken from Esthero's song "Everydays is a holiday with you".
I need your feedback.
Enjoy.

The Lucky Charm

The Evolving Id Project (phase 1)

2008-12-24T22:40:00.000-08:00

(Here Are some photographs of "The Evolving Id" Sept-Dec book version)

This book is a documentation of my current sculpture based project "The Evolving Id". It covers the process from 14th Sept till 16th Dec 2008, which includes imagery on morphing a toy horse into a hyena. As we know Hyena’s symbolize immortality, the reversal of normal activities, well known for their dirty habits and many other negative traits. In this project I am portraying this dirty animal in a different way by giving it a different nature, the hyena statue will then evolve into a well-respected, cherished figure. The Id is the part of us that is unconscious; following our Id may lead us to do terrible, unacceptable things. I relate the Id to animals because both of them are uncontrollable.

(Here are some other photos of the work produced for my academic assessment)

Lets Not forget The 40 seconds Video of a 4 months work.

The Process

This project required 4 months to reach this stage. It is important that I take my time producing my artwork as It helps me develop new ideas and find more opportunities to rethink and determine what my work is all about. It’s also the nature of the process that takes time to be done especially if it’s a new medium I have to work with. I did not work continuously on this specific project; I gave it as much time as it requires because I am trying to create a history to this artwork by developing its physical appearance as well as its mentality. It is very important, throughout this work, to give the wrong impression to the viewer, inducing him into thinking that this is a toy. In reality it’s not, the hyena will be portrayed as an important figure that looks like anything but a toy; there will be a butler standing behind the hyena waiting for his majesty to command. The only reason why the viewer will first think that the hyena is a toy is because of its cuteness and its neatness in production. It is most common in the art world that artworks must look messy or handmade to make it look cliché. For me it’s the opposite way, I find it challenging for me to produce an artwork that looks as neat as an industry product. It is very easy for me to work on the hyena in a very random uneven way in stitching, painting, and presenting but that will be very easy to do, and I will face no complications, and that’s not really what I am looking for. This activity made me believe that I may one day become a perfectionist. As I stated before this book only covers the first 4 months period of the process I went through. You’ll be expecting more books about this project because it may take a lot more time than I previously expected.

The Evolving Id

2008-12-17T12:19:00.000-08:00

hello everyone,

I'm working on a book that supports my senior project. The book will be a documentation of my current project that i am still working on. "The Evolving Id"; the reason why i chose this title for my book is because the project i am working on is about morphing a sculptured horse into a hyena. And since the "Id" is the part of us that is unconscious and sometimes leads us to do terrible things, in my opinion i relate Id to animals because animals are uncontrollable, and as we know Hyenas symbolize immortality, the reversal of normal activities, they are well known for their dirty habits and many other negative traits. And for that i am creating a new nature for this dirty animal by changing a little in his form and covering him with velvet and other floral textile, he will then evolve into a well respected, cherished figure.

p.s.I will post the whole book when it's done. More to come.

"the string republic" <3 SHOES

2008-11-28T02:02:00.001-08:00

"Stéphane Bucco, the graphic artist, internationally renowned as Sockho, has created STRING REPUBLIC in 2004 to illustrate what happens when graphic arts and daily life merge. After renowned exhibitions and collaborations, Stéphane wants to find new Material supports of creation. Like the designers of the 50’s, STRING REPUBLIC wants to enhance products and make them more beautiful. And Stéphane likes to quote Raymond Loewy who said that “ugly things sell badly”. Nowadays... useful things sell badly. The amazing revival of the flip flops and the clogs remind him of the espadrilles his grand-father used to offer him every summer when he was a kid. The concept is born; see an old product like the espadrille differently! The espadrille is given as an anachronistic material support to about thirty of the greatest international grafic artists, who evolve in very different aesthetic universes." http://www.thestringrepublic.com

Tip on coffee ice cube>>>>

The first sip is just right, but by the time you get to
the bottom of a long, cool glass of iced coffee, you're drinking
a watery shadow of your former beverage.
If the ice is made from coffee, it won't dilute your drink
as it melts. Freeze hot coffee (or tea, if you prefer) in an
ice-cube tray, then use the cubes to cool your brew.

More Eggnog?
Originally uploaded by TheGrossUncle

Santa, you can really be an overwhelming burden sometimes...I'm trying to move on here and get back to my life. I mean, it's MARCH and all...Do you really need to keep coming back to my house for more eggnog? I haven't been to work in weeks because of your unrelenting demand...I've long since stopped putting Schnapp's in the mix, so you can just quit it. Besides, I can't have you ruining Christmas's reputation all over the place after leaving my house. And another thing, Mr. Breckenbaum's bushes are about half dead now...you can use our restoom if you need to...please, i've been getting more than enough hate mail these days. Oh, and your wife called.

the Bamyeh canon is a strong weapon that can shoot Bamyeh bullets, I think that make sense, and its frequently used among the hunters in the Blue Forest.

Media: Photo-etching.

Artwork: My Yemen, time-based media

A Glimpse of my life is all you shall experience
My past, Present, and my prediction of my future
I journey seeking my own path in life

My work is an ongoing process of my self discovery and self- reflection
represented through video Art Installation. An artistic expression that tells the story of how I view my life. A creative and scholarly approach is how I would describe this piece My Yemen. I continue my Search for identity to know more about the world that I have come to live in.

p.s. i will make sure when the video is available online i will get a link to it.

As usual Ibrahem did a great job with all the projects he presented in his senior show. Everyone was fascinated by his work, they all were interested in buying his artwork.
Anyways i want to congratulate him and finally all the hard work came into something good and was appreciated by everyone at the show.

This Project has been developed since last semester, i quite like its graffiti style, would really look amazing on street walls or inside galleries and shops :D
