El-Seed: One of my favourite Artist who inspires me. His art is a mixture of street art and Arabic Calligraphy. His work is truly beautiful and they always have a great message behind them.
wow, stunning pieces…. Calligraffiti is so beautiful. Add this to the list of things I would love to photograph (and also get more proficient at).
Patrick Martinez’ pieces are at the Chinese American Museum as part of their “Dreams Deferred” exhibit. It is a great exhibit where LA street artists respond to immigration reform. What’s truly amazing about it, to me, is how, in the conjunction with the Museum’s exhibit on Angel Island, the art exhibit links Chinese exclusion and current day immigration/border restriction debates. Amazing. Go see it before it leaves in December!

Interesting how different labels applied to the same foods can affect our perception of the people eating. I had refrained from food posts during the month of Ramadan, lest some tumblr visitors are observing the fast. Yet when I came across this illustration, I couldn’t help but imagine how our reactions to the picture or grazer could be influenced dramatically, simply by playing with different captions. No matter who or where you are or what meal you are sharing, enjoy your food, glorious food.
“The library is not just an information center. It’s always been a refuge for anyone to come to, whatever status in society. For people, intellectuals, pseudo-intellectuals, for lonely people. For every walk of life.”
