I was lucky enough to work with Maybelle Imasa-Stukuls on reshooting her portfolio. Styling was a collaborative effort, but all the beautiful calligraphy and illustration is Maybelle's. Visit her redesigned site.

There is something so beautiful about this Islamic calligraphy - it takes so many forms, but is an art form in itself. Do I find it so much more exquisite than our writings because I do not understand how to read it, or is it actually on a par with our ancient illuminated works produced by the monks, where the letters are understandable even if the words are not always. I have always been fascinated by the construction of words - the construction of language, the etymology, the way the letters and words have developed over the years, and the way that modern English, in particular, has changed even during the time I have been using it to communicate....
Sadly, I don't have an ear for either languages or music - I love to hear both, but my brain won't retain them...

'Bismillah' Calligraphy on the walls of Tokyo's Turkish Mosque in the Shibuya-ku district district.
The phrase 'Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim' translates to 'In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful'. It is a common phrase used by Muslims before they do anything e.g. before eating or before driving or before starting an exam :) etc
The wisdom of using this phrase is to remind people to be conscious of God, and in doing so, refrain from acting unjustly or being ungrateful to the blessings which God Almighty has bestowed upon us all.

I used to do this many years ago, but am very rusty. I still enjoy doing it though.
at sunrise on new year's morning lulu and i went to the beach near our home... we were the only ones there.. :)
am posting this image today because its my father's birthday ~ and it was he who first revealed to me the joys of knowing dogs by heart *
when i was 7, dad took us from our little town in oregon all the way to california to meet and bring home our first basset hound ...
we named him "barney" after our street, barneburg road ~ and he was a true prince.
back in the days when dogs and kids could just roam free in smalltown america, barney used to leave when the school bus picked us up...
and then meet us when it arrived at our elementary school, nearly 2 miles away.. (sometimes on the way in the bus we'd see barney trotting along, clearly delighted that he was beating us there.. :)
everyone in town knew barney .. and sometimes a friendly policeman would call and say.. "if you're looking for barney, he's downtown greeting people in front of newberry's dime store!"
since then, we've had 12 basset hounds amongst us..
when "bark park" opened here, mom, my brother and i got a drinking fountain for it ~ for both dogs and people :) to honor the memory of our dad/husband.. and in the cement, in a spiral all around it, i wrote the names of 12 precious dogs..
am ever thankful to my father for first bringing their funny, all-encompassing joy and lovelight into our lives!
i'm so sorry i am still not able to really visit your streams, due to things here ...
so this image is a little kiss from lulu and me to you

My friend Khaled tells me: This is a work of art in Arabic done about 300 years ago on the year 1139 Hijri calendar (We are now 1440).
The artist used The name of Allah (the Arabic word for God), The name Mohammad (the name of the Prophet of Islam), The four names of the first Islamic Caliphs (in order: Abu Bakr, Omar, Othman, Ali).
Thank you to those who have sympathised with the migraine issue - the pain is still with me, and I am still taking tablets, and being miserable, but it will go soon, and then life will return to normal.

Worn out nibs on a vintage inkwell. I love combining the old-world way of writing with modern calligraphy styles.

He had been in our school for over thirty years. How many students were taught by him... His influence to students are so deep widely. After his retirement, he began to make vegetable at countryside. It is the start of second life of him!
彼は30年以上の間、我々の学校で教鞭をとりました。何名の生徒が彼に教わったことか...。 生徒への彼の影響は広くとても深いのです。彼は定年以後、片田舎で野菜を作り始めました。それは、彼の第2の人生の始まりです！
