After putting this up on facebook, Ruh bhai showed me his version of the word Qalam which he done a few years back, and it looked shockingly similar! Its kinda funny coz i aspire to be as good as him some day (inshaAllah), so its like taking the whole ‘following in his footsteps’ and ‘ great minds think alike’ to a whole new level. the night before i also saw a piece by Samir Malik which looked kinda similar to the 1st hub piece that i did. it makes you wonder if whether you can be ‘unique’ anymore. it seems as though most variations have been covered, so even if you think you created something original, somewhere out there somebody else may have already done something similar. Guess we will have to keep innovating with new mediums to keep the sense of originality alive.
p.s Islam Expo was wickid!!
