Aligraphy

August was a hectic month with work from SISTERS Magazine. I had to design almost half the magazine in like 2 or 3 weeks, and that isnt easy when you are new at it!! (which is why i havent been posting here much). It was a lot of hard work but also great experience, which will be very very useful to me in the very near future
Anyway check out the Autumn 08 issue of the mag, its awesome. i aint just saying it coz im part of the team, it really IS awesome!! and im a guy! We even have a free taster if you don’t believe me

Also finished an advert for a new nasheed artist, Abdullah Rolle, who will be launching his new album at the GPU. Catch the advert which is now airing on Islam Channel, or you can watch the Abdullah Rolle advert here (a better version is up on my facebook for those who know me).

And lastly, here is a free ramadhan wallpaper for you to download and pretty-up your machines. Courtesy of my good friends over at VD and IDH enjoy.

now that work has eased up a lil i can relax a bit and finally play on my new ps3 …untill next week when its back to busy with the Winter edition of SISTERS Mag!

So i finally watched Batman Begins last night. i know, im slow. Especially as im a BIG Batman buff. My excuses for not watching it sooner: it didnt look all that great, i clocked the game and i didnt think Bale suited the role (i wanted to play Batman ). But as The Dark Knight is coming out and this one looks good i thought i should stop sulking and just wacth it. it wernt as bad as i expected (or maybe my expectations were REALLY low). Next one will have the Joker though, which is destined to be good. and it seems as though they made him psychotic as he should be. we’ll see how it plays out.

Anyway as i was just randomly browsing the net, i come across a Muslim artist who makes comic strips! Being the nerd i am, i’m obviously gonna bookmark his page n check it on the regular lol. Check out Br Shaik’s work

Was crawling the web looking at art when i came across a site with some of the most magnificent calligraphy ever. the Ozcay brothers have some super talent. was in awe over their work. how i wish i had such skill…. but all i can do is try so iA will be going to a calligraphy workshop tomorrow by Samir Malik. learnt so much last time from him. hope this time is even better.

Salam Cafe is a hilarious comedy show from Australia. Defo worth watching

Islam Expo looks more and more attractive as it gets closer. Not only is Ruh gonna showcase new canvases, not only are Outlandish gonna be performing, but i hear AA may be doing some live painting! i cant wait!!

The new iGraphic site is done, again. This time we will keep it up longer than last time hopefully :p

Me n Mehedi have been working hard on the new site for the last few days. But there is no rest for the wickid, we got a ton of work in our hands and it looks like we cant take any more work on for the next month or so.  But thats kool coz we got some projects which i am really excited about, like the SISTERS magazine advert is gonna rock! and our first mini documentary!! might not be the most exciting topic, but its our first ever and we are hyped.

Anyway, away from work, i came across something interesting (to me at least) Midway games are set to release a game which will square off the Mortal Kombat characters vs the DC comics characters :s wired as it may be, i still wanna get it coz i wanna kick evry1s ass as Batman!

although it may not seem any different, but this site has just moved to a new server [thats why it was down yesterday]. its not really interesting news or anything (and i know sum1 is yawning right about now), but it was a pain working out how 2 move it and modifying the database MANUALLY as i’ve never done that before. now to move about 5 other sites from muslimways shared hosting to our new iGraphic server. trust me, thats as simple English as i could put it in!!

moving muslimways.com alone will probably take a week! good luck mendo :-p

Extract from BBC News:

Turkey is preparing to publish a document that represents a revolutionary reinterpretation of Islam - and a controversial and radical modernisation of the religion.

im sorry but WTF!? We all know how Turkey is BARELY a ‘Muslim country’ and now they are bold enough to take such a step as to say that they will take it upon themselves to reinterpret the Hadiths for modern day and age?
What next?A revised version of the Quran? Astagfirullah!

A thought just occured to me… am i really becoming a ‘geek’? i get my daily dose of news by reading it online… surely that is normal….right? …i hope so…

Not your typical Bollywood movie. This film actually is worth watching, touches on some important issues espcially regarding parenting skills. Bengali (and most asian) parents piss me off of the way they treat their kids. So unsupportive. Its all about getting excellent results and stuff. And if the kid gets in trouble or anytin den its coz he is bad.

For example, cops come round ur house and ask u questions, and they automatically assume dat u done sumtin wrong.
Or u get in a car accident, and insted of askin if ur alrite, they start swearin at u for driving rough (even if it wernt ur fault).

And dont even get me started on what they think about Art…

Anyway, its a nice story, Aamir Khan and da lil kid r wkd. That song in da film is really nice 2 (the one about mum), very emotional.

That kid had a hard time in the film, reminded me of madressah days teachers teaching with the stick. Yeh, like thats the best way 2 teach sumtin 2 a kid init. Dumbass. Lucky i was goot at school or i might have been a depressed lil kid 2! Think all parents and teachers should watch the film atlest once a week so they be nicer 2 kids.
