I love the used stamps. I use them all the time. Great minds think alike, I suppose!

I got a package from Hong Kong and the sender used all stamps. It's this amazingly beautiful chunk of postage. Will let you know when it finally ends up in a painting.

Oh my. So cryptically witty! What size is the original? (Artist Trading Card size?? hint hint) Wanna trade sometime?

Oh, for me it's huge! 6 x 9 inches. But I will do an ATC with you when I have a nice piece the right size.

Size counts, after all?

It must be measured! Counting is optional.

You have 13 items, mister (yes, I counted). The evil queen stamp completes the story entirely. It's amazing how heavy space becomes when you balance it with form. Well done.

Aren't there only 12?

another interesting composition, have you considered doing a larger scale version?

thanks. it's all paper scrap and gluestick, so the size is fixed, though one could do a high resolution scan and blow up the jpg.

i used to love to read old comics between the age of 5 and 25 , after i stopped , don't know why , probably got to busy and became a boring adult 
but lately (the last 5 years ) i've been experiencing an inverting of the aging process 
it reminds me so of those early years

i am so pleased by everything you said, hanan, you see what i am doing in these pieces! the inversion of the aging process is a wonderful thing. i read comics until i was a young adult, then stopped for many years, and just lately have been reading some "graphic novels" as they are called. using some old comics i found stored in my basement for collage is a pleasure in many ways.

i was desperate to find out last year that my mother have thrown (not given ) my whole collection without even ask me and this after 16 years of my marriage and leaving the house .
after waiting all these years she did not even think of asking me before she did so ! 
you know Richard reading is a very important part of my life . i read comics now but they are so different , i read them in french ( bande dessinΓ©e ) and french novels too ... in english i read poetry and some specialized books (medical or art or photography ) i very rarely read in arabic , and almost only poetry .

oh no, no, no! in a city where i used to live there was a comic book store called "My Mother Threw Mine Away". That is no joke, that is what it was called.
you read quite widely compared to me as i only read english! lots of poetry, some novels--i have a funny relationship to novels, i love them but i get almost too involved in them sometimes. and various other things.
you do well to have time to read, with children, a profession, and many pictures to take!

yes , well since i started photography , last july (not to mention DA since february ) it reduced considerably my reading time , and i do regret that .
my children are a little older now and i work half time by choice , my job being one of the most stressful because i work exclusively with children . seeing 15 crying and misbehaving kid in one day is the maximum i can take . so i work 5 days a week , 5 hours a day , sometimes less . my own choice and i am happier since i took it !
i get too involved in novels too , i cry and laugh and do weird things while i'm reading , i've been told

you only started photography last july! you had told me it was not long, but that is amazing
half time work is good. you are in such a needed profession, but the stress is high.
we are not very different with regard to novels!

but i loved art in general since i was 6 years old and i started drawing portraits and reading about art .
i just had a bad luck , growing up in a country in war . i lived in fear and unsecurity until the age of 22 when the civil war finished , and that did not help me in developping my talent for all we could think of was material things and how to survive ..
it is only 3 or 4 years ago that i decided to re-live my old dreams and try to be myself . i am grateful i did , because it brings me so much peace and exaltation in the same time .

i read a story about the efforts you and your people had to make to keep life going on during the war, it made a big impression on me, for i remember it to this day. i am so glad you are doing this now, being yourself, expressing yourself. it is good for you and good for many others as well, who see your work and have your friendship.
