zine
Some of Keely's zines. Her drawings are beautiful and her collaging is brilliant. Definitely happy about this purchase.

Azim is one of my favorite artists in the UAE. His work is work is easily described as magical and sometimes leaning towards whimsical.
What I adore the most is his storytelling, which most arabs can relate to some way or the other. Bonus, his lil zines are incredibly neat with such nice paper.
This glorious zine contains brilliant artists, compiled very neatly into a bundle of whoa. It’s very safe to assume that I can’t wait for the second issue and how artists are going to interpret the next theme.
Experiencing Nasir’s work a couple of years ago, for the first time was a real treat. Feelings ranged from whoa surrealism whoa to this feels pleasantly light, I need more. I think to some extent, most of my work is heavily inspired by him. He’s a beautiful human & we need more beautiful humans who share their pieces/parts of them in this planet.
Abjad Hawaz Fanan is a gorgeous zine, made out of recycled/craft paper. I recommend this to anyone trying to create more often but feels stuck or unmotivated. Even though this zine targets a very young age group, I think it would make the perfect gift to anyone who wants to explore their creative side. Definitely treat yo self & someone else to this recycled bundle of joy.

I’ve recently recieved a package from the lovely Basma and it had all sorts of beautiful cozy things. Noura gave me her extra copy of her collaboration with Basma for jaffat el aqlam’s plants issue. You can read the entire zine via Basma’s website.
Everything is so neat, the colors are uplifting and it’s really difficult not to smile while going through the pages of her zines/comics.
