"One of the fundamental conditions of happiness is to know that everything that one does has a meaning in eternity" - Titus Burckhardt

I have a BA in graphic design and my body of work encompasses illustration, comics, tutorials, digital games and children's books, but above all I am now a calligraphy artist based in London. I learned the essence of the ancient Kufi script from master calligrapher Samir Sayegh, in Beirut, through years of close collaboration. With him I learned to breathe new life into a traditional art, not merely copying or reviving its old forms but finding a contemporary language for it. The resulting calligraphic mandalas evoke the magic that comes through when form and meaning are one.

London exhibit

Journal Entry: Tue Jun 11, 2013, 1:08 AM


I almost forgot to post this here! I'm part of the Art•Marylebone art fair this weekend, which may be of interest to those of you in London or nearby! It's a free entrance event and a chance to see my best work up close where it really shines. Below is the info and some sneak peeks.
What you'll also be able to see up-close are the Scribe sets. My first stock is sold out but I'm now taking pre-orders for a new stock that should arrive in July. Contact me if interested: There is free shipping on all pre-orders paid for by June 21 (yay Solstice!)

Hope to see some deviants there!

Hey, just came by your work by accident - I was looking at results for "Synchronicity" - and I must say, your work is amazing :D
Just out of curiosity, how do you manage to contrive the symbols/designs from the words alone? It's an awesome skill, I'll give you that x3

This is calligraphy, the designs are made up of the words, cunningly composed :)
