This is one of the panels I've been working on with the calligrapher. I couldn't get a better picture, I shot this with my phone before it was taken away. But you get the idea.
All the smaller squares were painted by me over 3 days. Considering there were 32 of them, each with the word "baraka" (blessings) twice, requiring 2 coats of paint, that means I've painted that word 128 times. You think I have enough baraka to last me the year??
The other two panels are based on the word "salam" (peace)... 2 or 3 more days of work and we'll be done with them.
And now for some good news about tutorial books. Emotions and Facial Expressions has been added to the book Drawing People, completing this volume as I don't think I have anything more to add about the human subject. It is now 63 pages, but the good news is you can now purchase it directly from Lulu.com – for less than it cost when it was only 50 pages. Drop by Tutorial books information for pricing and contents detail, but basically these two:

are now available via Lulu.com (respectively at www.lulu.com/content/522104 and www.lulu.com/content/653264 ). You can still order them from me at the original prices, but something tells me that's not going to get many votes
The other books though, in particular the complete collection, are only available from me at this time.
