Motherhood illustrations

Since motherhood has taken over my life, i can't help making an illustrated version of my my daily adventures. I haven't done a lot, i wish i could put all my experiences and misadventures into a comic strip but then again i wish i could do many things since my hands are always tied and my time is not mine anymore.

LET ME DO MY BROW, SON! | 2015

As much as i prioritize my child, i can't let my brow game get the back seat. It's the most that i could do for myself including taking a quick shower and keeping myself sane. Never mind all the mess around the house, dirty diapers lying around, dirty clothes piling up and of course, running late for work-- kilay is still life! :D

CAN MAMA CONTOUR HER FACE FIRST? | 2016

Shortly after my first child, the second baby came along and my makeup game has also upped its ante-- this time i was into contouring! Hah! With two babies, i really tried to squeeze in this part of my routine which was a bit hard. Although this time we already have a nanny but having two babies and at the time I was working, it was still a mess. But i do my best to get that 'time for myself'--and contouring was lifer!

ME AND THE BOYS WHEN GOING OUT | 2017

It's 2017 when we moved to Bahrain and we we're nannyless- life started to become a bit more challenging than usual. My boys were becoming toddlers and hyperactive. I could not have imagined myself being where I am now, but hey that's life! One of the things that i am proud of myself is going out alone with the kids, they can be a handful and i am able to keep myself sane and calm but i'm actually dying inside! But once i am able to strap them in the car going home and everyone is in one piece then my day is done.

Motherhood will always bring me ups and downs, more subject to draw and more reason to do what i do. It's fun, it's exhilarating and most times exhausting that's why i need more coffee!

THANKS!

Bondage

This was supposed to be a series of (at least) three women comic characters for my Bondage series but i managed to finish only two. I made a third one but its a group bondage. 

Anyway, these illustrations will be printed and sold for the coming Film and Comic Con event in Dubai on April 5-6, 2013. 

Doureena

Here is a comics i illustrated that just recently cane out to print. It's a magazine in Arabic called Doureena, in English it means 'our champion' , and of course it's all about football.

This section of the magazine are actual complaints or situation related to Oman football.

Above is the final print which is a bit paler and spacious to the previous version of this (see below).  The sports editor wanted me to tone down the colors coz he thought it was 'too sunny'! hahaha! and he didn't like the idea that each scene was too close to each other. He wanted me to put borders or frames for each, just like an actual comics. We argued for a lil while but in the end, it's not really my final say. The version above is not that bad after all. :)

Above: complaining that the football field is bad, giving the players injury. This is in some area outside Muscat (i cannot remember the name of the stadium).

Above: Fans and players are complaining that the first aid team are very slow.

 On this one, a certain manager of a football team is being ejected by the fans and some players. Hehehe
