ART DISCLAIMER:
My art posts will be from ALL genres. Maybe religious and historic, maybe painful and thought provoking, maybe abstract and even maybe offensive, BUT, art is art and if LOVE AND HATE it, I’m posting it. If YOU get offended over my art posts, I don’t care. Yes, I really don’t, …. but I still would like to hear your thoughts! :-)! Or, you can always just find something else on my site that you enjoy!

***UPDATE***
JOSH BERER, one of the Arabic calligraphist I have highlighted here has left me a wonderful note about one of his upcoming projects! I encourage all of you to check out his link and see how beautiful and inspiring Arabic calligraphy is!

I’m not Muslim, but that does not mean that I cannot appreciate Islamic art and calligraphy.
I do not understand what is written here, but it is still beautiful, AND if it is beautiful, then I’m going to share it with you!

Wow, this is great PR!
Just wanted to give you some translations to the above!
Painting 1: “Paradies lies at the feet of mothers.” A saying from the Prophet Muhammad
Painting 2: “Verily with hardship comes ease.” A verse of the Koran
Painting 3: “In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful”
Thank you, thank you, thank you again and thanks for starting this awesome blog!

I’m not exactly sure why you are thanking me when it is YOUR gift that you are sharing with all of us!
I want you to know that I found some of your pieces online previously, but had no real platform to say “HEY, CHECK THIS OUT!” Now that I have been given this oppurtunity to share my thoughts with the world, I had to share your gift with the world!
Please keep up the GREAT work, and THANK YOU for the translations!
love.
