Fitr Eid 2012

It was officially my first Ramadan away from my family and away from my country. I found it difficult practicing Ramadan in a non-Muslim society and no Muslims to eat with on Iftar time as I'd do in my village with my Muslim friends, family, and relatives. So here I was by myself celebrating Fitr Eid by myself, so I said to myself let me do a virtual card to celebrate it with all who are abroad.

Now I played on the term of Fitr (فطر), for Fitr means to eat and also it means mushroom.
Sa'eed (سعيد) means happy

You do the math!

Merry Christmas Croc

It's the day before christmas. I designed a card that tackles the price rise of fuel and some randomness. There is one of my classic characters which is a crocodile in a tub. The card is suposed to take place of the piece of coal of naughty people but many didn't understand it unless with explanation, which is both good and bad. It is bad because they kinda destroyed the purpose of the card but it is good because that the santa claus myth isn't growing too much in the region.

Adha Eid

It maybe late, but this is a postcard I did for Adha Eid. For those who don't know Adha Eid, it is an islamic holiday where muslims worldwide celebrate Abraham's obedience to God to slaughter his son Ashmael, but Ashmael was replaced with a sheep. So on Adha day sheep are slaughtered.

So here is the postcard with two sheep drinking tea.

The translation of the dialogue:

Sheep 1: Oh God why me? I lost my job, my girlfriend left me, and they kicked me out of the house. I should die.
Sheep 2: It's ok my friend. Eid is coming soon, there you will find "help"
