Caffe Complicated

2008-05-15T19:11:32-07:00

Four days in Lahore and I want to run away to a magical place where caffe will not complicate my life. It's FOURTY and over degrees here! Not a very friendly temperature for the creative. So I turned to imaginary coffee today... while in the back of my head I am planning a trip to the Himalayas.. haha. No not really that far.. but somewhere up-north I will go perhaps next weekend with my coffee loving friends. Perhaps I can find some interesting art culture there to cool off this summer.

Camellia Sinensitive

Sensuous history professor Tia and her smart student Benazir, Tia's gorgeous friend and hotelier Darker and her romantic lover Boya the stand-up comedian, beautiful Coco the Quran lover... are just a few to name among the lovely foreigners fighting for employment, citizenship and happiness in Sfera. Camellia Sinensitive is the story of the journey of learning the art of history through creative historiography, miniature art, the Islamic ideal in contemporary earth, writing, loving, living, breaking, making, stealing, forgiving, killing or healing... exploring the politics of possibility and impossibility of the sacredity of the human soul.

Orange Farm

2008-05-03T03:57:47-07:00

This tiny graphic artpiece is called "Rather Tragic" because it is a lonely scene from the story Orange Farm, which I am currently developing. In this scene, there is the mystical orange tree, under which Miem sits every day to paint. Amsu is standing near the insignificant mushroom. He always comes around the orange tree to watch Miem painting before he continues to go for his daily fishing.

Oh and Amsu has never fished for fish. Why he still goes fishing may be a paradox, while it even may be the cause of some unknown reason, or perhaps the reason for a cause that is the reason of another reason. Should you want a direct answer to the question of Amsu's being the fisherman who never fishes for fish, you must stand under the sun for three hours while writing the letter M in as many different shapes as you can. One of those shapes will be the answer to this question.
