It took me a while to realize that art isn’t so serious—but as an artist, you have to treat it that way.

اخواتك اللي بيضربو بعض هم انعكاس لابوك و امك مش انعكاس لنفسهم.

Salute to all the chill outs, the not caring of the occurrences.

And respect to those who sit still un-bothered by the tempting of thier desires. Compassion to those who peek towards the vergence of the self.

الشائع عن الدين في موضوع الكلاب انها نجسة و دخولها البيت و الجامع حرام فا سهل اوي تلاقي منظر عيل صغير فى الشارع بيحدف كلب أو بيشوط قطة بس صعب تلاقي عيل صغير مسئول عن روح مش عشان هو مش اد المسئولية عشان ده مش موجود في منهجه اللي شافه من اللي حواليه و اللي اتقال قدامه.

فيه النموذج بتاع الرحمة بتاع رجل سقى كلب و امرأه حبست هِرة بس ده مش كافي و مش هيدخل دماغ عيل صغير مش مسئول و اتربى تربية وسخة و ناقصة عشان هو المفروض يشوف ده قدامه و يحس بيه مش يتحكيله قصة حصلت من كام ألف سنة. و تقوله دي دخلت النار و ده دخل الجنة.

الاسرائيليين زيهم زي باقي الناس اللي اتولدو و لقو اللي حوليهم بيعملو كده و كله ماشي كده، هيفهمو و هيندمو متأخر اوي.

مواضيع متفرقة بس أصلها واحد.

الناس في الجيش حسسوني ان أنا أتحب عادي و ده كان جديد شوية عليا عشان مبحسش كده مع أهلي و عارف الأسباب عشان أمراضهم النفسية و تراكمات السنين مغطية عليهم و عارف انه غصب عنهم بس ده مش ذنبي برضو ولا مشاكل اي حد النفسية ذنبي.

Art is how to act in general not inside the limits of the artwork.

So as long as you know how to act, you are still an artist, even if you stop producing art in the traditional way.

The Daily routine of writing in English • Day1:

As usual, I am distracted, but I always have hope, and one of the things that had the most positive impact on me recently was my meeting with Nelly, the creative director of Cairopolitan, because she treated me with respect, entitlement, and interest that I did not feel after leaving the army. She knew me before through the posters that I had participated with them in the Cairo Prints Exhibition 2022, and she told me at the end of the interview that she loved them personally, which made me very happy and made my day and the days following this day. Yesterday, I met two friends from Dar es Salaam here, which helped change my mood for the better I am working on the ink painting now (digital), but I am hesitant as usual. It was almost finished, but I will change the background.

Anxiety is wayward /harmful thinking.

All I am trying to say to myself through my illustrations during this period is that I am good at doing this and I am good at doing that in order to build a diverse portfolio, and I do not have an ego voice inside me while doing this, but rather a natural voice that creates a natural balance.

Resistance is the process of avoiding change and is a major obstacle to progress.
