This book shows the progression of Interior Design of the Arabian countries. In contrast to many countries modeled according to the Western traditions, the Arabian culture is closely tied to religious and social values. The current discussion regarding contemporary architecture broaches the subject of the importance of tradition and deals with the Arabian identity. The architects have various viewpoints on the subject: Besides those who represent an international and global architectural language, there are also numerous planners that incorporate historical elements such as arches, domes and columns into their designs and interpret them in a contemporary fashion. Arabian Design presents the projects of renowned offices and young architects and shows the exciting process, in which a new, modern presence is developing out of tradition and ideas for the future are resulting. all projects are listed in alphabetic order of the designers and architects. Plans of the projects are shown as far as available. An index of contact information of the designer and architects is enclosed.

Bjørn Wiinblad (Sept. 20, 1918 - 2006) was a famous Danish artist and designer. He loved working in ceramics, but also as a set designer for theater or within hotel and restaurant decor. His many, many everyday products are still found in millions of homes world wide, and he has works in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, as well as at MoMA in New York.
His style was very up-beat, almost anti-Scandinavian in its love of squiggles, happy faces and orientalist settings. Here is a design for a Scheherezade-themed quilt:
Femte tema: Forlæg til detalje i Scheherezade-billedtæppe, The Dallas Apparel Mart, 1971 - gouache on paper

This is probably my third time drawing Princess Peach as a genie but I wanted to draw her in time for her new game Princess Peach: Showtime!. In the game, she has various transformations to match the play stages she's on and a genie transformation would have been a fun one if there was an Aladdin-theme play in the game.
Princess Peach belongs to Nintendo.
As always, comments and critiques are welcome.

cat breeds round #2: Arabian Mau, Egyptian Mau, Burmilla, Havana Brown, Japanese Bobtail, Cymric
find round #1 here
One more post coming soon and that will be the final in this series.
I want to take this opportunity to talk about short tail mutations in cats, with the Japanese Bobtail and Cymric as examples. Btw Cymric is just a longhaired Manx, so we're talking about the Manx gene here. The Manx mutation for short tails is notorious for the associated health complications, even including death. You see, the mutation works by eliminating some vertebra and that makes the tail shorter. Sometimes it eliminates too many vertebra. In any case, you should never breed tailless x tailless Manx. In contrast, the mutation that gives the Japanese breed its short tail seems to be harmless and devoid of negative side effects. There are probably more than these two that can cause short tails in cats - some harmless, some very dangerous. Anyway. Think twice before buying a Manx or one of the breeds derived from it, and carrying a potentially very dangerous mutation.
