I was taking a walk today in a Beirut district when I noticed some Arabic graffiti on the wall. I don’t think I had ever seen Arabic graffiti prior to this… I am not talking about the random scribbles regularly seen in Kuwait. I think graffiti agrees with Arabic really well, its because how nearly all the letters in Arabic are connected to each other.
If you have anything you think would be interesting to share on this blog
[email me]
Stuff I think is worth sharing taken from the b-sides.
If you're looking for something to do.
Shift through my older posts by subject.
Mark and Nat, a married couple who are living in Kuwait. Mark is a creative director at an ad agency while Nat runs her own design studio called Push+Pull.
Here are some links related to this blog.
just out of interest; what does it say?
i love graffiti (the colourful ones, of course, not the geezy scribble). yeah, arabic graffiti looks good! yalla, they’re learning lol.
so mark would you recommend going to Lebanon this summer or it is still not safe ?
I like graffiti with the industrial look, I think when its well done it looks the part and I really like it!
I wish we had an industrial area which would have interesting graffiti on it! That would be cool!
Marzouq check this one out. Its my favorite graffiti work I have seen. I took this picture when I was in Montreal.
