Happy Days

For many people it's the Holidays season this time of the year, whether if it's Christmas, Hanukkah, Hijra (Hijri year),  Rohatsu (Bodhi Day), Ashura, or whatever day you consider a day of peace and celebration among yourselves, your family and your friends or just a good book or a blank piece of paper that you try to make it mean something or just time that you consider precious and worth some extra joy , for this happy holidays whoever , wherever you are.
Now, funny thing I noticed.. 2010 is coming soon, isn't it special that 20 is the double of 10? last time tis happened was on 1806..then I started thinking ..hmmm..something is in common between 2010, 1809, 1608 , 1407, 1206, 2211 !!! and it's always 201 years in between!!(except the 2 digits years like years 21, 42, 63).. so what's my point?! I have no point.. I just wanted to say Happy New Year to everybody and add a little conspirecy to it for fun hehehe!.. but I'm not so serious about these "silly" observations... of course..
ok I'll go look up what happened in these years.

A couple of pages I did for Fusion multimedia based in Egypt, this is a part of a 12 pages book that teaches a letter from the Arabic alphabet, obviously it's a part of a series that covers all the letters of the alphabet, a book for each letter made by different authors and wonderful illustrators, I am so happy to be a part of such project and to get to work with some dear friends that I haven't seen in a while now.
