i sold some "toksic" items!! :)

it's been a while since i've actually given any of u an update on my fashion brand. well mashallah, TOKSIC has been doin pretty good.. :) i've sold quite a number of items and i just cant wait till i see someone wearin one of my items one day cos i'll probably run up to her screamin "THATS MY DESIGN! THATS MY DESIGN!" while jumpin excitedly(or skippin.. hoppin.. etc) loool! hahaha :) hopefully she wouldnt freak out ;) lol.

here are some of the sketches that i've done (on illustrator) and some of the items that have been sold (both, at amzaan boutique (in wafi city) and kube design (in burdubai).

i was on TV!! :)

well as u can tell from the heading, i was on TV!!! yaaaay!! :) i was on this show called NETCOM (jehad's show) on sama dubai which is basically about IT and technology and stuff.. i was there to talk about how, as a designer and a mixed media artist, i've learnt how to create art digitally and how i've benefited from technology in general by using photoshop, illustrator, etc.. i also demonstrated how i've created the homepage for my website using both, photoshop and photography (photos of ethnic prints from my collection).

i then sent an email to about 20 friends or so telling them about the show but the funny thing is the emails just magically turned into a forum!! lol! it was actually quite hilarious watching the emails go back and forth (but of course apologies to all those of u who didnt wish to be part of it all)..

anyway, if anyone's interested in reading what my crazy friends were on about, be my guest :)
