Significantly later-gram here. This is a postcard I made for a friend who was stuck out in the Pacific back in spring. It’s an old Persian poem, and it reads: Derakhti sabz boodam konj-e bisheh/Tarāshidan marā bā zarb-e tisheh/Tarāshidan marā qalyoon besāzan/Ke ātash bar saram bāshad hamisheh. “I was a green tree in the corner of the forest/they cut me with blows from an axe/they cut me to make a hookah/now my head is always on fire.” I painted this thing over several weeks and it took over a month to make it to my friend, then I never posted it. But, as it’s one of the pieces that took me the longest, I figured I ought to share. That, and the poem—written almost a thousand years ago—feels more relevant every day. #watercolor #illuminatedtext #babataher #persian #poetry #persianpoetry #postcards https://www.instagram.com/p/CFkN0iUs6yw/?igshid=1uuo1anly6ss9

Today we hung up the Christmas “Scroll”. 17 years ago, Yuko Nii of the WAH Center asked us to enter a piece into a holiday themed exhibit at the Brooklyn Burrough Hall. Artist’s Linda Chido, Martin Somers, and myself united our talents to create this Holiday masterpiece. It has been our tradition ever since to hang it up for the holidays. It brings me great joy to do so and share it with you now. Happy Holidays everyone! @missussomers @wahcenter @lindachido #yukonii #wahcenter #holidayart #im12squared #illuminatedtext #martinsomers https://www.instagram.com/p/B6dzdtWlfFO/?igshid=1twdaw8hlh9cq

After the bird park, I walked down to the Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia. It features a phenomenal collection of beautiful manuscripts, ceramics, metalwork, jewelry, textiles, architectural models, and other art from Islamic culture around the world. #IslamicArtsMuseumMalaysia #KualaLumpur #Malaysia #islamicart #illuminatedtext #art #bookart #calligraphy #tomes #illustration #travel #travelstoke (at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia)
