fast and furious
like in the good old days, after 12, no more electricity. not even the neighborhood generators. we have to be careful with the fuel. it is running out slowly but surely from the country, and running in quickly and surely on the lebanese and mediterranean coasts.
i have 0:31 on the battery level on my old laptop. no 0:30 in fact. just enough time to write this post, but no time to upload today's drawings (and some of yesterday's). neither my mom's drawing on her site (for three days! what kind of ungreatful bastard am i?)
it is quite funny to write on a laptop connected to the world with a candle next to the keyboard to see the letters.
0:24
what to say? i am somehow limiting myself more and more to only drawings. i am freaking out from emails to answer. and still those comments coming on the drawings. again and again. trying to tell me that the THIRTY SEVEN kids of qana were killed with their mothers by the hezbollah. again and again i have to point out that:
THIS IS BY NO MEAN A POLITICAL BLOG. can't you fucking see there is almost just fucking drawings on it?
would you think of going to picasso and saying that yeah, guernica was awful, but it was because of the republicans and not franco and the nazis air force?
fuck, it's 0:22. i lost 2minutes for this stupid sentence.
0:21
i loose too much time answering everything (for all the people who are sending emails these days, please do not get upset if i am not answering, it is going worst and worst with the days).
i still let myself go into interviews. sometimes they are tough and you have to argue for ten minutes on the phone with the guy to be able to convince him that everything you want to do for the moment is to eat the dish that is getting cold in front of you.
however i was heroic and refused an interview with the cnn.
and one with the iranian tv.
to equilibrate.
0:16 (there's a red light now)
is there enough time to say that i am happy to see we are becoming all of us the same nation? it is really cool. we have one president, the respected mr. george bush. and a governer in each country. it seems that tony blair, angela merkel, and all the other european presidents have the same post than arnold schwarzenegger these days.

Good night, Mazen.
Our thought is with you...
Good luck... and for the first time I really mean it.
hang in there, and keep on posting
your drawings are sad but beautiful
My thoughts are with you.
Thank you for the breathtaking drawings.
Stay safe! And fight till the last breath!
Mazen- I know exactly how you feel and as trivial as it sounds it is good to channel some of your anger frustration into some form of creativity. I will keep checking your blog. Stay safe, and even though sometimes it seems futile, I am hoping for peace.
my regards from athens, greece..keep it up
dude,
i linked to your blog tonight
like your stuff
i am trying to get this info (your site) out to friends who don't read or don't know or read/know, etc.
my blog is at perfectspy.blogspot.com
feel free to bother me
it's useless but WTF
Hello...
Love you drawings..
It touched me..
We are behind the Labanese people!!!!
You're perhaps not up for a discussion on the role of Art in society right now - (or maybe that would be some sort of return to normality) but your work is posted in the biggest gallery in the 'world' and, like it or not, it has touched a chord - and it is public and articulating something we all dread to feel.
Unfortunately the public seem to want more of the artist and do not understand the compulsive response that forces the pen, the brush, the clay or the lips that form the note. Should the artist be a political spokesman?
......I think I'm just trying to say do what you are doing so well - keep making the marks, the notes and the poems - and let the rest go hang.
