ZIAD RAHBANI LIVE AT CLUB SOCIAL
ziad is a semi-god

that take pictures of him

and they talk about him
- "it is the fifth time i see him live."

and they drink to him

and they take pictures with him

and they pay t see him

and when he plays, they don't listen.

KERBOOK

that's it.
the book is finished. it is not out yet, but it went to print two days ago and it should be officially released in february.
and what's in it?
all the drawings and written posts from the war. including three unpublished drawings (one that was consciously censored, and two that i forgot to scan back then!)
250 pages all in all. done in 33 days. i still don't know how i managed to do it.

anyway, i am still working on the layout of the english version to propose it to some american publishers in the beginning of the year. i should be done these two day.
why do i tell you all this?
because i still cannot find time to upload some new drawings.

keep posted.
