Orange objects from our window
There is a tree in our neighbourhood that loves autumn more than other trees!
It gets orange much sooner than others and it looks gorgeous among all the green trees!
A few weeks ago moon was rising, I passed by the window and got stunned by its amazing orange color! I really don't know what makes the moon look this orange...how about you?

Things that make me happy!
A while ago I received an e-mail in Etsy from a Canadian photographer:
"Hi - came across your shop. LOVE your illustrations.
I especially love the mermaid mother and child
(it reminds me of myself and my daughter, Lilah)."
"Hi - came across your shop. LOVE your illustrations.

I looked at her photo and couldn't stop smiling! My God,
they both look like my illustration characters a LOT!
Don't you think so?

My love for Typography
school when I was a kid!
We used to practice Nastaligh (Persian style calligraphy)
and I have to say it was very difficult for me! But recently I was playing
with letters and illustrations and came up with this design.

Crabapple
Thanks a lot dear friends for your wonderful comments for the
previous post! I actually cut one of the fruits as you said and it looks
exactly like an apple! So I guess these trees are crabapple trees.

balcony.

I painted them with watercolors in my new tiny Moleskine
watercolor notebook.

very different! You can read more about them here in Wikipedia.
These are the photos that I took from them. They both have something
in their beaks and still were singing! :)) I guess their nest is very close
and they're taking food to their chicks.
If you're looking for a very good watercolor notebook you'll love this one.
I bought this one from Ebay but they sell them in most craft stores.
You can also find them in Moleskine website.

New banner
I made a new banner for JooJooLand shop.
I love its soft colors, although I miss the cute old banner.
.
I wanted to participate in this week's "Illustration Friday" but
I was very busy and couldn't finish the painting.
The topic is "Paisley" and since this shape has a Persian origin
I wanted to do something special for it. But they say
"Better late than never"...
