Launched my new collection of 6 Art Cards that feature the reproduction of my Malta-inspired series of ink drawings. On the back of the cards is an explanation on the subject depicted on the front, which gives more insight into the life and culture of Malta. The cards are individually wrapped in cellophane and printed on high quality paper. Each card measures 21cm height by 10cm base. Available through selected outlets and by contacting me directly.

After a short visit in Dubai, I spent 7 weeks working on the design concept, the layout and illustrations for the first ever book to be published on 'The Traditional Women's Dress of Oman', written by Julia M. Stehlin-AlZadjali. An intense and very interesting project which gave me even more insight about the tradtional dress of Omani women - a subject that has greatly inspired me and influenced my work! The book is at the moment at the printers....so looking forward to see the end product!

Been busy!!! I started working on a collection of ink drawings depicting themes with a Maltese theme. Launched Limited Edition Giclee Prints/150 of the piece 'Mgarr, Gozo', and started working on new pieces for a collective titled 'Tektika Tango' in May 2010, in which I will be participating! Am very looking forward to all the colours that 2010 will be offering!

AUGUST ~ OCTOBER 2009
..........................................................................................................................................................
During this time I worked on four new pieces with a Middle Eastern theme, two of which I specifically selected to feature on my new 2010 Calendar Cards concept. The cards, which either feature 'Al Majmar' (The Incense Burner) or 'The Bedouin and his Camel' on the front, have a calendar on the inside front, perforated on the side so that it can easily be torn off to be used and/or framed. No expense has been spared to ensure a high-quality product: the cards are printed on premium quality Italian recycled paper with matching envelopes and neatly wrapped with a paper band. The images are UV varnished. The calendar cards are sold through selected outlets and representatives in Oman, Dubai, Malta and Australia, or by contacting me directly. View

Worked on the redesign of my website. My site now has a totally different look from the one I designed and launched in 2004, and includes more work, new sections and the latest information. A big thank you to all who contributed with their input, support and advice! Special thank you to Gege Gatt for my profile photo and product photography.
