Br. Abdullah, in what sizes are your paintings? I'm suprised that people are so interested in this style (nothing against your skills, you're great at it), maybe I'm simply too young and accustomed to art usually done on Photoshop etc...

Anywhere from 15"x 8" to 54" x 36" - Photoshop??? what?? thats not art - thats computer skills - can you smell the paint and canvas of a photshop pic? can you see the brush stokes on a photoshop pic? can you feel the texture of the brush strokes as they morph into the beutiful Ismullah? can photoshop morph waht seems to be a linear sentence in arabic to form an image or design?

Raw paint on canvas is much better than photoshop

Brother Mujahid was you on a site called Muxlim bt any chance? There was a brother there who did beautiful art work and showed it on there. Never stole any mind you, even though I was tempted

I dont think so - but I might have been - A few years ago I had my paintings on all sorts of different web sites trying to get them out there - I cant even remeber any of them now though.

I havent seen caligraphy done in the way I paint it (with the backgrounds and the contemporary look) - The caligraphy I most often see is classical Islamic art - Except the artist who does the covers for Al Baz publishing - she adds a creative contemporary flare to caligraphy.
