This piece was inspired by the various autumn art I've been seeing around as well as the general atmosphere around me, I also had the thoughts of having second chances if one messes up so it just occurred to me to illustrate a tree that is changing it's leaves and eventually new fresh ones will grow for a new beginning, a second chance for it to shine once again.

This illustration is easily one of my favs of the year because I used a slightly different technique. the shading is based on various little shapes as well as my layers of vector brushing, and I'm really happy with the result. Hope you like it.

The new Celine Dion is pretty interesting and a little different than what we're used to hearing from her. If you're expecting major piano power ballads then you'll be disappointed because the album leans more towards the rock genre than any of her other releases except two or three up tempo songs. All in all it took a little while to grow on me but in the end it's another solid release that's worthy of entering her amazing musical catalog.

The album features production by Ex-Evanescence member Ben Moody, Kirstin Lundin (BsB, N sync, Britney) and Linda Perry (Pink, Christina Aguilera).

Here are some of my fav tracks off the album, If you like what you hear then support the artist by buying a copy of the album.

Seal is ready to release his new album 'System' on the 13th of November and this time around he goes back to his dance roots with the help of producer 'Stuart Price' who produced Madonna's LP 'Confessions on a dance floor'. He hasn't had much luck when it comes to chart success since his major hit 'Kiss from a rose' back in 1995 so hopefully this album does well for him because he's such an excellent and unique vocalist and this is a solid dance record with great lyrics and fantastic trancy and electronic beats.

Check out some of my favs from the links below, and if you like what you hear then grab yourself a copy. Support the artists you enjoy listening to.

It's been quite a while since my last update and I'm feeling a little guilty for neglecting my blog but I just can't seem to find much to talk about over here which isn't too personal to share. Since my last update I went back to Oman for holidays, went to Malaysia with my sister and now I'm back to Jordan for my final semester so things are pretty great.

so yeah, for now as an updated I'll show you some dark cartoony pieces I've illustrated during the past week which I'm really loving, a bit different from my usual digital paintings but still within my style. Enjoy. :)
