as many of you already know, i have the wonderful privilege of having a full time job in dubai's artist studio-space/gallery tashkeel. & with working in such a creative space, comes the opportunity of working on some amazing creative projects.
one of these projects was definitely the 'never forget' activity book i conceived as an original tashkeel product to be sold at this year's dxb store at art dubai.
never forget: an illustrated guide to dubai's best kept secrets, is an activity book for the young & young at heart, featuring the under appreciated areas of the city. the book features 4 main areas, including satwa, karama, bur dubai & deira. it pays homage to some of the city's best kept secrets, which are slowly forgotten for dubai's more new, modern areas.
the book is filled with simple line drawings of iconic architecture that make up the featured areas, & is also filled with games for individuals to play & fill in their own copies, making it more personalized.
i think this is probably one of the projects i am very proud to have worked on. i hope whoever's purchased their very own copy of never forget enjoys it just as much as i did making it.
this book is dedicated to my home city dubai; may you continue to grow, & never forget...

if you want to purchase a copy of never forget, make sure to pop by tashkeel where it is currently being sold at an amazing price of aed 30. also, feel free to contact me & let me know if you want a copy & all will be arranged.
