After three delightful weeks, Dpict was done and over with – and it wouldn’t matter, except for the fact that I had the honour of selecting four artworks to go on that wall along with a few other illustrators of UAE!

It’s been two lessons since I’ve signed up for German tuition at the local Göethe Institute and I feel that it started paying off almost immediately!
