يمكنك ان تدهس الورود..لكن لا يمكنك ان تؤخر الربيع
شباب يداعبون الموت رغبة فى الحياة … الحياة فى التحرير
Those who lost eyes during protests in Egypt can see better than many so-called Egyptians who blindly support SCAF (the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces).

Obsession Sessions with Joel Lazano - by Ibraheem Youssef
Welcome to another round of obsession sessions. The inspiring person I decided to introduce everyone to today is Spanish talented soul Joel Lazano. I discovered Joel’s work about a year and half ago when browsing through a myriad of design blogs. It was bookmarked at first sight. I was fortunate enough to secure some of his time for a brief Q&A.
I: What’s the earliest memory of a creative activity you did?
J: In primary school I used to make posters for the classroom and at 12, I started in graffiti’s world, due to my interest in illustration, typography and calligraphy.
I: If you weren’t doing what you do right now, what would you be doing?
J: I would probably go to Japan to be a sushiman, or be a cook; it is as close to graphic design that exist.
I: Inspiration, who? what? where?
J: To inspirate and have a clean brain, traveling around works to me. this charge my batteries! but the truly inspiration comes when I am sleeping: when I get to bed, before falling asleep, i think in the current project and when I wake up, I found the way.
I: Share any piece of your work, recent or old and talk about it.
J: Self-portrait for “Other mirrors”, an exhibition of Sonar and OFFF.
It is a representation of my world and how i am absorbing what is around me. This piece was created with an Illustrator plugin designed specifically for the occasion by my collegue Flan (in the project Overtype studio vol.1)
