Digital scan of an original sketchbook sketch by me in Lebanon in 2014 using a Moleskine book and Platinum Carbon Fountain pen with permanent ink.
Description: Al Rawda cafe is particularly memorable for its sea-front location, it has been a classic retro haunt since it was built in 1930. Rawda overlooks the Raoucheh rock from the northern point. A lush year round garden is kept up in the cafe’s expansive, retro grounds. Lounging with a book (or drawing!) at Rawda, one has the sense to have been transported back to a calmer, more simple time in Beirut’s history.
HELP ME HELP LEBANON!!!
This is a country close to my heart, and I want to do all I can to help raise money for people affected by the blast in Beirut which happened on 4th August 2020.
Towards the end of our Shifting Sands adventure in 2014 we spent two weeks in Lebanon where I completed 14 Drawings.
Each one has been scanned and is being printed as an A4 giclée art quality print with 60% of each sale going direct to @adbaadmena to help fund their vital work in the aftermath of the disaster. They will be a signed open edition to allow as many sales as possible. Follow link in bio to go to my onlineshop
We will also be giving all profits from sales over the next month of our Shifting Sands book for the next month to the same cause. The book is £12 and can be bought on our www.shifting-sands.com website
Having asked friends and family in Lebanon, I have decided to donate all proceeds raised to the following organisation:
ABAAD– Resource Center for Gender Equality is a UN ECOSOC accredited organization that aims to achieve gender equality as an essential condition to sustainable social and economic development in the MENA region.
