“The love of my life was of the people I was taught to hate.”
I’ve been experimenting with hatching techniques and decided to do a redraw of the first Yusuf Al-Kaysani art I ever posted on here three years ago.
Also on Redbubble.

sometimes i think of yusuf, at the beginning. poet son of a merchant boy in borrowed armour, skull cracked open on a rock. how long until he returns home again? How does he return, estranged, to those Ithica-like Tunisian shores? Can his father still recognize his covered face?
yusuf al-kaysani, the son, the poet, the not-soldier, made and unmade each night in the looms of his mother's memory, mindbody woven and unwoven by something infinite and nameless.
sometimes i think about "di genova" vs. "al-kaysani". a land versus a bloodline. How they lose both, and then the names, too. immortal odysseus, ogygia-bound, longing to see the smoke that rises from his homeland, longing for death, kept in the soft-tender company of his murderer.
(really, you were founded on the bloody rock of holy ground. really, sometimes there is no return from war. at least not from this. not from the way he touches you.)

I cannot believe how lucky I am to get this wonderful JoeNicky commission from the lovely @chimchiri! Seriously go commission them, they're one of the best people I've ever worked with and I feel so privileged to be able to have art from them! I'm in transports of delight! 😭💖💖💖

Booping you all like Joe does Nicky! 😄
Because it’s a rainy April 1st, and we’re being silly, so what better than to make some silly Joe & Nicky art. ❤️
(Obviously inspired by the epic hair & make up test)
