Persian Cat in The ARK Project

Just like Noah saved the animal species in his ark, this project will try to rescue the ones surrounding us today inside this book, thanks to the work of some of the most important and talented visual artists, illustrators and contemporary designers.
The idea was to create an animal bible showing the different species around the globe through the eyes of artists from each corner of the planet. Each of them selected a creature -an animal or species- to represent their birth place, which will be added to the Ark.


We made a thorough research in order to find and see the works by as many artists as we could from each continent, looking on websites, blogs, magazines, books and art galleries. The over 200 participating artists, were selected because of their unique skills and vision of the world. The result is an amazing illustration bible that mixes styles and techniques, showing how amazing nature is and why we should take care of the environment and all the species living on the world.

Urban IRAN / BOOK

if You like to know more about Contemporary Urban IRAN with a more realistic View ...without talking about politics and economics -The book "Urban IRAN" is Out now to show its readers a new,real view point about what is happening inside IRAnian youth and Art Scene the paragraph below is a shortcut to the context of the book....
"Contemporary Iran is a complex place. The 1979 Revolution incited many changes, influencing how the country was perceived by its residents as well as by the rest of the world. While Iran has long been a major player in global culture, today it serves as one of the pivot points for international economic and diplomatic policies because of its location, huge oil reserves and nuclear capabilities. These multifaceted issues can overshadow the lives of individuals doing nothing more than trying to live their lives. Urban Iran gives voice to these people living and working in Iran today. With photographs of contemporary street culture by the artist - from graffiti to marketplaces to the underground music scene - a portrait of what daily life looks like in some of Iran's larger cities emerges. Written contributions from writers like prominent Iranian novelist Salar Abdoh further the issues and ideas presented in the photographs, revealing an Iran that is as divorced from the American media gaze, as it is inextricably linked."
