Marvellous links these - thanks. See also the work of Iraqi-born (but Paris-resident) calligrapher Hassan Massoudy.

Stroke of genius, madamjujujive! A subtle way of saying what's worth saying at this moment, without spluttering and vein-busting. Thank you.

Another cool Iraqi artist - Saad Alani.

quonsar, leave us alone! Don't you have any respect for those of us with refined aesthetic sensibilities?
Incest - moi??? Why ever would you think that?
