I Promise I Won't Care T

Photoshop vectors (yay pen tool), with some effects.

Arabic calligraphy, done to resemble a dancing woman (i would have liked to put that in spoiler tags; see who can see it without reading it). The words say:
و ماذا عنّي أنا؟
أنا أحب. أنا أعشق.

I’ve had some trouble translating it. It says:
What about me?
I love. I adore.

The second part translates to “I love. I love.” when i run it through google translate. I looked for synonyms for love but I couldn’t find anything that fits perfectly and was just a single word. It’s the most romantic flavor of love, sensual, physical and heartfelt. Perfect.

    this is great. i saw it as a woman almost straight away. is the arabic here easy to read or is it very stylised?

  • Shadi N. Saber replied

    The Arabic is very stylized; that’s why i have it scrawled in a legible font above my signature in the original sketch. I think there are calligraphy rules / methods that are used for pieces such as this that i should have followed but i am, as usual, blissfully oblivious (:

    (thanks for your comment btw; I really appreciate it)
