Ali Abbas from Jamshoro, Sindh

“The drawings and paintings of Ali Abbas convey realism portrayed with dignity and compassion. There is a touching simplicity in the delightful cameos he produces, often highlighted by carefully rendered areas of bright coloration. His subjects appear as transitory figures sheltering in temporary abodes, nomadic and wandering according to seasons and circumstances….” Marjorie Husain

Travel 'journal-style' pages:

A collection of some pages that are in a journal style…ie. not just a single ‘great’ sketch on a page. Ones that tell a story, ones that I enjoy looking at and re-living months, years later. A combination of sketches, media, notes, a map, a bit of collage…and maybe even a tea cup sketch or two

skilled craftsmen, disregarding public

The government launched an arts and crafts exhibition in Islamabad but failed to draw public at the venue. As a result, the craftsmen and skilled labour faced difficulties and returned to their homes with meager amounts of money. The lack of publicity turned a promising event into a major disappointment

Market in motion

A quick look at one of the oldest standing structures in Karachi — the Empress Market.
Once, it bragged of being the biggest market in Karachi, just one of only seven. Today, it competes with thousands of corner stores, wholesale markets and shopping plaza’s. Business may have declined a little but the hustle and bustle represented in this 30 second video shows that the market is going strong. Hussain Afzal and Raheel Qureshi take you through an entire day at The Empress Market.

“mouchay tu mard ki nishani hain, mouchay nahi hoein tu woh mard tu nahi hoa” (moustaches are symbolic of manhood, one cannot be a man without a moustache) LOL

Whether it’s the intimidating army moustache, a curled, walrus or pencil moustache, the average Pakistani man will sport such facial hair one time or another in his life. Dawn.com takes a stroll down Abdullah Haroon Road finding out what the moustache means to them.
