RAMADHAN KAREEM!

We scanned the sky and we sighted the moon, and we welcomed the month of Ramadhan!

الحمد لله الحمد لله

As you fast and pray in this holy month,

and feast with family and loved ones,

may your faith in Allah lead you to happiness, and

may He continue to shower His countless blessings upon you and your family...

I pray that those of us who are not clear in terms of our lives receive some guidance and that those who are fasting for the first time have a beautiful time!

Thank Allah we have lived to see another Ramadhan and pray for the forgiveness of those who have not. Taqaballahu minna wa minkum!

(May Allah accept it from us and you)

With Warm Wishes and Love from ISSA

Rifftrax/Plan 9 Avatars

If you were lucky enough to witness the Rifftrax Live event last night at a movie theatre near you, you know how damn good of a time it was. That was the first time I had been able to sit through Plan 9 and actually enjoy it. Not only that, but the guys pointed out some things that I never noticed about the film before, like rambling editing in major chunks of the film. (I was usually asleep by mid-film due to it's pure ineptitude.)

Anyway, if you attended, you also got access to a digital goodie bag that included the new short "Flying Stewardesses", a digital autograph from the boys, the Plan 9 Rifftrax song and - the coolest part - my Plan 9 avatar set done specifically for the event!

So far, reaction has been pretty favorable. I am planning on drawing two more female characters and making them available for the ladies. So keep en eye out for them. But I hope everyone had a good time last night. Go and use my avatars!

ON EDIT: The new female avatars are available here and here.

Also, I hope to have an announcement regarding my new art site that I have been talking about on Twitter. Stay tuned for that!

Out of Action

Dear Marketing Practice readers,

I am currently passing through a slow, painful recovery from Disc Prolapse... So will be out of action for a few days.. will be back soon..

Things Allah Won't Ask You About. . .

Allah wont ask you what car you drove,
He will ask how many people you gave a ride who didn't have transportation.

Allah won't ask the square footage of your house,
He will ask how many people you welcomed in the house.

Allah won't ask about the number of clothes in your closet,
He will ask how many people you helped clothe.

Allah won't ask what your highest salary was,
He will ask if you compromised your character to obtain it.

Allah won't ask what your job title was,
He will ask if you performed your job to the best of your ability.

Allah won't ask how many friends you had,
He will ask how many people to whom you were a friend.

Allah won't ask in what neighborhood you lived,
He will ask how you treated your neighbors.

Allah won't ask about the color of your skin,
He will ask about the content of your character.

Allah won't ask why it took you so long to seek forgiveness,
He will lovingly take you into your mansion in Paradise, not to the gates of Hell
