My magic illustration world is a colorful world with no boundaries full of creativity and sometimes impossibilities which lets me forget the real world full of chaos!
The little girl went to the tallest tower of the colorful but low-spirited, silent and drought city, put her magic flute on her lips and blew all her feelings into it! 👧🏻✨ Clouds of feeling forming and covering the sky over the city, raining and reviving the sense of life! But only people whose flames of hope was still alive in their hearts got the sense of life!🌧✨🌻🌈
And your arms are cozy place to live, cozy place to die...♥️ #Ahmad_shamloo
The Young Heart How does it feel when you draw a small part of your imaginary world and live in it for a couple of moments?🔮✨ . P.S: 🎼 1)my main character is playing an instrument which is called “Tar”. Tar is an Iranian long-necked, waisted lute family instrument, used by many cultures and countries including Iran, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Georgia, Tajikistan and others near the Caucasus and Central Asia regions. “Tar” means “string” in Persian language. ♥️ 2)Mahdi named the illustration “Young heart” and I love it! 🧩 3)hopefully it’s going to be a 1000 pieces jigsaw puzzle!
I’m deseeding a pomegranate while telling my heart how would it be wonderful if the seeds of people’s heart were visible… #sohrab_sepehri Happy Yalda night!

“Like water for chocolate” written by Laura Squivel is one of my favorite books! I first read it when I was Persian literature student in university. A dear friend of mine gave it to me and I was very impressed by its genre and the narrative style! Like Water for Chocolate (Spanish: Como agua para chocolate) is a Mexican novel and the story is about a young girl who longs for her lover but can never have him because of her mother's upholding of the family tradition: the youngest daughter cannot marry, but instead must take care of her mother until she dies. Tita is only able to express herself when she cooks. The writer employs magical realism to combine the supernatural with the ordinary throughout the novel. The novel won the American Booksellers Book of the Year Award for Adult Trade in 1994.

“Mah Pishooni” is one of the famous Persian folktales (The Girl with the Moon Forehead). It has some similarities with cindrella story but its origin actually predates cindrella. There are several versions of this story! The main version of the story is a bit long with lots of adventures and detail. The currently well-known version of it is shorter and more suitable for children!

It’s international women’s day! So I’d like to honor few of inspiring women from different fields in the world during next days! ✨ Women in science: 🔭1) Vera Florence Cooper Rubin Vera Florence Cooper Rubin (July 23, 1928 – December 25, 2016) was an American astronomer who pioneered work on galaxy rotation rates. She uncovered the discrepancy between the predicted and observed angular motion of galaxies by studying galactic rotation curves. Identifying the galaxy rotation problem, her work provided the first evidence for the existence of dark matter.Her results were confirmed over subsequent decades. 📚Beginning her academic career as the sole undergraduate in astronomy at Vassar College, Rubin went on to graduate studies at Cornell University and Georgetown University, where she observed deviations from Hubble flow in galaxies and provided evidence for the existence of galactic superclusters. 🏅🎖She was honored throughout her career for her work, receiving the Bruce Medal, the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society, and the National Medal of Science, among others. 👩🏼🏫Rubin spent her life advocating for women in science and was known for her mentorship of aspiring female astronomers. She pioneered the field for many, and, in 2015, the National Science Foundation Vera C. Rubin Observatory (LSST) began construction. Her legacy was described by The New York Times as "ushering in a Copernican-scale change" in cosmological theory.

Shopping with your bicycle! Greenhouse gasses such as CO2 produced by us are increasing the global average temperature rapidly and more than ever in the recorded history! Climate change doesn't mean just warming, it also causes extreme weather conditions and disasters in a short period of time. A good example is the recent record breaking wildfires, heat waves, heavy storms, giant hurricanes, floods, water shortage, rising sea levels, ... which you hear happening around the world everyday in the news! We're all to some extend part of the problem and each one of us need to individually decide to reduce our footprints on the problem! Not just for our future generations anymore but for ourselves. Remember planet Earth doesn't need us, it is us who need the Earth and there's no planet "B" that we know of!
Our love is a never sleep village, not at nights nor at days, Flow and passion of life does not stop here even for a jiffy... ahmad shamlou

Spring is around the corner, “ Nowruz” is coming!
From Wikipedia: Yaldā Night (Persian: shab-e yalda) or Chelleh Night (Persian: shab-e chelle) is an Iranian Northern Hemisphere's winter solstice festival celebrated on the longest and darkest night of the year. According to the calendar, this corresponds to the night of December 20/21 (±1) in the Gregorian calendar, and to the night between the last day of the ninth month (Azar) and the first day of the tenth month (Dey)of the Iranian civil calendar. The longest and darkest night of the year is a time when friends and family gather together to eat, drink and read poetry (especially Hafez) until well after midnight. Fruits and nuts are eaten and pomegranates and watermelons are particularly significant. The red color in these fruits symbolizes the crimson hues of dawn and glow of life. The poems of Divan-e Hafez, which can be found in the bookcases of most Iranian families, are read or recited on various occasions such as this festival and Nowruz. Shab-e Yalda was officially added to Iran's List of National Treasures in a special ceremony in 2008.
