Handsome Emiratis

Khaleejia said: Last month we see more and more articles in the news starting from Handsome Emirati..or even Too Handsome Emirati... I got messages from different countries asking me if they are really so handsome or not? Well some of them are truly are and some are not so..though it is not to be commented.. unless you come and see by yourself :)

Sheikh Hamdan, Fazzaa, one of the most adorable Emirati man by people from all over the world though not only for the face features but for his activities.

ٍSheikh Majed
 

The National has published an interesting article about handsome animated Emirati character. The cartoon is a part of a continuing campaign by Seha, the Abu Dhabi Health Services Company. The headline of the article is  "The handsome Emirati capturing the hearts of UAE viewers" and tells about the idea behind it.  It was good to know that basic idea for choosing the proper type of the character  was to use handsomeness as attraction to the healthy life style which remembers us the famous quote " Beauty will save the world".

Ramadani funny series NEW 2012 by Khaled AlJabri

Khaleejia said: Ramadan is a blessed month. We all love it and enjoy the fasting. Most of us know how to fast from Quran, families and teachers, but there is always something special that may not everyone notice- it is how we actually spend it in the real life. Famous Emirati writer & cartoonist and my friend Khaled Al Jabri launched his caricature Ramadan series where he features all those hidden yet true facts of the modern Ramadani fasting habits in al Khaleej (the Gulf).

Day1 : " How to watch all those TV serials in Ramadan?"
Day 2 : Which serial to watch?
 Day 3: Do you fasting this year?
 Day 4 : "Levels of danger": Lion, Cobra and a fasting man at work.
 Day 5 : "Attention! Fasting people in front!
 Day 6: Before 1 minute of al-Athan al Fajr(call to the morning pray):
 Day 7: "Ramadan shopping- food sparing": Woman : "Only?!"

UAE got talents! Khaled al Jabri

Meet the next Emirati talent who turns to be more and more popular among those who can think and be critical at first to themselves and then to others!
I was amazed by his creations, works and the whole idea! I must say that such people brake the routine of reality and help us better see ourselves from a side.

خالد سالم الجابري / Khaled Salem al-Jabri Was born in Abu Dhabi 1978, graduated from the University of United Arab Emirates specialty mechanical engineering in 2004, A presenter of a new generation of educated and widely thinking youth of GCC.
This is his story..
“I worked for Al Khaleej Newspaper which was part of the youth program and worked at Istirahat Al Jumaa' as a comic artist for several years. I had also made many contributions with other Newspapers like Al Bayan, News of the World and some e-Magazines.
At the moment I write for my own site www.dristna.com and share my work on my Facebook page because I feel that the internet and social media are better tools to spread news these days than traditional newspapers.
My talent for drawing emerged during childhood, but the interest for comical art emerged at a later stage. During my university years at Emirates University and through socializing with other students I leaned towards drawing comical art because it reflected my personality.
Expressing a subject through comical irony, whether it be direct or indirect, has a greater effect on people than any article would do.

Talent for drawing was noticed  in childhood, but the real inclination towards drawing the caricatures was at the university when life was characterized by friction between the university and students. I felt a great inclination towards the cartoon because it reflects my personality and ironic that i was expressing via a complete idea   and indirectly influence that more powerful than any article.
Topic started explicitly in housing  students in the University of the UAE, where were the decisions taken by the administration of housing but we opposed it, so I draw comics that were expressing our opposition and sticked them  onto the board to display and  advertise in the housing, but the management of housing, remove the cartoons after several hours when discovered caricature, I was ready to it and printed advance copies of the same cartoons and  put them  in other places!
And then I started developing  the subject and draw for the rest of the negative aspects of housing that were prevalent at that time in the restaurant, the mosque and buses, etc., and then teamed up with Gulf News, and there was the real beginning.
For the comics, the most important elements that concentrate in any cartoon is the power of an idea and the strength of a question. I mean for example if we pick up an expensive oil price as a problem, the first thing I think about is how I bring this topic up? Is it street I shall walk the donkeys down? (Expression of the dispensing car ride!) Or I will make the oil treated with gold and silver (evidence of excessive high price) or I I’d search for  another? I think the idea is - finding innovative means completing 50% of the same cartoon as a whole.
The second thing satirical characters or features, which prefers to be very cynical, Caricature exaggeration intended to show what the aim of ridiculing him.
And a beautiful thing in the caricature is that it has a style of indirect discourse, for you can put a sensitive subject but in a manner most intelligent readers can perceive.
I have plans for future, but it is still in the process of study, including plans to develop the site to become more communicative with the public, including trying to enter the field of cartoon characters and the subject of  distinctive tradition and close to the heart of the UAE society.”
So, we wish you all the best! Keep your work up and bring more smiles to people faces while thinking about any problem)
P.s. Khaled is working on the English translation to his arabic language caricature. so be-up-dated))
Here are some of  Khaled’s cute caricatures. enjoy!
The first pic ,i guess ,represents Khaled himself who is sitting on the magic carpet that hovers over the hectic reality of where all the details of modern life are well visible to him.  الحل-الوحيد-للزحام  تطور-بوتفخة mini abaya))

خالد سالم الجابري، مواليد ابوظبي 1978، تخرج من جامعة الامارات تخصص هندسة ميكانيكية عام 2004، عمل في جريدة الخليج في ملحق شباب الخليج واستراحة الجمعة كرسام كاريكاتير لعدد من السنوات وله مساهمات في جرائد ودوريات اخرى كجريدة البيان وجريدة العالم ومجلة حطة الالكترونية وغيرهم. حالياً اكتفي بنشر اعمالي في موقعي الالكتروني www.drishtna.com وكذلك على صفحتي في الفيسبوك، وذلك ايماناً مني بأن تأثير الانترنت في عصرنا الحالي صار يضاهي تأثير الصحف والدوريات الورقية.
موهبة الرسم ظهرت في مرحلة الطفولة، ولكن الميل الحقيقي نحو رسم الكاركاتير كان في المرحلة الجامعية التي كانت تتميز بحياتها الجامعية والاحتكاك بين الطلبة. فشعرت بميل كبير نحو الكاريكاتير لانه يعبر عن شخصيتي الساخرة ولانه يعبر عن الفكرة كاملة وبشكل غير مباشر وبتأثير اقوي من اي مقال.
بدأ الموضوع صراحة في سكن طلاب جامعة الامارات حيث صدرت قرارات اتخذتها ادارة السكن وكنا نعترض عليها، فكنت ارسم كاريكاتير يعبر عن اعتراضنا واعرضه على اللوحة الرئيسية لعرض الاعلانات في السكن، وكانت ادارة السكن تزيل الكاريكاتير بعد عدة ساعات عندما تكتشف الكاريكاتير، ولكني كنت اطبع نسخ مسبقة من نفس الكاريكاتير واضعها مكان الكاريكاتير المفقود!
ومن ثم تطور الموضوع وصرت ارسم عن بقية سلبيات السكن التي كانت سائدة في ذلك الوقت في المطعم والمسجد والباصات وغيرها، ومن ثم تعاونت مع جريدة الخليج ومن هنا كانت البداية الحقيقية.
بالنسبة للكاريكاتير، فأن اهم العناصر التي اركز عليها في اي رسم كاريكاتوري هو قوة الفكرة وقوة طرحها. يعني مثلاً لو كنت اتناول مشكلة كمشكلة غلاء البترول، فأن اول ما افكر فيه هو كيف سأطرح هذا الموضوع؟ هل سأعبر عنه بشارع تمشي فيه الحمير؟ (تعبيراً عن الاستغناء عن ركوب السيارات!) ام اني سأجعل البترول يعامل معاملة الذهب والفضة (دليل على ارتفاع سعره المبالغ فيه) ام اني سأتناول طرح اخر؟ اظن ان ايجاد الفكرة المبتكرة يعني انجاز 50% من الكاريكاتير نفسه ككل.
الشيء الثاني الشخصيات او الملامح الساخرة والتي يفضل ان تكون ساخرة جداً، فالكاريكاتير القصد منه المبالغة في اظهار الشيء بقصد السخرية منه.
والجميل في الكاريكاتير هو انه يملك اسلوب الطرح الغير مباشر، حيث ان بأمكانك طرح موضوع حساس ولكن بأسلوب ذكي بأمكان اغلب القراء ادراكه.
لدي مخططات مستقبلية، ولكنها مازالت في طور الدراسة، منها مخططات لتطوير الموقع ليصبح اكثر تواصلاً مع الجمهور، ومنها محاولة دخول مجال الكارتون بشخصيات مميزة وموضوع مميزبعيد عن التقليد وقريب من قلب المجتمع الاماراتي.

Another Cool Emirati Cartoon!!! "Khoosa Boosa" خوصه بوصه

Khaleejia said: Khoosa Boosa is an old game Khaleeji children played in the past. And it's the name of a new 3-D cartoon about Emirati lifestyle!
Khoosa Boosa is a new cartoon shown on Sama Dubai this Ramadan. It's about Emirati lifestyle! Everything in the cartoon is exactly how it is in real life of average UAE locals! And that's why it maybe difficult to understand for people outside Emirati society... nevertheless some things can be understood without translation and explanation:)

Enjoy the cartoon!







And there's even one more new cartoon consisting of short parts about health and healthy life style in Khaleeji families :)

A Hilarious Emirati Cartoon- Shabiat Al Cartoon: شعبية الكرتون








Khaleejia said: "Shabiat Al Cartoon" is a very funny low budget cartoon made by Emirati youth.
This cartoon tells about life of the modern UAE nationals in an honest and funny way. It's in Arabic, but those who lived in the UAE or know Arabic culture will be able to understand a lot even if they dont know the language. At the same time some parts of the cartoon refer to very specific aspects of locals' life which is hard to understand for people outside Emirati society.

This cartoon is showed on TV during Ramadan. Last year this cartoon was more successful (i.e. was loved by locals) than the famous "Freej" cartoon which was rather boring. Hence "Freej" was stopped but Shabiat al Cartoon will be shown on TV again this Ramadan (of course all new parts :)

You can watch some parts of this cartoon on YouTube


Enjoy!!!!

Freej - Emirati Folklor


Khaleejia said:

First UAE 3D cartoon Freej that came from arabic farij-"folklor" in the Khaleeji dialect tells the comic story of four old ladies (Um Saeed, Um
Saloom, Um Allawi and Um Khammas) dealing with life in the fast-paced,
ever-changing, modern-day Dubai. They have a typical sarcastic accents filled with joy and a retro scent. Freej brings forth to the cultural national identity and already adored across generations, when it started as a doodle nearly seven years ago the cartoon has grown into a monster hit, popular with Emiratis of all ages.


In the Arab culture, grandmothers are
at the heart of the family and culturally for both
Emiratis and expats, it is a part of life that is rarely
acknowledged. Freej is an answer to representing the
UAE culture, through humour, to the rest of the
world. It is not a religious tool to communicate
about Islam, but a family-orientated show that
looks at the daily lives of Arabs living in the UAE.





Here the really funny but true apisode abt shopping feature in arab countries.
As soon as its in arabic i would like to give some words' translation for those who don't understand arabic :
kam - how much (does it cost)
akhar- last
kam akhar/akhr kam - what is the last price
arbayn-40
thalathin - 30
ishrin -20
ashra -10
habibti-dear (fem)
seir - price
atani ha - he gave me it
balash - for free
