Khatt Chronicles in Conversation With Bahij Jaroudi

Yasmine Nachabe Taan interviews Lebanese illustrator and animator Bahij Jaroudi about his professional journey and motivation. Bahij talks about the importance for him to draw everyday, to enjoy the process and to strive to create beautiful images. He uses his work to express his emotions and to respond to current or personal events, and finds ultimate satisfaction when his work is seen and enjoyed by others. He states: “you have to be brutally honest with your self if you want to be honest in your work.” The discussion further unpacks the difference between animation, comics and illustration, and Bahij articulates the importance for young illustrators (his students) to explore their own personal visual language and not get influenced by global visual trends.For more information: @bahijjaroudiFollowInstagram: @khatt_chroniclesTwitter: @khttnetYouTube: Khatt Chronicles - YouTubeKhatt.net_Khatt Chronicles: https://www.khtt.net/en/page/28678/khatt-design-chronicles***** About afikra *****afikra is a movement to convert passive interest in the Arab world to active intellectual curiosity.
