nagfa proudly presents our fantastically-talented artist-friend, Md. Saad Md. Sarip a.k.a. awangpurba from Malaysia. His refreshing art is a hybrid of the Islamic-Middle-eastern-based calligraphy of 'Khat', and pictograms. The results are fun, and often paradoxymoronic depiction of stylish images.

Fadilah & Naguib
