NYT bestselling illustrator, Hatem Aly joins Anitha to share his up and down journey into illustration.
The two talk about the wonderful initiative which brought them together—Coffees For Gaza. Hatem was one of the many creators to donate art that raised funds to help families devastated by the war in Palestine. Anitha successfully bid on not one, but two of Hatem’s beautiful pieces of art!
Hatem also talks about the pushback he unfortunately received from some schools for being outspoken about what’s happening in the Middle East.
An open and honest conversation with one of today’s sought after illustrators—Everything from illustration to standing up for what you believe in.
