I had taken off all the broken parts of the Oud, the cleaning was some what hard at first but it went fine at the end. here are the photos of what left of this Oud.
So I feel like it! I started making the ribs. About four ribs are done.

Uploaded the film and happy for the moment and not sure about the viewers. As name Memories oh spring... is a short file I made for the 2009 spring. Tools was used is the Sony Handycam DCR-HC36 which is Cool for the size (somewhat old!) performances and cost. Editing software is Blender3D, It did a good job for an open source software. Piano, it was Pianoteq 2.2 from MODARTT software, This is the first time in my life and all the days of piano performing, I find Pianoteq The software for New age music (in a software level).
My thought now is clear on thing that happen during my work on the film, I first started of by the Piano and was improvised playing on the fly which I enjoy a lot and is to me freedom to do so. After that I made the filming, the goal was the mood than story and to my personal view there is a story to be told in the film but that differs to one person to another.
I like to thank you all who had helped me, family and some friends on the net.
It was time I did not made Oud and this is my first time repairing one! This is a Moroccan oud/Arabian lute made by a known maker but he did not add his label in it, some say it was a concept that he was working on.
This is Our family Oud, purchased by my grandfather May he rest in pace amen ( GOD willing). I do not repair instrument just like that, so this has a meaning for me to do so.
What happened to the instrument for short is, A drunk Person went too a group of people having fun playing Oud and guitar, this drunk Person made up problem, A small fight happened, instruments was on the table in between and it got broken.
This instrument was used and played back in 2000 (I think), destroyed in 2007, repairing in august 2009 .
The goals are to add about 6 new ribs, fix the neck or also called the peg-box, face also needed a new one, somewhat of a fix at the fingerboard.
Hi! I did not show up on some forums, I was away for sometime But I had use the net and seen some sites! (not all).
I am working on a Hardcover book (Coffee table Book) with help of talented group. So that`s why I was away. It is on the final preparation for release which will be before the end of this year 2009. I also had invited Company's like Drinks, hotels, airlines etc, to participate on advertising in our book. some hints, Art book CG (computer graphic) and I may integrate some of who participated on advertising use their logo in my art. this is all for now! If you are a company that who want to advertise with us, feel free to contact me in person.
More news: I will start updating my works on the net. I had canceled my Music album ( it do not have to do with the Hardcover book project) all I can say it has to do with time. Plus there is more projects to come also this year (God willing). More news from me to come with in two weeks from now. There are some events happening now so I hope for them great times also Ramadan, Ramadan Kareem.
This was for same time in my hard-drive, I wanted to add more to it but I had that feeling not to add more, it is good as it is! About the art; Made with Painter. I call it Under sea, it has this Impressionism art Feel to it so CG Impressionism if that's right to call. To me its about mood more than anything, Mood to feel that your under sea.
Edit: I know the fish is not Right nor it look like a fish, that`s why I call this work Impressionism!
I did a forum! and I have no idea why or how to run it!as I created the forum, I wanted to add a new logo so came up with this.forum is for artist and non-artist so any one is welcome.Oh, do not forget a drink!
Just what can I say?! this is painted on the net, yes on the net! it`s called ArtPad, it was a long time I did not have fun, it is not the High-end tool but fun to use...
as for the art or doodle, I call it That Dude! that person Dude is living in his land feeling happy and not giving a shit about anything, feels good! here is the link to this doodle in ArtPad. As for the other one is called oldy in, I have no idea why, what I wanted is to give a old days look and a man passing by his land seeing the works and something got his eye as he walk by. click here to see
Also my mother used it! this paint is called Faith click here
I am in thinking, A freedom that can be spoken of but image with an endless words, endless words needs an endless mind, an endless mind can be with an endless thoughts.

Flying Deep In is one of my Sci-fi idea on Unknown world! modeled in blender 3D, rendered in blender`s internal render but 70% of the work was in PhotoShop CS4, paint over, Post-pro and all Of the effects are made in PS.
Flying Deep In is a Sci-fi concept I really like to do, there is somewhat of a story line that is, in this frame you see where earth had interned to Unknown world, exploring the world in the same time under attack. Deep in they find living thing that no one had ever think of can be.
After thinking of something new I come up with Here And There a fairy tales. this is modeled in Blender 3D and render in Blender`s internal render, UV/Image Editor to paint over the render and finished with PhotoShop CS4. most of the work was paint over.
I called it here and there because of two different worlds A world that no one know of and a world some seen, it a fairy tales!
This is a fast paint I did with PhotoShop CS4, its called The hard Way to blender 3D! I did this for how like to work with blender ( or any other work) THE hard way! I personally like to use blender the hard way and there is some artist out there like to do that too, not saying that blender is hard no but its all about the artist way of thinking. In the paint you see the artist or blender user marching to his/her next art work!
This is one of my old work done with Blender 3D back in 2005 in September. It was a scene for TV commercial I was working on but it was just a test shot. I added more texture fix the lighting and I had rendered it with Yafray after the render I take it to blender`s UV/image editor for a tweak After that the work stop at that point but I got finished wallpaper Render. Hope you like it.

Ihave thoughts and Philosophy on life, If that`s is not right is not right the same with wrongness, describing both it is like clear differences between fresh food and rotten ones. Impressionism I perform through what I see, eat, smell, listen and other unknown senses.
