Early Morning at the Sayyed Darwish Coffeeshop, Kom El-Dekka, Alexandria. Pen, ink and watercolor, December 2011. (For those who don't know, Sayyed Darwish is the Egyptian composer who, amongst innumerable works, created the Egyptian National Anthem. It was used to rouse the people in 1919 against the British until it was implemented as a national anthem by Sadat in 1972.)
