EDIT: One of my fav personal work, made in 2007 and i think i just made it look better and new with the orange border, new logo and a little cleaner lines. Keeping it fresh and professional

===================================
Levant ( Bilad al-sham, Greater Syria, Near East..)

I've been wanting to do this design for a long time, and now it's done! I know These designs usualy use pictures, and are less busy.. but i really felt like drawing the food I drew this real rough, didn't even use an eraser..so don't mind if the architect doesn't look all that..

This is sorta cultural celebration of the Levant, not a specific represantion of the historical region or today's countries in the Levant (sorry, i didn't end up putting anything from Jordan or Sinai Egypt). These religions all come from the levant (except Islam, but the levant is still very significant in its history) most of this food is popular throughout the middle-east, but a lot of it is argued that they originated arount the Levant. I put some exclusive animals like the Syrian hamster and Syrian bear (that looks like a Polar Bear here), and symbolic animals like camel.. no disrespect to the religions for including animals. This is not a tribute to the religions but to the land and it’s culture.

The buildings are: Dome of the Rock (Jerusalem), The Umayyad Mosque (Damascus), Downtown Beirut and
The Ibn Ma'an Castle (Palmyra)

This is has nothing to do with politics, so don't start anything here. Sorry for the long comment, now i’m gonna go get some shawarma hope you enjoy
