How it works


Four steps, one envelope

This is a slow project on purpose. Here's the whole of it, start to finish.

  1. 01

    I sketch a place

    I pick one place a month and give it real time — a bench in Jeddah's Al-Balad, a rooftop in Diriyah, a bus stop in Khobar. The drawing happens on location, in ink and watercolour, in whatever heat the day brings.

  2. 02

    The month's edition is made

    The sketch becomes the postcard. I write the story card about the corner it came from, choose a small thing from the trip, and write the letter last — while I still remember how the place felt.

  3. 03

    It's packed and posted from Saudi Arabia

    Everything goes by hand into a kraft envelope, gets a stamp, and I walk it to the post office here in Riyadh. Saudi addresses ship free; international is charged at cost, by region.

  4. 04

    It arrives as a piece of the journey

    Some months the mail is quick, some months it takes its time. Either way, what turns up is a small physical thing from somewhere in this country — yours to pin up, or send on to someone.

Pause, skip a month or cancel from your own dashboard, any time.
