MuslimFest is an annual festival that celebrates the best in Muslim Arts and entertainment. Featuring local and international artists who showcase their talent in various areas, concerts featuring popular Muslim artists, comedy shows, a multicultural bazaar, a kids carnival, and more. This year was my 3rd year at MuslimFest, and by far the best year. I met amazing chefs, artists and people from all different walks of life, tried amazing international foods, and had a B L A S T !.
I also had the opportunity to also speak to some local artists which will be featured below!.
Make sure you don't miss next years MuslimFest!

His Booth @ MuslimFest |
This was by far my favourite piece of his. Although you can't really see, the amount of layering and detail work is absolutely unreal and breathtaking!. He told me he does this by using layers of paint and glue, giving them a translucent depth.
