Are there other Somali cartoonist besides Amin Amir?

[Niya]

I saw one or two cartoons via Bartamaha. But are there up and coming cartoonist you know of?

[Demure]

Niya, I don't know about other cartoonist but there is another very good artist Dr Mohamed Buwe Osman (He also happens to be a practicing physician) I liked some of his work like the pieces he did on Lonliness and FGM.

His website is not working but I found another site which has some of his paintings.

Demure, I like Mohamed Buwe Osman's art. "Conception" is very appealing to me for some reason. Did you read the captions? Did you understand what they were about?

[Demure]

Prag, Yes I read the captions and I think I got the drift of things for the most part. But at times I incorporate my own perception which could vastly differ from what the artist intended and I could totally come up with a different subject of discourse for the painting. I like his FGM best, it portrays so much pain. What do you see in Conception?

[PragmaticGal]

Demure, I'm not sure what I like about "Conception", I just do.

I don't see "FGM".

[Demure]

It was on his website along with the rest of his paintings. It appears to be down at the moment.

Correct you are Prag. I'm having a wireless difficulty tonight. Pages are taking forever to load...

[PragmaticGal]

This one is nice.
