🐘Henna design inspired by my previous “elephants” post. [I would like to remind and inform that each existing art has copyright © -someone has created it even if it’s in “google images” and without watermark or signature. It’s still copyrighted ❗️ Whoever want to use or change any art needs permission from the author.
what happens when people use it without permission? They can be sued ❗️ and it’s a serious thing.
Some would say: “nah, it doesn’t work”, - oh I assure you, it does (I had few cases and it always ended successfully for me). Messing with copyright © is a really big deal.
I know there are smaller companies or even cultural stuff that people would give excuses/reasons for their use. “I am small business and I have to promote it somehow”, “I only posted it so it’s advertising the art”, and the biggest: “I didn’t know it was yours” - yes, even without knowing who is the artist you can be in trouble for reusing the art. If you don’t know who is the artist but you want only to share the image, please mention it “artist unknown”. But for any business use you cannot use that (or any other not your) image.
“It’s just a picture!” - no ❗️, it’s someone’s hard work, talent, skills, time and soul. If that is not respected than that person doesn’t know ANYTHING about art].

So this piece is a continuation of my “portraits henna designs” but it’s also very close to me as it represents my versions of “Umrao Jaan Ada”. One of my favorite stories.

Umrao Jaan Ada is an Urdu novel by Mirza Hadi Ruswa, first published in 1899. It is considered the first Urdu novel by many and tells the story of a courtesan and poet by the same name from 19th century Faizabad, as recounted by her to the author. -The woman I drew is totally created by me and the man is Mirza Hadi Ruswa.

Mirza Muhammad Hadi Ruswa (Urdu: مِرزا محمد ہادی رُسوا‎ (1857 – 21 October 1931) was an Urdu poet and writer of fiction, plays, and treatises (mainly on religion, philosophy, and astronomy). He served on the Nawab of Awadh's advisory board on language matters for many years. He was well-versed in Urdu, Persian, Arabic, Hebrew, English, Latin, and Greek.

His famed Urdu novel, Umrao Jan Ada, published in 1905, is considered by many as the first Urdu novel. It is based on the life of a renowned Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) courtesan and poet of the same name and later became the basis for Umrao Jan Ada (1972), a Pakistani film, and two Indian films, Umrao Jaan (1981) and Umrao Jaan (2006). The novel was also the basis of a Pakistani television serial, Umrao Jan Ada, which aired in 2003.

Interesting facts:
Ruswa's first work was published in 1887. This was a poem recounting the romantic tale of Laila-Majnu. Sadly, it was not well received. His versification was amateur, his wit unwitty, and his satire stale and flat. Portions of the work were condemned by critics as commonplace and vulgar. The criticism did not, however, dampen Ruswa's ardour to write poetry: he continued to compose mediocre verse till the end of his days. (Text/Info from: wikipedia)
