The idea to turn Rayyan’s artwork into these colourful phone cases came through Sarah, as she had just turned her artworks into phone cases and wanted to do the same for Rayyan. With support from netizens, the phone cases will be in production as soon as the family finds a supplier, after that, they will open for pre-orders.

Speaking to JUICE, Sarah says, “As a mother, I’m really touched by the support everyone is showing towards my boy for I find it very encouraging towards his growth as an artist (for now).” She adds that there would not be any ready stock phone cases as they will be limited edition merchandises for both their work.

In the future, Sarah plans to convert Rayyan’s artwork into other things like mugs and plates but will take it one step at a time for now.

Rayyan, who has been a lover of art since he was 4 years old, has been following his mother’s footsteps by attending her art classes as well as classes from other art studios like Olive Arts Studios and M.S. Khalid Studio.
