We're very proud this month to feature an interview by Q Magazine's Life Editor, Gabriel Tabasco with SULTAN ROYALE. As part of our cover story, Gabriel Tabasco talks to illustrator Sultan Royale and his creations which he says are ‘drawing of his global crushes.’ Where did the Instagram handle @SultanRoyale come from? I’m from the Middle East and I love the glories and beauty of the past. I love the sexiness and power of sultans and the secrets of harems, the palaces, gardens and such,, so the name Sultan Royale came and stayed. How did you begin drawing? It was during the Covid lockdowns. I was bored, away from home and needed an outlet. I bought an iPad and began drawing. Since then I never looked back. Q Feature.

LOSING YOUR BEST FRIEND Recent events involving two friends of mine reminded me of the immeasurable value pets have and how their (somewhat inevitable) loss deeply impacts the lives of their humans. In addition, as a superstitious person, it fills me with apprehension over the ‘all bad things happen in threes’ scenario - please give your pets a big hug every morning - just in case. My darling friend in Bendigo had his mate for almost two decades when one morning after being summoned to open the door for his morning ablutions, Mitchell’s legs gave way. I shouldn’t have to explain what happened next but suffice to say the void Mitchell’s passing has caused is pulpable - from the time you enter their apartment, sit at the dining table to the time you go to bed and wake the next morning. The second friend to experience this very sad event in their live was my dear friend Matty. Astro wrote a beautiful goodbye to his friends and family and you can read it in Q Diary in this issue. He was a darling old man and will be missed by everyone who met him. Q Comment.
