Dubai entrepreneur puts wearable art on T-shirts

Luma Makhlouf, of Chicago, has started a T-shirt business named Ursom, which means "drawing" in Arabic.  She prints graphics from local artists to find Middle eastern art.

Luma was always looking for a way to keep in contact with her heritage, and this was a great way to it.  Working from a database of 400 artists, she is doing everything but the art.  Printing, shipping, all of it.  She's only sold 55 T-shirts and knows she needs to scale up to be competitive.

Here's wishing Luma a successful business venture.
