Illustration Friday: Brave

Even if they denied you everything,

tied you up, gagged you.

Told you

that

nothing was possible.

I'd say

the stars are calling.

Reach out.

Be BRAVE.

Artists Trading Cards

A bunch of people have started the trend (or are trying to start the trend) of artist trading cards (ACTs) in college. I think its a great initiative. you scribble out something, anything, no pressures on a business card sized paper. Scan it. Send it to the guys incharge of putting it here- http://atc-nid.blogspot.com and Ta-Da! then of course you can trade it with fellow ATC makers.

Only wish it wasnt restricted to NIDians.

shiny-happy

Have been way waay waaaaaay too busy the past couple of months. Managed to find something nice enough to upload after the whole RGB-SAC-claymation craziness.

Something I made during my happy summer trip to Padubidri, a small coastal town a little north of Mangalore.

Cheers to drunken drawing!

Ink, stickers and pen on paper

bug-bugs-bugger-dont bug yaa

I've been on an insect trip lately. I dont know why, especially because I used to think people who drew insects as 'cool-dark-trippy' things were kind of dumb. Mine are just lovelorn ones :D

I think I just miss my biology practicals.

iheartcoffee

I've been called bini by my friends for a couple of years. And as with most nicknames its been shortened/stretched/cropped/warped/morphed. Its gone from bini to beeni to beani to beany to beans (and etc etc).

Therefore as a dedication to all my friends and my eternal love/addiction to coffee Ive made this collage of trash from various coffee places...

unfortunately couldn't get a very good scan of it...but please do click on the image to enlarge.

enjoy!

pens, colour pencils, tissue and paper doily from cafes.

Illustration Friday : Music

I really REALLY wish i could sing, or play an instrument or even at least have a ear for music. unfortunately I'm quite tone deaf and am only a passive appreciator.

I guess I unconsiously drew the women as versions of me, versions that know how to make music!

this is just an initial drawing for what i hope will end up as a painting.

Illustration Friday : Germs

OK...so this isn't exactly an illustration on the IF topic germs, but i did draw this when i was in the hospital affected by typhoid germs.
i was tired of all the IV fluids being constantly poured into my system through a tiny needle that had managed to render my left hand useless during that time, and all i wanted was to get out of the hospital and go to the beach. ahhh the joys of lying mindlessly on the sand and getting baked........
