I have this thing where I see faces everywhere. Which is why I collect tiny animals to keep me company. Not live ones, naturally.

I don't normally like doing these bothway drawings, they're confusing as hell and I always feel stupid afterwards but I was debilitating bored in cinema class.

You know what they say about a many-eyed monster :P

what to do when a fox jumps over your head

Been away for a bit, no? I'm doodling again though, gonna put all of them up one by one. Some are really stupid and some are really sweet but mostly they're what they are, doodles.

My first oil painting. 2007.



Second attempt, I think. It hangs in my parents' bedroom now. Copied from a landscape book somewhere, I can't recall what the original painting is called.

I don't really use brushes for oil painting anymore, palette knives are better suited to my levels of patience and attention. And besides, the blurrier the better, I can't do details with oil very well.

This is from a Travel and Tourism poster I did back in school.




And this is from a menu card illustration.




Another tourism poster. I chose Kashmir. I love everything Kashmir.




Meditation and Healing.


Thought I'd put up some old stuff first.

Right. All of these were produced during end-of-term exams in school, back when I had Applied Art and Advertising sans Photoshop. Our hands were our tools, with stencils and paint and other stuff thrown in, and we were provided with the topic and the tagline, the rest was up to us. So yeah, everything apart from the actual illustration looked campy as hell. I miss these classes though, most of all I miss the poster paint. One of the reasons I like poster paint so much is because of the kind of opacity it provides - I can slather it on and swish it around and it still looks solid and comforting. I understand translucence and like it inasmuch as it makes things look transcendental and delicate, but posters should just be basic and colourful, I refuse to step off my soapbox in this case.

Everyone loves a sadhu, and I love this one I saw in Benaras, I remember him still because of the green beads and the flower in his hair.

Hello. Everyone does.
