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

twoway

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. 

Everyone's on Scribbler so why stay away? This is a dude who spat out an eyeball after accidentally eating a creature with... lots of eyeballs. In his defence, he was told it was a speckled egg delicacy.

I mean it when I say this blog's only half-serious, I'm going to put up stuff I think of as good and not so good but I'm also going to put up half-assed fooling around. Because half-assed fooling around is the shit. And Graffiti on Facebook tops my list of half-assed fooling around because it's all kinds of fun and I'm weirdly proud of the things I come up with on it because it's like the design version of Twitter: you needn't spend too long on it and there's no deliberation or planning involved and in my case, as already established, it's half-assed. Or desultory, that's a nicer word. A desultory riot. Hah.

Which is why I'll through the trouble of taking screen captures.

Now go away.

Wintry one for Rupsha.

Hasty morbid one for Puja.

Wonky American Gothic one for Sroyon.

Letterhead. Fooling around. Not to mention pretty obvious. But I'd like to own a company called this. The dragon bit, yeah, I don't know either.

An exercise in rendering the obvious:

Mock book covers for our Macbeth project, which tried to look at the play as a modern-day whodunit with Macduff being called in by Malcolm to investigate Duncan's murder. It's narrated by Macduff's wife, who functions more or less as a Watson figure and remains unseen throughout. The end result was a Max Payne-ish ten-minute film composed of posterised photographs made to look like graphic novel panels. What a mishmash.

Here are some shots I took:

Taken with a Canon 450D then posterised and fiddled around with. We added comicbook-style captions and voiceovers. And when it was all done we went to Arsalan and ate mounds of biryani to celebrate. So all's good.

Messing around with some Van Gogh brushes that I found on dA.

I'm not sure if this qualifies as a good start because I am now aware that Photoshop filters are plebeian and restrictive, not to mention entirely too straightforward ;)
