Dream world

Memories of you blanket me thru all the sadness and chaos of life. Thoughts of you keep me warm and help me sleep through each lonely night. You have become my light, warmth, my dream world to escape to...and you don't even know it yet! Maybe it is better this way..in life you could never compare to this version of you!

I still have plants on my mind....

Still got plants on my mind....I bought some plants to have nature closer to me. It is still work in progress.. but surrounding oneself in green in this concrete world...is sooooo calming.
Also I heard..November rain and Tuesday's gone after decades...was quite refreshing.

Goa enlightenment

And nature fills you!

Breathe and feel it's heartbeat...your's is in sync!!!

What a beautiful feeling...Thank you Goa....you reminded me of who I really am!!!

Wish my hair would grow out like that

Women always long for good quality lustrous hair....I wish my hair would grow out like this...
Each person should have personality suiting plants and colours.
If one could extend one's personality into one's hair like this...what fun it would be!!!
(of course I'm not even thinking about it practically)
Special hair fertilizers and colour enhancing products, people would figure out ways to create artificial or personalised plants also.....hahahaaa....seems someone mixed something in my coffee today morning!!!! Morning Maddness!!!!

Dollies

Not really into very girly sketches..but I happen to have these from a couple of years ago. I do make dolls sometimes...It's a fascination I have.. For people who love dolls these two websites are really awesome.. http://dubuhdudesigns.typepad.com/
and http://www.enchanteddoll.com/

Blurred

This is actually the reverse of the original artwork...I tend to do this quite often..and the back becomes a completely new artwork...and looks better than the first one.
I have to get back to sketching again..been sooo busy and pre occupied lately..  :(

Collage fever

The first one was made way back in 2005...I was in collage mode..mix of an existing magazine face print..with drawn out body and hair patch and it has a worked out fabric patch also.

The base is gold foil print.

The second one are patches of burnt gateway sheets..which I has burnt in my hostel room out of sheer boredom..in 2004. the layers of grey and the textured surface turned out really fun.

The third one was made in 2005 from block printed newspaper strips..the gold pigment does not really look gold in the scan.
I think I should get back to collages again....having a deep deep craving for collages all of a sudden  :)

If I had Indian eyes....

I guess it always happens...when people have straight hair..they want curly hair..and when people have oriental eyes...sometimes thay crave bigger eyes..... :p

This was just one of those explorations with colored ink pens... (but sometimes i do want big eyes...like the anime characters)

All things Indian

These are not my best sketches... but as you can see these are many years apart..some point or the other it seems I sketch something similar. Indian-ness is something that I hold very dear to me...and at some point it manifests itself..whether its clothes I wear or colours I use!!! Mera Bharat Mahan!!!!! :)

Women from strange places

I love making strange looking women...no reason in particular..I actually love hairstyling, costumes and make up also sci fi stuff sometimes...not that these sketches have anything impressive relating that..
The first one is inspired by a space age geisha and the second..has serious static electricity around her :p

All is full of love!!!

Woke up feeling all is full of love...good and sad...

Reminds me of the bjork song... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjAoBKagWQA

Love the video..the track...all of it!!!

Sending a lot of love and positive energy to all!!!

Ball pen girl

I had never used ball pens....so in this one I tried to use sketch pens, blow pens and ball pens. They create lovely textures...I think I should use them more often. As such I use whatever I have at hand....
