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!!!!! :)

Masks

Once again Tibetan Buddhist influences re-surface. People often wear masks everyday of their lives...a different one for different people and occassions. As for me I feel the lesser the masks or none..the better...
I have masks... but they are to do with my moods..the upper one being fierce or angry mask and the bottom one being..mischevious and happy...

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....
'The small joys of stationary...'

Lotus love..

Somehow I have developed a deep love for lotuses...for their colour, form and well beauty in general....also I guess coz it i so intensely used in Buddhist and Indian religious iconography...
So here are some illustrations on paper, a table.
I have also tattooed lotuses on my calves..also they are all around my house.... so here is for the love of lotuses :)

Random Lines

                            
Nothing much to say about these..just some lines....somehow I feel they have an oriental spirit to them.
