Iskool

A few months ago, i made some illustrations for some friends' reports. Unfortunately they could not use it, but i was still quite happy with the results .
these were made for a report for an NGO.

Winter crept up over the weekend

A small drawing I did some time ago,

My long weekend

I had made plenty of plans for this long weekend, (this included book-shopping, catching up with friends, relaxing, cooking some, making comics, and so on).

However, things didn't quite turn out that way, I was down all three days with a horrendous cold, and spending time with my new best friend, the Vaporiser.

Fun times.

People with tattoos

I recently accompanied some friends for their first and second tattoos respectively, and spent some hours in the tattoo parlour. After giving them "helpful" comments ("that one? reminds me of a bouncer"), I spent some time doodling and chatting up the other patrons.

There was a girl who wanted a tattoo "to give her strength" and decided on a intricate one of Lord Shiva on her forearm, a boy who wanted Che Guevera with a chinese script saying 'peace' under it (bit of an oxymoron, don't you think?), and a couple who sauntered in to get their daughter's ears pierced. The kid raised hell, crying, yelling and kicking. This whole drama included the mother yelling at the kid's father, the kid trying to escape repeatedly, and everyone else freezing till the screaming stopped. I must be getting old after all, but whenever a kid in my family got his ears pierced, we went to a jeweller. These guys were such experts, that the kid would be playing one minute, and the next minute he would have pierced ears. AND they did home visits too. So the kid could throw a tantrum in the privacy of its own house, if it so pleased. Towards the end, another couple came in with the wife wanting a "tramp stamp" (this is a term I got from How I Met Your Mother, so you will have to watch that). Heh.


I doodled there a bit, but this is the one sketch I liked the best.

Categorising people

A quick categorisation of people based on their Independence day sentiments.

We all know which category I belong to :)

a little trip

I went on a little trip recently, where I didn't do much but eat and sleep. I also managed to produce these two little drawings.

My friend sitting on a swing on the verandah.

And the two beautiful snow-white bulls which lived in the cattle shed behind us.

Valentine's day and a terror attack

Isn't it strange that on the day before we celebrate the day for the Saint of Love, there happened a hate-induced attack in my city?
This is the freaky Valentine day card I wanted to upload today.

 

However this probably wasn't scary enough, I heard the news of the attack.

So today I drew this. So I will upload this too.

  

My heart goes out to the victims of Pune's terror attack. Love and peace to all.

somewhat uninspired

I have bouts of creative activity, its rather like a sneezing attack. This week, I am feeling particularly non-productive.
Smallish sketch, made some time in october.

haiku

I wanted to try out a new effect in Illustrator, so while I was at it, I made up this little rhyme as well. It is a particularly silly rhyme, I realise, but it has made people smile.
Drawing inspired by this dude.
