Where my feet have been

I was looking through some photos, and realized I have taken photos of my feet, for some reason.


On the beach

In a courtyard, in a village
in the sea


under a tree

Maybe I should start looking up for some time??

House for tall people

I am a petite person, who comes from a family of similarly small-stature people. I recently was visiting a friend who is quite tall, and noticed that everything seemed to be outside my reach!

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 :)

Umbrella

Doodling something the other day. This was a rough draft for a 'contact-us' page for our team newsletter. The words you see are the some of the services we are trying to promote.
Too many services, not enough umbrellas

I wanted to create a textured feel to the umbrellas, I used a crumpled up newspaper to make the paint daubs.

Fashion Tips from Ramayana

There was this one day we found a discarded earring on the stairs near my office canteen.  And ensued the following conversation.



The style is bit different from how I normally draw.. Easier to render, focuses more on the content. Thoughts?
