It rained!

Hello, here is a drawing of spinning tops.

Hi, here are some photos from a couple of days (a month) back. It was a calming day at home, I was leaning in balcony and walking around the house. Just a reminder to sweaty self that rain ≠ humidity always.

After drawing about several thousands of leaves at Smokehouse Deli walls (Khan Market and Hauz Khas) I remember saying to Kriti how tired I am of drawing leaves now. But that's not true, I can't and won't stop drawing plants and trees. Its a great invisible joy to be in their company at work/home and being surrounded by nature lovers and plant keepers/farmers in family and friends. Here is one from last Saturday at my Nani's.

I have been working with Kriti Monga, super-fantastic graphic designer/illustrator and a wonderful person (and amazing letterer!) who runs Turmeric Design where I am about to complete an year after ending college last year. I hope tiny bits of her energy and enthusiasm rub off on me. I have learned a lot in the past year, got to work on many great projects and met/worked with some very nice people.

The sketchbook in which I painting this in was handbound (and blockprinted cover) by Fab, my chief influence/best friend/collaborator/maker of awesome functional things of beauty, back in 2011 for my birthday. It's gorgeous, from surface to binding to paper and print.

I must admit I have drawn rather little in it, reserving it for occasions when something takes over my senses completely, though it travels in my bag in a protective box just so the occasion strikes.

Posting fifteen months later... I have graduated meanwhile. I have also been kept by self imposed pressure of perfection which i am absolutely dropping right now.

 I'll be posting recent and old drawings/photos/things-made AND updates about ongoing awesome projects!

An illustration I did for an article in August. Few weeks back I watched "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas" and it reminded me of how I felt when this was in process.

Moar Red. And not fearful anymore.

I haven't been able to remember the settings i use for posts with text, what type, colour and size i chose last time. kind of happy about it.
