Happiness is a stencil effect

I had to make someone pink, and Mr. Starr fit the bill :)

The travel bug! And Mr. Adams a.k.a. God

My first encounter with 'proper' watercolour paper (after using handmade papers of varying thickness all this time, watercolour paper is like rain in the desert) had to be turned into a sketchbook, and the good book made its first few pages useful to document my Pune-Bombay trip!

What an awesome four-day whirlwind of pubs and Maharashtrian street food (so muuuuuuuch pav!), all sponsored by the beloved Brother :) And having it culminate in the first live concert of my sorry life: BRYAN ADAMS. Un.f-ing.believable. Thought I'd died and gone to heaven :)

Note to self - pat on back for starting to tolerate flying...more travelling on the cards! :)

Illustration Friday: 'Layer'

No idea where this came from, but I think it has to do with me thinking about the 'layers' in rainbows, roses, and hair all at the same time. Made sense to put them together! Death is just the contrast, the inevitable foil :)

Illustration Friday: 'Sweater'

Not that these guys would need sweaters in the climes that they live in! But I thought it would be fun to see them in each other's skins hehe :)

I wish someone would knit me a zebra print sweater! :)

Illustration Friday: 'Reverse'

 

What if the paintings in galleries could break free of their canvasses and run riot on the walls?

A reverse situation that I would VERY much love to see :)

A Valentines's gift

For Sheethal and Rohit :)

Ilustration Friday: 'Surrender'

MACARONS!! I would surrender to them even if I was the cat in that window :) And to think I've not even tasted one yet...double sigh. But soon! :)

And here's the Laduree catalogue...just to fuel my macaron thirst :)

A hundred little balloons...

What a great location this would be to have a picnic :) And this tree actually exists. Sigh.

Illustration Friday: 'Chicken'

Does it show that ballet has been the only thing on my mind over the last week? :) This is what happens when you get blown away by Black Swan AND Tchaikovsky's music all at the same time! I'm currently obsessing over both, so what better way to illustrate 'Chicken' than a ballet theme :) If these girls were to prance on stage to Swan Lake, it would have to be called 'Hen Pond'. He he, bad joke. Enjoy the 'fowl' play :)

P.S. Drawing those skirts was the best fun I've ever had! :)

Illustration Friday: 'Deja Vu'

'Hey, didn't I just push you off the page?'

Deja vu...what goes around comes around :)
