Wild (And often, free)

"Ocean Heart" is an ode to this hauntingly beautiful parallel universe that happens to be here on Earth.

Around this time, last month, I along with two of my closest friends (and co-partners at Illustration Much) finally 

took a trip we had been planning for almost a year.

We traveled to Sri Lanka, a beautiful island I had heard so much about but evidently knew nothing about.

Little did I know I'd come back changed, moved and ready for more change. The people, the art, the beauty.

We rode through the busy streets of Colombo -

 

Mapped our way to Hatton on a long train ride -

And then we did for a countless number of Sri Lankans do, atleast 4-5 times in their life; We climbed Adam's Peak!

We then ventured down South to Galle. If you're an artist, Galle is a dream.

Our last stop was the land of blue oceans, sea creatures and "Ocean Heart," Hikkaduwa.

    

We went snorkeling and the experience was life changing. We swam in deep blue oceans with turtles, fish, coral and all sorts of wonderful creatures. "Ocean Heart" is an ode to this hauntingly beautiful parallel universe that happens to be here on Earth. Where all you can hear is the course of your breathing, and time stands still.

As more chapters open and sadly some close, beauty always remains enduring.

Have a lovely week :)

Burst

Last week I wrote a post about imagination and making dreams come true.

This week I've finally realised that dreams and imagination are a result of initiation. Everything has moved in such an amazingly fast and lovely pace that I cant help but wonder where I started and began. I also can't help but think :

I have finally found a "A quote," that's beginning to reveal itself in most areas of my life, courtesy The Beatles :

"The love you take is equal to the love you make"

                                         

This has all coincided with the creation of "Illustration Much," an illustration studio of sorts started by four os us - Me and three of my closest friends from college.

We launched Illustration Much at Kitsch Mandi this weekend - It's a popular flea market in my lovely home city of Bangalore. The responses and the love we received was immense! And we're so happy to continue putting out more work in the future.

Secrets, flowers and wood

                                         
                                                 My tribute to fashion, glamour and all things creative.
                                                  Thought it was about time to do something different.
                                                  And because I adore seeing my work as a snapshot :

                         

            Have a creative day :)

Faded

Sometimes getting caught up in a regular life makes you forget the beauty of what you're doing and why you're doing it.Worrying about money and time is an every day thing occurrence in my life, and then I update my blog and I've realised that the beauty of what really matters has certainly faded away.

                             

                             

Must note, every day - The beauty of art and people.And maybe the beauty of things I don't like very much!

Share.Inspire.

Hitched

Just graduated college!

And the little guy up there is one of the results of my four years at The Symbiosis Institute of Design!

He's a part of a huge collection of characters :

"Circus People", an illustrative theme based font

Each alphabet is based on a character from the circus!

And there are numbers too!

And it's a book as well!!

(That I hope to get published someday)

It's wonderful time, Im extremely happy to be doing what I'm doing.Lucky as well :)

Happy May everyone!!

Sometimes if it's louder it's better

Almost away

Goa 2011!

My new years resolution - Alot more trips in 2012

Love is two feet tall

Change

Being somewhere new is scary.

Not knowing what's next is even scarier.

I always wait for the best part!

The God of Small Things

Just thinking.

I put this together as a comic strip but it didn't seem to fit blogger-ism.

The Face of Change(As a possibility)..

Holds you
Excites you
Saddens you
Makes you scream

Seeing

The truth is-We don't beleive it until we see it.
Our mistakes.Our choices.

I'm at an odd place in my life.I'm almost 19,on the verge of escaping, only to travel far away or stay close but be somewhere different.

I'm scared.Not confused.Hopeful.I'm an expert at organizing this life and suddenly i can't.
I know there's somewhere and someone I'll get to be.

Sea Dust(PART BLUE)

I figured it out.

Some photoshop technicalities.Silly me.

And this is the blue version.

A product of the sniffles and my increasing trust of Adobe Illustrator!
