Those Beautiful People

So, back in Feb, I had an extremely short, but equally amazing trip to Kerala. It was basically the first time I was visiting my hometown since I was five months old, but that doesn't really count, does it?
Now, I didn't really visit any tourist hot-spot, but the cozy town of Palakkad was just as breathtaking as poets described the whole of Kerala to be.

And I cannot even begin to describe the people there. Their faces are etched with lines and colours that tell the stories of their past. Their eyes reflect so much emotion that you cannot help being moved by them, and their gestures are so graceful that you'll never know when you gave them all your attention in exchange for a few memories.

If you ever get a chance to visit Kerala, take it without a second thought. And smile at the people when they look at you. You're guaranteed to get the warmest welcome there, no matter how weird you are. :)

Happiness?

Maybe I should be realistic. I'm not sure i can stick to Project 365 right now. Amidst course work and a bit of freelancing, I'm pretty much left with too little time, especially since I start projects that take a lot of time to complete. So here's what I'm doing. I'm posting something as often as I can. I don't want to lose this personal flow Project 365 gave me, but I guess neglecting the system isn't the best answer. So, no more numbers. Just work done peacefully and happily. :)


Speaking of happiness, here's my illustration for the Beatles' song, Happiness is a Warm Gun.

Medium - Ballpoint pen, 0.7mm

Yes, I know people interpret this song as violence, sex or drugs. But for me, this line meant only one thing. Putting and end to all of it. A warm gun that just shot through your head. Eternal peace. What else can make you truly happy? 

Day 3 : A very late Woodstock

Yes, I know I'm way past my deadline, and that this post was long overdue. But this is what happens when you set such huge expectations without knowing how to plan and manage your time. 
But in the last 3 days I've learnt huge lessons in those. I swear I will work harder, and try sticking to deadlines. And I'll also post new work. Unlike this post.
I'd made this short animated clip on Aftereffects for my course last semester. It is an animated video clip/commercial for Woodstock '69.

Day 2 : Golden Slumbers, Loni Morning

Loni can look really pretty sometimes.

365 + Damien Rice

Happy New Year! ! 
So I've decided to finally find a way to be and stay motivated. And I'm doing the 365 Project. Basically what I've to do, is make something, anything, everyday, and upload it. And I don't mean commercial projects. Just a photograph, or an illustration, or anything I feel like. Everyday. So here goes. Day 1!!  :)
(PS. Okay, I'm a little late. Deal with it.)


This is my illustration for The Blower's Daughter by Damien Rice.

Medium - Ink, 0.5 mm

For those who haven't heard of Damien Rice yet, you really should. He's fucking brilliant. :)
