Strokes and Words

Some people express by words , some by action , some by music and a few by arts . Words are the most convenient form of expression . Its easy but limited . In a world filled with a  myriad of emotions and meanings , to express verbally is as tough as making a salad with just one fruit or making a cocktail with only one drink . When we are lost in the musing of our perplexed mind , is it words that's rambling or just thoughts that is yearning to be identified as a word . To express the thought with resolute authenticity is to kill the structure of the language . But thats not the case with arts . An abstract art contains copious amount of thoughts poured on to a canvas . To translate that in to words would take up to millions of them , mostly repetitive and would only produce a pulp of the expression . So indigenous is art , hence requires no grammar or structure . Each one has its own style to stroke emotions . Art is an effortless way to convey deep and complex thoughts , that c...

Portrait of Ramana Maharishi

I  admire palette knife painting, especially ones with blocky strokes . I didn't have any conscious intention to make one . But after doing this portrait in Artrage(iPad) , I have gained quite an amount confidence to attempt palette knife painting in the future . Ramana Maharshi   (1879–1950) is widely acknowledged as one of the outstanding Indian gurus  of modern times. Ramana's teachings on Self-enquiry originated in his own awakening at age 16, when he became firmly aware of death.

Using Adobe Ideas fro the iPad

Its a cool app . Its the most robust among all other drawing apps . Its pretty smooth , perfect set of tools for illustrating . Was fun working .

Illustration of Charlie Kaufman

This one's done in the iPad using "Adobe Ideas" . Usually Illustrations don't involve shadows , i just wanted to have some depth ,so I threw some shadows .I didn't want it to bother the existing lines , so used red instead of black .They are parts of the same painting but yet different .Part of the whole and whole of the part , Synecdoche!!! I recently watched "Adaptation" . Immediately I wanted to watch "Synecdoche , New York " , and I did . The guy is a fucking genius . He is so sincere to film-making and writing . Another great script from this guy is "Eternal Sunshine of the spotless Mind " Directed by Michel Gondry , one of my favorite movies . I like the way he reflects his thoughts over his script . And all the absurdity and illusions created on screen just like the way it happens in one's mind . Uncompromising and authentic work of art delivered directly from his mind . Do check out the video below .
