For the human race food is - everyone else.

I Am


Are you?

Are you in the wave?

Google Wave released a few weeks ago and there was a huge wave of raving that followed. People around me are still pretty ignorant about it so even though I followed all the rules of the google raving I didn't quite get an equal reaction from my mates. I'm guessing I may have to just wait it out until the people around me wake up and are swept away by the wave.

(Secretly, I am still in the wave and waiting for my invite meanwhile their very loooooong video loads.)

7 pm not 7 am.
Yes, sleepng routine has been reversed.
Body clock needs new batteries.

I've had a long running argument in my head about illustration vs. photography. One captures reality and the other captures imagination. Which one is needed more in the society? Shall we tell people what the reality is or delude them?

The problem with a human is that he thinks he is unique, different from every other human and is so full of himself  that he is ignorant of the fact that every other human can also think as much as he does and that every other human also has emotions as real as his own.

The last frame is the final layout. The final photo shoot with proper lighting and digital touch ups are left. :D

Shifted workspace home because work was turning out unproductive at college

Hello again, old friend

It was wonderful surprise to walk into you yesterday on my way home. It has been so very long since our last conversation. You know, before I met you yesterday I had been thinking about you. I strangely find a need to go back all my old friends lately. It has been like a wavelength and now I'm coming back down to the ground. To the root where it all began - my love for this world. The world of wonderful and fascinating things. A world of color and people. I once again find a need to be with you, friend. To sit with you while we look at the world with innocent colored vision. Looking for meaning in each and everything and trying hard then to depict it in brush strokes. You and me. 

Canvas, my friend, I'm thrilled to travel the world with you again! Welcome back.

COMICS 1 -

Research:

That's what I'm working on right now - understanding comics and applying that to a story. This is one of the semester 7 projects and I am so glad I chose comics! I have hardly read too many comics compared to people who create comics but I was lucky enough find Scott McCloud's Ted Talk while I was looking up about comics in the first week of the project.

I also went through bookstore shelves that were packed with Marvel and DC comics. It would sound strange but I just couldn't handle reading them. From the time when I was young, the super hero comics were something I didn't like. I don't know what exactly it is about them but it is probably something around the lines of too much 'action to action' frames and rich dark colors. I thoroughly enjoy Calvin & Hobbes, Tintin and similar comics. I think I feel at home with the subtle color scheme and simplicity of the whole story as well as the 'look' of the story.

Besides Popular Super Hero comics there are many other Graphic Novels, such as, Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis, Craig Thompson's Blankets etc.
