spooky nights!

I've been getting strange dreams for a few days in a row now! And what better than to put up a post on Halloween!

I know it isn't a big thing here except for the parties which happen where everyone dresses up like a well oiled black cat with a lot of bling :) I've read a lot about this whole pumpkin craze and have always wanted to carve my own pumpkin. As a kid i used to always be on the lookout for a huge orange vegetable to carve on and as soon as i'd find a vegetable vendor, he'd have already cut the not so orange pumpkin into slices. I doubt anybody would appreciate eating pumpkin pulp for a week at my place anyway so it's good i didn't get my hands on one. The thing which used to fascinate me the most was this whole 'trick-or-treat' business. Candy is my biggest weakness and i'd do anything to dress up and get candy for being a cute ghost or something!

Anyway!
Random doodles in the good spirit of this curious holiday!

Thanks for looking!

pumpkin flavoured cupcakes would be strange

my cat fascination kicks in!

small small...

Just a post jury update of some digital and sketchy stuff. My eye infection seems to have subsided , and with that i've learnt to put eye-drops by myself as well. It's so much easier when someone is putting it for you, such small luxuries are always easily overlooked.Hence the saying 'you don't know what you've gotten until it's gone' holds so true.

2009, NID cats love sleeping and i love them so, even if they scratch me or go bipolar on me!

Summer sets in so quickly in Ahmedabad,before my jury 2009

The NID design fest poster which i made
with typography very patiently added
 by my Graphic Design Junior Pragun Agarwal.
 Many many thanks to him.

Winter is my favourite time of the year!

Here's a song which i've always enjoyed, and probably goes with the mood i'm in right now as well.

sigh...

My jury has gotten postponed and the lineup for presentations has changed as well! And as luck has it, i have come down with an eye infection, something which goes by the name 'allergic conjunctivitis'. I can barely keep my eyes open when i'm travelling , and i feel this constant prickling sensation in my eyes.

At the moment i look super sick and i feel like pulling my eye out. But i'm glad that my jury will get over tomorrow and i can finally start working on animating my classroom project!
I feel like putting an eye patch and going for my jury tomorrow :D

Cup O'Doodle 2

Celebrating louwe :3

In February 2012 i decided that i wanted to do something really really awesome for my valentine. I had done some bookbinding and made a sketchbook for his birthday in 2011 but it never saw the light of day because i chickened out when it came down to making a final sketchbook cover for it.

So there i was staring at the naked sketchbook and i decided that i MUST make something for a cover page and surprise Parth as well as give him a very good reason to start sketching regularly again.

Here's my final book cover which i got printed from the  I.T. centre. The book had to be left alone pressed by a very heavy weight for a day before i could wrap it further with some clear plastic so that the print doesn't get ruined.

That evening we ate food at a Lebanese restaurant here in Ahmedabad called 'Souq' enjoyed some good hummus and pita bread :)

Thanks for looking!

don't click on me, i'm a CMYK print and i drastically change colours when previewed   

Birthday!

To my very dear friend Srija, hope you have a lovely birthday! I'm a day late, so sorry for that.
Cheers to our lovely escapades in school and i hope that you always stay the same crazy person that you have been for the years i've known you. Many happy returns of the day!

Cup O'Doodle

I came across a wonderful blog  http://cupodoodle.blogspot.in/ and they seem to have a weekly ritual where a few doodly lines are handed over for artists to interpret in anywhich way they want to. So here's my first go at it.

Thanks for looking!
