Boiled Potatoes - Now in yellow pages!

When you run out of cartage and bond papers, you use whatever you find. That's how yellow map-litho came to play!

 I know that I haven't posted anything in a while but trust me, there has been nothing! But what I am gonna post this time is has a story.

 So we were asked to make a presentation on a social issue.The topic that my group took was ,'Violence Against Stray Animals'.

 I wanted to take a topic like female rights or poverty but I guess I was not supposed to take anything mainstream!

 So we started collecting data on this topic. While collecting data I came across this article that read,'Say NO to Kerala'. According to this article Kerala killed around 300 dogs each day for around 6 days! The purpose is to promote tourism. So if you go to Kerala for sightseeing, you will end up having the blood of many innocent stray dogs on your hands.

 There was this quote that I really Liked - 'They belong where they were born.'
You can't kill so many innocent animals to fill your pockets. There are laws against killing any stray animal in India. Nevertheless it is one inhuman thing.

After giving presentation on this topic, I just had to sketch some dogs. Here is one of them.

 This is it for now but ill keep more coming. Meanwhile if you want to support the dogs of Kerala, here's  a link - http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/boycott-kerala-tourism-to-save-animal-slaughter/

It is a petition against Kerala Tourism. Just sign the petition if you care for the innocent stray animals. It needs around 100,000 signatures to move to the court. So support the cause.

Insane Ecstacy

  Have you ever experienced that moment when you somersault and plunge into the air, do all the fun airborne acrobatics  and stuff? Well, I have(many times). But as a human, we can only feel it and there is no better way to describe it other than bringing it on the paper.

  Insane-obscene ecstasy faced by human counterparts.
Here are two of the sketches from the very same.




While making the male one I tried to portray might and power. That can be the possible reason why this one has  bold jagged graphite strokes.

   I have used the color green in the blog-spot logo for my blog which is out of the simple reason that I think the color green is the one that really defines my character. I wont really make any effort to explain my point of view on the very same because I think it is more or less better felt than explained to anyone. Other than that, now my blogspot fevicon is also green, hurray!

Women with fantastic fantasy hair!

Well, I've not been sketching much lately due to Arkham City and Assassins Creed :P .
But, at-least I've sketched something that i wanted to from a long time.I've been playing Arkham city for so long and I got too addicted to Catwoman's amazing character design.
That's when i thought of sketching some female figures. Here are two of those .



Yes, of course there is a lil problem with the lighting this time but what surprises me more is that I made such feminine women!

I kinda went through my blog and realized that I am a lil too brief about my descriptions. that's one reason I am gonna write a lil more this time.
My decision of starting off my blog was no more than random. That pretty much explains the random name ,'Boiled Potatoes' (only the sound of it, cause its really isn't!)

Boiled Potatoes is a crisp yet soft, smooth yet steamy  ongoing story about myself  and how I am trying to put forward some part of it on the internet and maybe somewhere in you too.

Hope this becomes a medium for me to reach out to everybody possible.

Hypercolours in Play

A recent watercolour work,' The Lady and The Omen'. Watercolours and photopen on paper.

Telling you the truth, this really didn't come out the way I expected it to be but I still like it. What do you think?
