IF: Stir

Who says witches have to be evil?
Maybe she's cooking up some mischief and stirring it with her spirit and smiles!

TDAC: Recipes by Artists

Finally got around to doing a recipe for the fantastically innovative website http://www.theydrawandcook.com/, but my scanner didn't do the job - so although it's been posted in the 'recently added' section, I will do another one with figs for the 'Year of the Fig' contest.... Hope you like the Fruiti-licious recipe! It's a popular way to eat a zesty fruit snack in India!

IF: Swarm

When I first saw King Kong, I was so amazed by the character of Kong... how fantastical he seemed and yet I was able to get all emotional about this scene! It's a great cautionary tale of humans taking over nature and how it ends up blowing up in our faces!
 Although my versions of iPad sketches are improving, neatness is still an issue! I swear one day I will be great at using the Sketchbook Pro app.... if anything, it's great practice to eventually work on a wacom! I do want to try with a finer tip stylus... any tips & recommendations are welcome from all those digitally-capable artists out there!

IF: Layer

What is a Sari but just layers of cloth...

As a proud Indian woman, I cannot help but feel graceful whenever I don a Sari. Sure it's not the most comfortable for us modern women of the jeans-wearing persuasion, but you certainly feel a certain grace and elegance being swathed in all that luscious fabric!

IF: Sweater & Reverse

A little late this week with my IF entries.... been trying to set up my own work space and getting acquainted with my drawing table.... coming along slowly but surely.


 I think an elephant in a sweater-vest can do just about anything!!!


Irreversible!

IF: Surrender

Took down the previous post, as it was awful! Here is one I did back in Design School - called "Casanova" - question is are they surrendering to him or the other way around?!

IF: Dusty

For this week's IF challenge, I thought of the Slim Dusty, a well known Aussie country music singer, whose first big hit was called "Pub With No Beer" - which is exactly what they have left in the flood-ravaged state of Queensland in Australia! It's a long bough, but go with the flow (if the Aussies can, you can)! As funny as this sketch may seem, many  around the world have lost their homes and their livelihoods to floods and droughts. This is dedicated to those who bear this loss.


Point to note, Aussies have just come out of a long drought and now have lost crops/property to floods.... anyone think this might have something to do with global warming?
