Worked with love....

Just back from the daily bread & butter mode. So updating the blog, and these paintings are done with least research. Least thought. I was short of deadline. But it was great exprience.

The Holi Krishna & The Indian Mela.

Recent Commissioned work done for the existing client. One painting speaks about the joy in Holi, Krishna playing holi with Radha and gopikas. Other painting is about mela, the Indian Mela. Acrylic on Canvas

Angry young Man.

The Cult of 80s. I have grown up watching his movies. Still the angry young man of many.

In love with Colors and dreams.

Interpretation of dreams, mainly with paints result in such work. I resort to realism with my own love towards colors.

Lord Krishna

Lord of love - The Krishna

Facebook Page Launched.

I was working for a long time on other graphic design stuff to feed myself. I was not getting time to do a big painting nor a theme coming into my head. Meanwhile, I was pretty successful to launch my facebook page

It was a collection of my rough sketches, watercolor experiments and digital drawings. I hope I can do both justice to both my blog and facebook page. I will get a great support from my father to keep the blog alive. Cheers.

New creations.!

These are the  which are done in acrylic in quick succession.

"Krishna-leela" The playful Lord!

I was doing this painting for quiet a while.. it took some extra time. Acrylic on Canvas. The thought process for this painting was started long back. It came on paper then and finally I projected it to the canvas.

Digital painting... Quick photoshop

I am in love with Photoshop brushes again. I don't know why I started to paint again in photoshop... but this time I started liking it.

Lord Krishna

Lord Krishna is always my inspiration. He is a friend, guide, mentor. This creation is in Oil.. and took around 2 months to finish.

Sketches

For sometime I have been thinking about putting a new sketch. My love for cricket still exist. With the second season of IPL, I would love to see some action. Raw Action to sketch.

Advance Holi Greetings

Holi is a colorful indian Festival.. which falls on March. It is a cover design for a children's magazine. It's a Flash illustration.. and it took me a day

The Lord

My recent visit to Varanasi inspired me to work on Lord Krishna, who has been my inspiration during my tough times of life. I read Bhagwadgita, when I was 14. Every time I read, I get a new perspective about life and myself.

Concern for Environment

Illustration says it all, we are growing rapidly in all avenues. But it seems we are not bothered at what cost. We fail to protect our environment, hence the result is global warming, frequent weather changes etc.

Cover Title

Balbharati, one of the popular children's magazine in India. I am associated with them for a quiet a long time, and .. this is my latest take.

First Take

I came across a wonderful painting software, Corel Painter. I am amazed and inspired by the work of Tod Harris and his approach for painter. I found the software quite user friendly for artist. It has amazing brush collection and a wonderful palette to mix colors. I haven't done anything realistic, but this is my take on corel.

Global Warming

We are responsible for it. We are answerable to the coming generation.

Knife Work

Recent Artwork for a book cover. 'Nirmala' a famous novel from Munshi Premchand. It was not my first experiment with knife painting in poster color... but it has come good after few initial sketches.

Some more sketches..

Few more takes on sports illustration

Cover pages

These are some book covers, done in poster color. Few are on pipeline.. but finished these drawings, about these inspiring leaders. I find it quite easy to work in poster color since I am working in this medium for quite a long time. This is also my father's favorite medium.
