I'm mostly lazy, I confess.

Another year in college. I'm happy when I'm making things. Here are some that I have digital files for.

Postscript, the annual journal for the English Literary Society, St. Stephen's College.

IF: Midsummer's Night


This is cheating a bit because I drew this 2 years back. But it didn't feature on my blog and it fits so well with this week's theme, so here's Lady Midnight stitching stars on a midsummer's night.

Summer Holidays= a good time to revive IF-ing!

I feel bad about not doing almost a year's worth of IF. Sigh. I hope to launch the good old habit again with this week's theme.

IF: Launch


Sinohi decided that it was good time to launch her career in the rocket-business.

this year(I mean academic college year, I'm no time-traveller) ran like a rabbit on roller skates

and here's my little 'miscellaneous' works, college creativity, shall we say:

First up, my first logo-design which now is the official logo (shiny sparks) of the Shakespeare Society's annual one-act play competition, the Rajpal Memorial:




While I'm at it, I designed the poster (and had much fun backstage) for the Shakespeare Society's annual production, Othello. The poster has three versions:

1. I call this the pull the strings version:


2. and this the bad anime version

3. and I don't call this anything, it's the official poster-cum-brochure-cover version


note: the Othello-Desdemona-Iago of 1 & 2 are all paper cut-outs



and then another logo for the English Literary Society's annual fest LOGOS:


this year's theme: Literature and the Body, hence the open book, the torso emerging from it which transforms into the nib of a pen writing the book.

I might as well put up the stuff drawn for blogs:
1.my illustration of The Thought Fox by Ted Hughes (for the English Literary Society's blog)

2. follow me!
3. and the header for a blog which a few of us have just begun (click picture, go visit!)


and this was a little musical endeavour:


So it's been quite an interesting First Year... of posters and logos and elephants and all, so here's looking at a more-creative second year:

(and this was random)

the night did not call out you. why did you go then Porphyria?

For Browning...




She left the light and
warmth of home...the clouds threatned...the wind tried to pull her back...there were stones in her path...the moon tried to warn her...the candle would soon go out too...but Porphyria...why did you go outdooors that night?

IF: Caged


Caged

Miss Rosenoir is all impressed about her exotic bird collection. But little does she realize that her cold heart is more caged than theirs...


(tried out a new style this time...and it's a photograph of my work, hence the whitenesss of the flash...scanner out of reach for the time being...)

I'm back ... and school's over by the way

So I'd been busy studying all through December to March (and it did pay off; allow me to boast...I scored a whooping 95.5% in finals), lazied around all April and busy applying for colleges now in May....

School days are over and this is uncanny for me. Things have to move on, they say...


And it got me thinking... about

moving on,
change,
cycles
....and I feel this to be the perfect time to post a series I did last year.

Seasons



Spring
although pretty short-lived here in India and connected to final exams through all 13 years of school, I love the season...


Summer
In India it'd be a crime to compare your lover (or you enemy for that matter) to a summer's day... therefore, to personify summer I chose a generalized, universal, Shakespearean summer.

Monsoons


Monsoons mean a lot to me...somehow raindrops, gray clouds always go with memories and nostalgia....

IF: Blur

IF: Blur

Pim saw everything in a blur after the Ferris wheel and roller-coaster rides at the fair.

I tried out this new whimsical brush strokes, but i guess it turned out to be messy. Looks like my drawing itself is a blur!!!

Flying


IF: Flying

On a hot day(and I mean 38 degrees Celsius) a lick of my favourite orange ice-lolly just sends me flying off the ground.

Funny thing, last week I had even commented to my mum that "This is like flying... so refreshing" while having a lolly!!

So for me, this seemed the immediate response to this week's prompt.

Pattern IF


Pattern IF

With Pattern, two things immediately came to mind: animal pattern in nature and nursery cra
ft classes... the result: a lady's finger print pattern peacock.


Peacocks are amazing and the flowery pattern of lady's finger seemed right to go with the feathers. For the background sky, I used a piece of sponge...
