Impressions from Image & Word Workshop on Storytelling
Attempt at comic illustrations, in a workshop conducted by Parismita Singh at #Image&Word
The brief was to make an illustration based on any of one’s experiences that morning keeping oneself as the protagonist.
The most interesting thing that I experienced that morning was the workshop session itself so I drew myself in the centre of my comic-strip-attempt as a listener and observer and showed Parismita, who conducted the workshop, metaphorically as an upside down woman. The storyline illustrated some key points/ impressions of the workshop in an abstract manner.
That’s how I’m spending this weekend! At Image & Word Workshop :)

Found these cute little things at the blind school three years ago. Had sneakily clicked them because I wanted to create them on my own but completely forgot about these pics.
#DIY
Installation created to depict the theme: ‘Exhilaration’ during foundation program as part of my Integrated Term Project. It’s a working model on a cylindrical wooden base, which contains an exhaust. The mid and the top section are made of two concentric acrylic cylinders and a light source at the intersection. When it’s switched on, the exhaust throws air on the streamers on the top creating a lot of movement in them which shows on the ceiling along with colorful lights being reflected on it.
This was designed as a decorative installation for semi enclosed seating areas in theme parks as a hypothetical project.
Wish I had better pics..

What’s more important in life than being yourself (and loving who you are)? Most of us really do end up living someone else’s life. And we dismiss happiness as a result. Fulfillment comes from living your truth. Doing your values. Pursuing your desires and ideals. “To thine own self be true,” wrote that British sage, Shakespeare. No point in getting to the end and realizing you never let the real you come out to play. An excellent life grows out of an authentic one. Truly.

Mommy shared this with me today! Profound words…
An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment.
A tendency to think and act spontanoously,rather than on fears based on past experiences.
A loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others and judging other people.
A loss of interest in conflict.
A loss of ability to worry.
Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation.
Contented feelings of connectedness with others and nature.
Frequent attacks of smiling.
An increased susceptibility to the love extended by others,
As well as the uncontrollable urge to extend it.
Inner peace is contageous……
Pass it on!
Don’t leave art to languish on the walls. Wrap yourself, festoon, engulf and adorn yourself. Glory in texture, colour and spectacle. Erupt into the world: brash, glittering, bejewelled, and multicoloured. Dare to be a graffito, a collage, an assemblage. Burst into art, and you will change your world forever.

While the wedding season is ending for most people, it is just beginning for me. Two of my favourite girls (best friend and cousin sister) are getting hitched soon.
I have been hopelessly doing rounds of all possible boutiques in the city since a week. Spent the day in Chandni Chowk looking for some nice clothes to wear but in vain. After hours of seeing me reject every garment, my mom dragged me to kinaari bazaar and asked me to pick up some borders and laces and get my garment stitched. So, I got excited and picked up these! I came home and finalized the color scheme and sketched out the design! Now its time to rush these pretty things to the tailor!
A visit to kinaari bazaar also meant, hogging on some scrumptious paranthas in the famous paranthe waali galli! Everyone must try the tangy raddish pickle served alongside and ask for more helpings! Each mouthful is incomplete without it! Totally made up for the stress I had throughout the day!
The day wasn’t spent in vain after all!

I was going through an interview of digital artist Archan Nair on Abduzeedo.
Here’s an interesting question & answer from the interview:
Abduzeedo: Tell us five lessons you believe are really important
Archan Nair:
- I feel its important to really seek , admire and manifest your own reality. If you love doing something, you must do it without fear and go all out and do it all the time
- Contribute to the planet, by sharing and loving every living element , everything around you, because of which you are in such a beautiful space.
- Be original and do your own style, as that will make you unique and that is how you will find your true calling
- Working on your skills or technique is important, but not everything! Try to pour more love into your work than just focus on the skill part.
- Realizing how gifted we all our in our own special way and really using those gifts in society.

Hey Yes I am still struggling! I just started and I dont have the software so I am trying to practice it on the online version. The interface online is very different from the one used in tutorials–version 2009. But the tutorials are very helpful and easy to understand. You should check them out.
Trying to teach myself AUTOCAD. Lynda’s Tutorials FTW!
Jetsons versus Flintstones– I am all for Flintstones! Lost technologies from the past…

There’s something about this video which makes me want to be a kid from the 1950s. The packaging graphics are adorable. The handmade illustrations add so much more value to the box. They remind me of the simplicity of childhood. As the world moves towards The Jetsons’ age, these incredible technologies of the past remain forgotten.
The design of this view master reminds me of superhero goggles which emit superpowers like X-rays and laser beams and freeze beams!
It was so nice to have levers and keys in toys, when we were small. What a sweet touchpad-free world it was!
While everyone strives to incorporate the whole world into one pocket device, I think my heart remains nostalgic for the past and the way things worked back then. I remember buying a plastic version of these viewmasters from India Gate toy vendors. It was one of the most fascinating experiences for me as a kid. The fact that these toys allowed you to dismantle them and figure out how they worked, made them friendlier. Simple physics– so important for self learning.
Today’s technology- gameboys and playstations give you a virtual control over things but remain so unfriendly and out of reach. Who would dare to dismantle their playstation to figure out how it works.
This viewmaster says so much about the evolution and origin of slideshows and motion pictures and bioscope. So much history in one tiny box.
Hmph. Why can’t we be like the Flintstones!
