Treatment......

Similar matchbox model that i had done for my earlier film...... was thinking of a treatment like this.....

Frozen Stickies!

Some explorations for refrigerator stickers.

Old book..... New illustrations!

A few pages from the latest book that i illustrated..... Oscar Wilde's, The Selfish Giant. Couple of sleepless nights, but it was good fun!

Was hibernating.... like a bear!!

A few pages from the earlier book that I had illustrated. Fun part of the whole deal is that these books can be personalized! Check more here: http://keenowl.com/

Okay! Style's fixed!

Client likes this..... so do I...... but I know it's going to take a hell lot of time! (given that I'm so lazy usually and was thinking of taking it easy before joining new job in a few days!) Drat!!.........

Same thing... different approach!

I'm still trying to fix on a style for the book. This one is a bit too radical for a children's book.... but may be that's why I like it! : )

After a long break....

Dummy cover for a book that I'm illustrating presently.

Monsters!

I had fun designing these cute monsters. These were for another Sesame Street film...... it was one of my friends' concept. The cuties were animated in Flash....... it was tough, time taking....... but nonetheless damn good fun!

I like tigers too!

Last year I worked as a senior animator for Sesame Street India and was part of some really fun films where i could experiment as much in terms of medium. For one such film I came up with this idea of making characters out of matchboxes and backdrop using corrugated sheets.... and luckily my team members didn't think it as a bad idea at all! They helped me make all these characters. And i smoked a lot more then!! : ) ...... Some frames from the film.

An idle mind is the devil's workshop!

I was getting pretty bored last night.... so decided to have some Photoshop fun with an old sketch! This came out as the result, and if anyone gets offended by this, please refer to the title; I'm not to be blamed..... it's the devil's handiwork!

Too much of reading!

One of my good friends from Design school is an ardent reader. He pursued product design, but read more books on film than books on his chosen discipline! I have a feeling he'll end up making films later in his life rather than making what he's supposed to make!

Work from last year.......

A Cowboy Hand, a bit of Kite Flying n some mundane Painting Class!!

Some Freestyle to chew on......

I have been extremely busy with the illustration project to post anything new so far....... so thought i'll do some of my own freestyling in Photoshop on one of the many frames for the Levi's storyboard, just to take a 20 min break from the hectic schedule!..... Chew on it till i come back! : )

Storyboarding...

One page from the Levi's ad that i'm storyboarding right now........

Some colour......

One coloured page from the illustration project....... it's still a work in progress..... needs a lot of fine tuning to call it a finished piece!

I have been busy..... in my new house!

Had designed this kid for a website.






One of the pages from the book that I'm illustrating....... will post some coloured ones when I'm done!

Brother bear!

Few treatment options for the book illustration that i'm doing.

Song for the day!

Was listening to Kings of Convenience's 'I'd Rather Dance With You' and the lyrics seemed so familiar and nice that i had to make this!

Bear up!

Was trying to simulate pastels in Photoshop.

Waiting for a miracle!!

Sunday timepass!!

Hollywood calling!

Did these when i was getting bored at home last year....... will colour them when m in the mood!

Another test image........ water colour sure is tough, but it gets better with practice! That means i need to start practising! ;p

One of the tests that i did for an illustration project.
