Ink–Play

Its purely magical when paper and ink come together. I simply loves doodling on different papers with inks... sub-consciously it starts with alphabets ONLY. Don't know why ;) This is another gem of paper (it has blotting paper feel) did wonders with my lamy pen. See—

Sometimes, I just don't want to lift the pen...

Sometimes, even I want to dance with a joy...

Sketches

I am back to my sketchbook—actually loose sheets of paper found while organizing my studio. There is something unique of these stale, old, damp papers. Inks get really excited when they meet their lost old friends. Nevertheless it always works for me. Will try to make them meet more often. Enjoy!

Find out the artist' name which I did show with:

Did this sketch in the train after field visit in Sitla (Kumaon, Uttaranchal, India).

Quotes from the upcoming book on Bhagvad Gita (which I did cover)

Conversation with Passengers

Recently I went to Palampur and Andretta by train. I love train journeys. Its fascinating to just watch and hear people around you. I am the last one to initiate the conversation though I enjoy what they discuss, tell, crib about...publicly ;)

Corners of sketchbook

Ink flows and...

Micro Experiments!

Letters look beautiful in any angle & dimension. Here are some of the micro views of few alphabets. It could be nice sets of paintings on wall.

Close ups of AB and C.

Enlarged micro views: ink and textures!

TYPOQUOTES!

Hellos! Sorry for not updating the blog for a while, tied up with some work and new settled life :)
But now onwards; will be regular with more interesting stuff...Promise!!





Pilot pen with black ink on Junk, Raddi papers

Meaningful Meaningless!

Sometimes, something comes out really interesting when you work without any context, meanings, ...briefs! See, what I have found again! These 'randoms' were made during our lectures, while thinking in library, while sketching for project but ended up doing something like these:

Ink bottle cap's hairdo

I love cartridge paper, more older the best result!

PS: Don't even bother to read what its written :)

Cloth Letters

I was cleaning my cupboard and found pile of art card glossy sheets. Bit damped, yellowed A2/A1 big sheets were peeping from folder & telling me 'use-us-now-LAZY!!
Here I used a cloth (cotton gamcha kind of rag which is rough in nature) as brush and quite happy with its unexpected awesome results.

A to Z family! Can become a font...

'd' stroke; how each letter ends!

Liked the thickness & texture it creates.

Stunning blot at the end of 'w'

...and that's the 'brush'

Its quite amazing to see the play between 2 different materials where one is rough but flexible and second is smooth & glossy.
Its like ice skate dancing! It will be cool to make them moving.
