I've used the 4th complex as in 'Art Nouveau Design 1'. Rotated & scaled the arrangement a bit.

Recently bought a book called 'Art Nouveau' by Lara-Vinca Masini. Art Nouveau is one my favourite forms of art. After a lot of weird dreams induced by this book, I decided to take a crack at it. A bit of fooling around & there you have it!

The 1st complex created by the motif reminds me of chitinous wings of a fly. By that logic:

* Fly + Fly = Moth (The 2nd complex)

* Moth + Moth = 2 Moths Plotting World Domination (The 3rd complex)

* (2 Moths Plotting World Domination)+ (2 Moths Plotting World Domination) = 2 Moths Plotting World Domination, squashed by a Maltese Cross (The 4th complex, by now a horrible mess)

Aashiq thought that the deisgn on the fly's wings resembled a man in the padmasana pose.

Migrane a.k.a 'The Migrane Caused by Unidentified Flying Objects of the Stainless Steel Kind'. This picture coupled with a lot of Morgan Freeman movies went on to inspire an idea for a horror story. Unfortunately the story died a premature death. Ink on assignment paper.

The shcokwave effect was an accident. I was trying to draw human figures in various poses in under 10 seconds time for practise. Erased a particular pose's limbs & left the torso & head (which latter beacame the butterfly's body). Added in wings. Spongings & smearings later Voila!

Self Portrait

Self Portrait 


Ocassionally I go nuts & do a self portrait. Besides, if any of my stuff has got a beard you could definitely conclude that I'm indulging in narcissism. This was done about the same time as 'Insulated' using MS Paint.

This image was inspired by insulated copper wires & an emotional low. A bit cartoony.

This picture started of as a doodle on Corel Photo-Paint 11, while I was talking to Aashiq, online. Initially I used some blues & purples. Then I flood filled it with a dark green accidentally & started spraying in The Yellow regions on a whim. An hours job later I got something called 'Dejection'. You might wan't to click on the pic to enlarge it.

Remember playing Hide n' Seek? This is the sad sap who always ends up counting. Is he counting? or crying?

I believe that ghosts r semi-transparent entities & only their prominent features shine thru.

Spirit of Zappa #1

I've always liked & admired writers, artists, artistes & bands that never took themselves too seriously. One such artiste was Frank Zappa. He was a great musician & guitarist, who pocessed a zany sense of humour. His songs were long w/ crazy instrumental arrangements & crazier guitar solos. Need I say more abt the songs?...I wonder.
ppl who haven't heard him must listen to the following numbers:

1> San Ber'Dino
2> Dirty Love
3> My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama
4> Let's Make the Water Turn Black
5> Im the Slime
6> Tell Me You Love Me
7> Muffin' Man
8> Black Page

These pics were rendered using Corel PHOTO-PAINT 11, after I found out that he had passed away way back in the 90s.
