Drawing on holidays
It never ceases to surprise me how many firsts are still left in life – a new activity this year was a trip with friends who are artists in their own right. Believe me when I tell you it was most refreshing.
And here you can catch the brown boy in action.
Leaving, the film
March is mainly about beginnings, but today’s post is about endings, closings, finales. You may remember the post Leaving which I had drawn about returning to India after my post-grad studies in Sweden. Here’s the film, brought to life by the brown boy.
And see more of his work here and here.
Weekend art
From my March sketchbook.
LINKS
Bangalore Art – There was an interactive dance show that we couldn’t find anywhere, not even online later
Mughal Gardens – Did you know Delhi has these amazing gardens? Now we have to wait for next year.
Rashtrapati Bhavan – That’s where the President stays.
Nityan’s show – my very talented friend is also a great artist.
TRANSCRIPT
Weekend Art (Kelas)
We went for Bangalore History and couldn’t find it.
BB: Oh it’s not even mentioned here.
We went to Mughal Gardens and it was already shut!
Finally we went to hang out in Rashtrapati Bhavan. And the call of coffee was too strong to ignore.
BB: Not all kelas (flops: pun) – We went for Nityan’s show last night
Me: Trust you to draw a silver lining on my dark cloud…
Sketching in the sun
Last month we went on a little holiday to Goa. First we visited Marvin & Ellie in their beautiful home in Panjim.
We then went south to Palolem to meet up with some other friends.
The anteater came as well, spouting William Blake.
The brown boy in Paris
The brown boy had a fantastic time in Paris last summer.
He began by showing off the only word in his French vocabulary…
Then, he found posters of his favorite bande dessinées auteurs and ate les moules frites
He loved the quaint hotel on the top floor in Montmatre, and soon got used to walking up the hill
Charmed by the Mona Lisa, despite the crowds of Japanese tourists and their cameras, and inspired by Van Gogh,
he spent days drawing in cafés and only pausing to see some of the sights –
I think he will agree that we got enough inspiration for at least a year.
