Sabbatical

Myself was on a sabbatical from the blog. The best way I can put my leave of absence. I can although say there were a lot of changes, some pleasant some not, but underlining them all was an inertia. Of not wanting to post at all which is the basic reason for me not posting but 'I am back.'

I am back with many discoveries and doings.

For one I have not browsed as much for artists but have joined a class for sketching +watercolor. There are some restrictions in them ( I am supposedly starting fromthe scartch so am following my tutor (but all the assignments are not the most interesting).Keeping faith in tutor that all in all will turn in just fine).

I found a way to bake bread!!!

yes I am actually talking about the good ol' bread.

Will post pictures of my first bread baking experiment which was made with (not so good) yeast and completed at 11:00 pm inthe night but yes it was good.

So i will popst my sketches( that is all I have been allowed to do in the class) and my baking experiements soon too.

For people who like me love to watch Discovery- Travel and Linving channel try to catch Nigella feasts and Rachen allen :Bake. Very interesting!!!

ZooZoos

ZooZoos- Vodafone Zoozoos I am captivated!! with the concept and the neatness with which it is applied to the product.

Succinct and natural body language is what I can't help but notice. Also it is maximum about 15 seconds within which they capture your attention totally!!

What am I tlaking about??!!

Well this is about the new advertizing concept of Vodaphone for the Cricket IPL season2 and it is a runaway hit with everyone. So far my personal favourite is the dating tips message visual. 

These are called Zoozoos( I just figured that out today) and the best part is they are not animated as it feels they are actually humans. It is great comeback after the Pug. 

How ironic that animation is used to imitate human behaviour in a fairytale like setting that this concepts uses the opposite i.e. using  people to imitate animation like movements.

You have to see them to know what I am talking about. Check them out on youtube

More paintings

This is a pencil sketch. The color perspective needs work (I have been told).

The fruit bounty. Sadly not mine to completely take credit of. They are again inspired...
This is an original. On one of my excursiopns, came across this scene. I will also post a real image of this scene. 
This is just in my home. The canvas was too large, and so dabbed random colors on to the other side.
