Long time coming...

Haven't drawn a comic in a while. But it all changed two weeks ago when Sumit Kumar and I decided to draw a comic each for Army Day on 15th of January. We started drawing on Army day and finished nine days later. The comics were published on Sumit's comic website: Bakarmax

Here's my comic about some of my random rants being an Ex army brat on Bakarmax!

She lacks some inspiration...

ODD (Obsessive Drawing Disorder)

Drawing on a paper cup in an airplane  

drawing on empty pistachio shells (I have a bag full of them... shells, not pistachios) 

a duracell battery 

iron supplement tablets pack

camera lens cap.

These days, the moment I hold a pen or pencil in my hand, I have an uncontrollable urge to draw on whatever surface is handy, including my mac and my own body.

Some might say that I have no plain sheets of paper to draw on...

Kyunki har mummy same hoti hai!

Ego boost

So this Portugese language bike blog featured a few of my comic strips!
Just stumbled upon this... (you know... by doing an image search of my name on google) surprised by how much of my stuff is featured online on other websites and blogs :D
I'm not sure, but I think it's a Brazilian blog?

tonight in front of the computer...

I put my feet up and drew this sketch...

Grumpy Rider

 

I was watching an advertisement for bikes one evening on TV, when a thought crossed my mind - What if, a guy all decked up in biking paraphernalia all ready to ride, had to take the bus to work/college because his motorbike just refused to start?

My ex was an avid motorbike rider. Although I don't care for him now, I dedicate this post to him.

an Idea which never materialised further

I had an opportunity to draw a small 4 page comic about the impending apocalypse for Kindle magazine a few months back. I couldn't finish it, as most of my comic projects, but I wanted to record it because I might finish it some time before the end of the world as we know it.

Having written a synopsis which made me think a little more, I was in two minds whether it was a ridiculous idea or not. Maybe it was an acceptable idea, but the comic wouldn't be able to represent what it started out to say. 

Here's the synopsis for the incomplete story: 

Our world as we know it, has seen Natural and artificial disasters periodically. The very shelter we build for safety often becomes the cause for tragedy and loss. Human kind has learned from their experiences and past mistakes and designed for all possible natural, and more recently-man made disasters. Sounds like we have it all figured out.

But what do we know of what awaits us? To be prepared for something we have experienced before is one thing, but what about the unknown? What is the nature of the disaster awaiting us? What do we prepare for? How do we know what structure will last?

The apocalypse is just the end of the world as we know it to be. The eventual post apocalyptic collective conscience will enlighten us to come to closer to the dream of the ideal habitat which in turn will lead us to the truth.

The apocalypse is the ultimate test for the master architects and planners who came before us. We shall thus know what lasts and what we, as a race want to preserve. Not just for historic records, but the for the value it adds to our new lives.

The comic explores a fictional fate of great buildings of the world - ancient and contemporary in the Post apocalyptic era of complete and pure utopia.
