F R U I T C A K E

Swerve around the bend to encounter a nutty fruitcake who has squirrels in the attic; impervious to reason and rationale. Espy a slavish conformation to spawning kooky odds and ends, souped up by a daffy femininity. Come; paddle through dippy soliloquies and this and that.

New Downloadable Single Page Zines

Confessions Series - Set of Four Zines

Confessions of a Bookaholic

 Confessions of a Melancholic

Confessions of a Shopaholic

Confessions of a Rageaholic

Here; https://www.etsy.com/in-en/listing/520100978/confessions-series-digital-zine-digital?ref=shop_home_active_1

are four single page zines / comic books plus a How To Assemble An Eight-Page Zine From A Single A4 Page instruction sheet available for instant digital download.

Each zine has an individual center spread which has to be printed back to back with its accompanying text. You could also use the centerspread as a poster.

The confession series came out of varying phases in my life. I initially wanted to do a zine or book in a longer full book/zine format but considering shorter attention spans and paucity of time and concurrently spurred by a challenge to encapsulate my thoughts in a very brief format in a pithy manner was when the idea of a single page zine consummated. It may ring a bell with people who exhibit similar traits, a love for books, prone to anger outbursts etc.

*** Has a total of 8 pages including the cover once assembled from its original A4 page size.

*** Four downloadable hi-res PDF file for each zines will be available for download.

I made a series of bad girls, two of them from that series.  I somehow never got around to completing this series. Typically me to procrastinate; lose interest mid way, find something more inspiring or appealing to do.

I feel I am a treasure trove of unfinished projects.

Little Mail-art Parcels (Mail Art) - 2

All my orders on Etsy were sent with a whole lot of artwork done on it. My 4 year old daughter was my partner in crime. She did most of the colouring. We don’t illustrate it anymore as the post office forbids me from embellishing the envelopes.

Anyways, this is a photo of one of the packages we sent out before we stuck the address label.

Winter Sunset.

These are the  gorgeous colours we captured on a balmy winter evening sunset in December.

We had been to Juhu beach to celebrate ‘Beach Day’ as part of my daughter’s birthday month celebrations.

Within a span of half hour the sky assumed several different shapes and colours. It was magical and so beautiful.

New Art Zine WIP

Here’s a sneak peek into my new art zine which I plan to finish assembling & printing inside of June this year.

It’s going to be just illustrations done in black and white with no text. A few beautiful sea nymphs may give these gorgeous shells company.

I have used only charcoal and graphite entirely. This zine is an ode to my love for oceans and shells.
