My reaction to the reveal of the Star Trek villain. Kinda mad it wasn't me. At least my beard is nice.

This is probably the weirdest giveaway ever, but let’s try it out :) Soon I’ll have more time for painting (finally) and I decided that it’s time to start accepting commissions (only if anybody will be interested in that, lol). I still need to think about some details (and prices), so for a good start I decided to make first one for free. This is a rare opportunity, because usually I don’t take requests :) So, here are the rules:

reblog to enter (just once, I don’t want to spam your dashboards)

you don’t have to be following me (but I won’t mind if you do ;))

winner will be chosen by random number generator

your ask box has to be open (I need to contact the winner somehow)

giveaway ends on the June 27th

Prize:

I’ll paint anybody you want (your favourite actor/singer/band member/ your relative/friend or even yourself)

Please note, that I do digital stuff, so you’ll receive only a huge-ass, high resolution file, nothing “physical” (although you can print it on your own of course)

it will be a classic head + a bit of shoulders portrait (see examples above)

you can choose only one person for me to paint

I’ll paint it within 7 days So, spread the word :)

Mehdi Hassan - Chaltay Ho Chaman Ko Chaliye

The world lost him today. The greatest ghazal artist to ever live. RIP.

Pretty soon this will become a lost art. Dhadi singers of Punjab. Sharif Idu and his sons. I like this one because towards the end his son starts singing some couplets of I think Qateel Shifai (maybe Ahmed Faraz? my memory sucks right now). Nusrat would sing it quite a bit too 'maine masoom baharon mein tumhe dekha hai...'

Classic Punjabi folk song. One of the most underrated and unheard of Punjabi artists (at least East of the border).
