And briefly, all is right with the world again.

Thanks to Abi for a phone that somehow naturally takes gorgeous pictures. I wonder where the glow around me is coming from though.

Hello Mars. This is the closest glimpse I’ll ever get of you.

My humble camera continues to amaze, and remind me how much I’ve always wanted a proper telescope. Old loves/new goals.

That time of every year when I yearn for the beach more than food or sleep.

Hello!

Some silliness in honour of that beautiful new Coldplay video, here’s my tiny self - ‘Up & Up’ - in the clouds. You can tell the view is great :)

I feel like I’m back in school again!

I was heavily inspired, over the weekend, by artist Este Macleod and her Explore Colour Series, to try my hand at negative space paintings from abstract backgrounds.

I’m yet to invest in trying actual oil paint, so the digital practice ground is fun for now. Also a great way to play with colour interactions and shapes/forms.

Going to try and do a few of these everyday! And do take a look at Este Macleod’s amazing work.

Stepping out from hibernation means shedding of coats.

I have no idea why I’m obsessed with warm clothing at the height of the Hyderabad summer! Whew.

Experiments in tiny-book-making, inspired by the gorgeous work of Evan Lorenzen.

Illustration on this scale really made me understand how to minimize and simplify forms. Major ball point pen love as well.

Also I’m kind of in love with the way the sailor guy looks.

Enjoyed this too much for it to be a one-off project, let’s see if we can rustle up a series! Any suggestions for what things could populate more tiny books?

All these eyes, all a-watching me.

Sometimes Chumbak’s packaging rivals the prettiness of their products.

Collaged some lovely mountain patterns from one of their paper packages to make these pensive sky women/ nature mothers/ ladies in the air.

Animal Drama: alive, dead, figurine-dead.

With love, to Portugal!

What better way to learn a new language than by making sweet strangers’ letters for them.

The sender requested a doodle of a cat, but of course I went properly overboard. :D
