interesting hand formations

2010-04-15T16:10:00.000-07:00

I notice interesting hand shapes/gestures that people make in transit...I try to capture this as often as possible. The shapes the human body parts can form sometimes remind me of motifs and abstract designs...

end of winter!

Before I left for India the weather was already starting to warm up....yeah for early spring!

2009-10-14T15:43:00.000-07:00

the weather has turned on us! but now there's a reason to take out those cute boots...i also love the fall 09 make up trends - with bolder colors...this girl was definitely rocking the pink shadow!

obsession with hair

2009-10-14T15:38:00.000-07:00

there is something about long and wavy hair that appeals to my drawing senses! maybe its the intricate detail...i also love how the bag came out!

This girl had great style. paired her vibrant blue leggings with blue eyeshadow...not many ppl can pull that off!

Reading on the train

2009-10-08T21:06:00.001-07:00

Love how the lady's hands were folded...always good to see people reading instead of texting for a change :)

Sleepy passengers

2009-10-05T21:14:00.000-07:00

This girl had a really interesting scarf - decided to experiment with it on Photoshop...

NYC represent!

2009-10-01T16:00:00.000-07:00

This man in particular was in a friendly mood - came over to observe the drawing! Apparently liked it...I loved the placement of the plastic bag against his hand and the plaid jacket!

2009-10-01T15:57:00.000-07:00

Back to the 6 train - this time around I was fortunate to observe some interesting folding of fabric worn by my fellow travelers. I had lots of fun putting it all down on paper!

6 train - the way the man was napping inspired me to create a sort of
dreamlike interpretation of the train ride

I restarted sketching on the subway. Love having just enough time to get in all the interesting details from the passengers.

new series in progress

2009-05-13T11:43:00.001-07:00

I was in Thailand in April and decided to do a series dedicated to local flora! :P Although I lived there for most of my life never really closely inspected or drew the flowers...so this time around I went all out and did close to 20 drawings...hopefully will come out as vibrant as the flowers themselves!

Using Dr.Phil Martin's Hydrus fine art watercolor as well as my russian watercolors :P

mutant ant story part 1

this is the first of 3 narratives that are going to be part of a simple animation. I wanted to create a trippy little world where unique species inhabit a strange island...
