Welcome to my blog.
Personally, I don't think I am a person of astronomical consequences. But, someday I want my life to be like what Jim Morrison said :
I see my self as a huge fiery comet, a shooting star.
Everyone stops, points up and gasps "Oh look at that!"
Then- whoosh, and I am gone....and they will never see any thing like it ever again....
and they wont be able to forget me- ever.

Thanks for coming!
Hope you have a pleasant stay here.

A village beauty



Yet another creation in Gimp. But for the background and cloth pattern, I was very clear about the design. Got the wonderful free patterns from http://webtreats.mysitemyway.com/ .

Thinking of coming up with ornate version of the same.

Happy New Year 2011

I hope that this new year brings more enthusiasm, energy, new direction and a life to our routine. Spent a sleepless new year designing this new year greeting in GIMP. 


It was something that I wanted to create last year itself. The idea was slightly different then. I wanted to show 2009(hen) walking away and 2010(chicken from the egg) cracking open and 2011(egg) waiting in queue. But I just wrapped up every thing and come up with the simplest one I could in such a short time. I hope that in this New year I make many more designs(no matter how small, simple or amateur they are! ) to satisfy my creative hunger.

I wish us all a very Happy and Prosperous New Year once again.

My 2010 Season's greetings. 

 
Made it in GIMP. 
The only trouble is that the image quality is getting compromised online...

A day for the creepy


My 2010 (1'st) halloween design. Created in GIMP.


Used several resources from the web. Ghosts from coloring pages, moon brushes from http://hawksmont.deviantart.com/, halloween brushes (cat, graveyard, witch, bats) by redheadstock, swirl brushes by obsidian dawn. Used path tool intensively on the spider web.

Do let me know what you think of it.
