a recent sketch of the bay near to where i stay - very amateurish attempt, just to find my bearings.
some time to spare + some inspiration = “straight through the heart”
Japanese magna + time
stencil art + inspiration
from my past
the main reason for this post,
Chidu + photoshop and ‘World of warcraft’ ? = pugna (the oblivion)
I came across this spinning lady animation. It’s a simple animated GIF so there are not much of tricks involved.
The question is, which direction do you see the lady spinning ? clockwise or anti-clockwise ?
If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa. And this is what the right and left part of the brain do,
LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses logic , detail oriented , facts rule , words and language
present and past , math and science , can comprehend , knowing
acknowledges , order/pattern perception , knows object name
reality based , forms strategies , practical , safe
RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses feeling , “big picture” oriented , imagination rules
symbols and images , present and future , philosophy & religion
can “get it” (i.e. meaning) , believes , appreciates , spatial perception
knows object function , fantasy based , presents possibilities
impetuous , risk taking
To help matters, At first glance she spun clockwise, after sometime she was spinning anti-clockwise and last time i checked she was spinning clockwise. Thats probability playing with me, but i guess i am more right sided than left sided (2 out of 3).
A write up the below will follow, but first,
UPDATE - 15.11.2007 :
i got the above inscribed onto my body on oct 11. i entered the tattoo center with 3 variations of the above design and after close to 10 minutes of re-sketching and some iterations later i finalised what was going to be put. For the next 30 odd minutes all i felt was 100’s of needles going in and out of my skin every second. It was painful but not like i had imagined (read as ‘not that painful’) but definitely irritating. And in all my attempts to flow the whole process, i would get disoriented by the vibrating needle and had to face straight for the most of the time.
It is done !
After a through checkup of what was on me, i asked for edges to be more sharp and pronounced. The tattoo artist sharpened and made the edges as asked. And after 5 separate requests for the each of the edges, i was convinced the work was done.
Yup thats done.
With this one on me, i have got more craving to get the intended to be ‘first’ tattoo on. But i do not know how long i will have to wait to get it on.
I recently finished a poster design done for a Indian cultural celebration called - Colors of India - in Helsinki. This event is conducted by a NGO called aarambh.
After one of my previous posts where i reposted a original, i was in a frame of mind where i would avoid having to repost topics or link back to original posts again. But with posts like the one i am talking about below, i just cant pass off the chance to have these contents in my blog. So here it is.
Every time i am done with any one of sample works i tend to compare it with what i have seen till now and critique the work with respect to them and as always i end up not being overly happy with my work. But i have come to accept it, and that it takes time and patience to reach a particular level of professionalism.
As usual i was going through the list of rss feeds i have subscribed to, and saw the below post at smashing magazine. I just got another 100 odd design works and their creator, that now i can compare my work with and judge the place i stand in. Before i link to the original post, here are a few images i lifted from the site.
Hi was returning back home from work and found this poster.
I was not able to make it to “Studio 51″ as i slept off. But I doubt it would have been any different in comparison to my previous visits I have made to the mentioned club.
