I always wanted to become an illustrator .. but dazzled by the glamour of the advertising industry ..... I have long forgottten the way pencil moves on paper .. the ballet of lead on ivory .... seems like a long forgotten ... legacy .... called sketching !
some of my few ink sketches done using a squeezy ......
Well What a long and frustrating week its been... and still I am stuck in a phenomen most people think its rare " Friday Blues " ... Working in ad agency .. I dread Fridays .. to add to the contrary .. I love mondays ... mondays .... are the days I can go home early .. rest ... relax ... put my feet up and lay back ... Fridays seem to be hectic , crazy with artworks to deliver and blood thirsty client servicing hounding you like hungry scavangers.
To add to the friday fury .. is the most important decision ... what am I gonna do friday nites .. friday nites are big out here ...
the moral decision of choosing the perfect friday nite hangout lies in the nimble hands of my dear friend aarthi .....
I hope this weekend will be more fruitful !!!!!!!!

Hi, I'm back .. After a long hiatus from blogging ..
I'm back with the vengeance .....
well to start off my blog is not a self proclaimed web advertisement of my work ..
but I also like telling the world out there that , many artistically inclined people are out there who do crazy things in design .. architecture .. advertising and various other fields..
For instance this karaoke bar in Japan......
Yes, we all saw Lost In Translation and thought, ‘hang on a minute, if Bill Murray can seduce Scarlett Johansson by singing ‘More Than This’ then maybe we could too!’Let’s face it, karaoke has always been the butt of bad movies, and its reputation is currently languishing somewhere between Japanese businessmen necking methylated spirit and hen parties ‘cutting loose’.
But recently, it has started to reclaim its cult status from half-tanked brides-to-be, and become a little bit more palatable. This new karaoke bar has been quietly, or rather, loudly, winning acclaim for its alternative approach to the nation’s favourite pastime. Rather than the dark booths of your standard karaoke club, this new private members’ sing-along has incorporated young artists to help liven up the interior. Think Manga cartoons but with a Lichtenstein edge.
Each booth has its own distinctive decor, and every surface has a graphic to reflect the spaces they fill. Which is a far cry from the matted walls and vinyl floors some bars choose. And most of all, it’s members only, so there’s no need to worry about being harassed by a woman with oversized fairy wings stuck to her back.
