Well, it's again been a long time. It looks like I'm finding my pace here. A slow pace it is. Getting down to the real nitty gritty; I had mentioned in my last post that I had been working on some really exciting stuff. Here is one of them.
A first for me. Graffiti. I am not sure if this really classifies as graffiti. I m actually not even sure of the spelling. Ah, so I find that it is two 'f's and not two 't's. So two 14 feet walls and a 3 feet of small board was my assignment. The style had to be on the lines of the famous Herge. If you don't know who that is, please sign out and never come back. There is a swamp somewhere beyond the backwaters of a small village in a remote island in the middle of the pacific ocean. Please go there. For the rest of you, please refer the images for a bit by bit of my nail biting process. It is no cistine chapel, nevertheless it is quite an experience for me. In case you don't know the cistine chapel, please refer the process to follow described above.
My learning from this? How to use emulsions and enamels of course. But more importantly (dramatic music begins), the fact that however hopeless your design seems to be going (dramatic music enters higher octaves, bass is really picking up), don't let go (dramatic music nearing the crescendo, bass is booming, cymbals are crashing), keep understanding and adapting (dramatic music nearly at the peak, bass is going wild, cymbals are all over the place), it is never over, till YOU say it is (Trumpets blaring, cymbal player on ventilator, bass player vibrating, strings are having a seizure). I leave you with these images. The next time you are in Goa, go on to Vagator beach road. Half a km before you hit the beach, you will see this place. It is called Haddocks Cafe. Check their awesome burgers and sandwiches and the mouth watering sauces. If you don't, then please refer to the process described in the previous paragraph.
