Strangers on a Train

Traveling on the Subway for work, it has become a frequent norm to watch people and sketch them that sometimes, I do not even notice the people sitting right next to me. There was this one day where I sat right across a colleague from work and he didn't even know I was there all across until I had to go across to him as I got off our stop, 8 stops from where we had both boarded. This was one of the Inspirations to draw, "Strangers on a Train." In a world that promotes everything of the Self... and with the pre-dominant introduction of the word "Selfie" we have built a wall around us and block ourselves in this tight cubicle of ourselves never to know what it is happening in and around us. This drawing is a comical take on one such moment.

Power of Sorry-

"My love, I don't know where to start or what to say,
Cause you know I was never good with words in anyway,
But Here I'm on my knees just to tell you ,
"Truly, I'm Very Sorry."

When the cloud of anger refrains us from thinking clearly and pride sets too deep within to let go of what we have done, it's difficult to see someone else and notice what we have done.If only for a moment we could step back and see How we were forgiven and loved By the Only one and Perfect Jesus Christ, could we see how we should let go of our selves and take the greater step to reconciliation. Saying Sorry is not a sign of smallness, but swallowing your pride and holding onto your self even when you know you're wrong is indeed a sign of weakness and cowardice. May our hearts be filled with love to everyone. May we represent our loving Creator who gave us a heart, not to hate but to love others even if it means to lay down our self.

"It's Getting Cold Here."

With the dropping temperatures here in Toronto, I was able to do an anthropomorphic study of this Dog girl, inspired from a girl in the subway.This started out as a quick experiment which turned out into something more. Hope you all like it. :)

This is the Day

Psalm 118:24
This is the day the Lord has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it.

Here's an artwork, from a series of work that I've been constantly having thoughts to bring out into creation. I call this one, "This is the Day that the Lord has made." Indeed every day is His gift to us and to be thankful to him even on difficult days is how we can see his true purpose through our lives. May the Light of Jesus fill your lives wherever you are, no matter what you're going through. God Bless.

Color Dunes Project

Over the Last few months, I have been fortunate to do artworks for my talented friend, Prachi Gupta for her accessory brand, Color Dunes. This time around, we decided to go for an artsy, hand drawn style that though not clean finished, but yet has a unique appeal to it. I have to say, I do like how things have been progressing through each artwork. Here's the one for the Fall Season.

The Man-child

"Honey, I'm hungry."

This artwork was a hilarious take on Fathers and Children. A thought arose in my mind about hilarious situation about a crying Man-child as a confused baby looked on. Experimented with mood and colors to try to best capture the essence of getting the message across.

This artwork  was inspired from a shift of perspective. Something that can be normal to some will be abnormal to someone else. God Bless you all. :)
