Bought a new tripod : Vivicam. Figured out auto bracketing on the Nikon D90. Experimented on the roof and the stairwell to increase comfort level with the new tripod. There’s an industrial photography shoot I’m doing on the weekend, hence the seeming flurry of camera activity. Tried some HDR, clicking on the photographs will take you to their Flickr pages and larger versions are available there.
Designed this for an iPod cover competition / contest. I used to do this kind of stuff when I was in school – painted many pots n dishes with similar patterns – took me five days to complete a sheet of A4 this time round!
This is the completed sheet.
This is what it looks like on the iPod template.
And these are some of the pots I painted as a kid – my Mother’s kept them as decorative pieces still!
The two pots above are aluminium Army issue tins.
This one’s a melmoware bowl. Sure come a long way aye!
A personal project. Illustration based on a dream. The above is the sketch on paper with a paper texture applied on top of the illustration in Photoshop. Below is the illustration converted to a vector in Illustrator, color added. The last the end of the post is the colored Illustrator file further edited in Photoshop.

I was working on a website for a friend – the project is no longer in process – more like I’ve declined to do it anymore because it was taking so long for the client to revert with anything. I had only come up with the website homepage template so far – which in itself was not finalized.
And here is the top right corner of the website template:
Designed the splash page or holding page for a friend’s personal website.
It needed improvement – more subtle – more dreamy.

Diwali 2009 Wallpaper
It’s Diwali season, 2006 and a lot of people are reaching the aside blog after searching for “Diwali” on Google. This has prompted me to release yet another Diwali Wallpaper [ in addition to the one released in 2005 ].
This is what it looks like:
Description
The desktop wallpaper has an illustration of Goddess Lakshmi [ or Laxmi ]. She represents wealth, well-being and prosperity and business owners welcome her on the festival of Diwali and pray to her so that she blesses them with wealth and prosperity. This Diwali Wallpaper has been created to give it an old, worn-out paper look to signify the tradition of celebrating Diwali that is being followed from the time of the Ramayana.
The colors used are the colors of turmeric and saffron, which are oft-used “puja” [ meaning "prayer" ]-related materials.

Since I’d mentioned Grunge a couple of days back, this was a great viewing experience.
Links to the websites :
Why do I get a feeling that Grunge is not a great idea for website? [ they look too cluttered ].
There were more links [ you can see them all here ] – I just didn’t have the heart to dis anymore of them.
Two of my very good friends are grunge art fans and I’ve been hearing off and on that I don’t do any grunge at all. So here, sleep on it!
That reminds me, I need to increase the content-width of this blog.
So what do you think? [ About the composition above. ] Photography and design by moi.
