Vigilante

Again, I've gone missing, was busy with some stuff, and then I was running around the country to see friends and all.. and then whenever I was at home, I was more like wasting time than doing anything productive!! oh well apart from reading that is, I was reading a lot of Clive Barker so I was in a weird fantasy work half of the time.

Anyways, I was on the phone for a couple of hours with one of my friends the other day, and I have this bad habit of scribbling on something whenever i'm on the phone, then again, i guess a lot ppl have that... anyway, I was playing around on Corel Draw throughout the call, and what u see below is the results, of coz I've spent about two more hours on it after the call, to perfect it... not bad is it???

The Poison Queen

Adobe Photoshop CS3, about five hours. Most of the time was spend on the dress and the chair unfortunately... :) I love my Intuos... worth every penny spent on it...

Raven's Revenge....

filthy humans... You brought on an apocalypse on the earth... You messed with the powers of the nature and destroyed mother earth.... We despise you... We feast on your flesh... We'll find a way to live... We will survive...

Darkness.....

The dark gloomy skies with no spec of light…

Leaves me wondering…

Has the sun given up on this world???

Leaving it to drench in the unforgiving darkness…

Where is the light that used to accost me every morning??

I clearly remember how it used to shine…

When I looked out side and felt the warmth…

The warmth that brought a smile to my face…

My visions blurred…

The misty veil makes me partly blind…

Nothing but smears and distorted figures…

Where am I???

The screaming silence…

What happened to the melodious sounds that gave life to the mornings???

I want cry out loud…

But no sound comes out…

What has gone wrong?

Has some unholy terror has unleashed its legions in to the world?

Spreading the poisonous gloom and misery??

What is killing the sweet mornings??

I closed my eyes trying to shut myself… Disconnect from the enclosing gloom…

Hoping that I can feel more alive…

Hoping that I can feel how I used to feel every morning…

Then it dawned to me…

Its not the world..... The gloom is inside…

The reason why i went brownish.....

Yep... I've switched from black to brown... I don't think I got tired of black... I won't get tired of black... it's a lovely color... or can we call it a color?? Both Black and White... can we call them colors??? Its more like either presence of all the colors or the absense of all the colors...

anyways.. I finished the below painting yesterday... and I liked the colors... probably thats the reason why I've switched to brown.....

One thing that I like about this is the movement involved.. Its everywhere... the earth and the sky... and amidst of that wild moving back ground the single tree stays rooted motionless... alone.. lifeless and still against the fading skies....

The Wandering Monk.....

Moving in to light.... Fading in to white.... The wandering monk in a timeless odyssey in to himself....

Colorful treat.....

Supposed to be in parallel to Chathu's blog.. but there was some a registry error in my computer that took sometime to fix and download the pics...

It must've been around midnight or something... and we were too tired to go around looking for other places.... so we ended up at the great Sampath Hotel Rajagiriya!!!

Fluorecent light, Automatic exposure on my Nokia phone... i like the color scheme.. well... I don't you have to have the "eye" for colors or anything else to notice that...

Late night creativity......

I was havign a miserrable time lately.... a little bit of free time but nothing to do with it... I was feeling not all that well and amazingly tired... and no mood to do anything.... my mind was restless.... I tried few things to calm my self down and to get myself in to a good mood... after a million failed attempts one thing worked...

and I present to you.... my Sunday late night creativity....


The White Tree.....


water color on Grainy watercolor paper.... with a mix of pastel..... most probably this represents my restless mind... coz all of this painting came without a plan... from the scratch i didn't know what i was doing right till the end of it......


Dancing to the wind....


The more cheerful me... watercolor with large dry camel hair brush.... on watercolor paper... a million tiny dots to creat the shapes and illusions.....


Forlorn


I personally love this one.... one of the many faces of loneliness... and survival...
