saturday school – week 3
India has been in the news a lot recently, for things that are happening everywhere. Even reading and absorbing the information hurts and I find it hard to maintain the belief that we live in a beautiful world… Maybe I have a simplistic view of life but I often find simple things are true. Women are no less important than men. Violence will cause pain. We have an impact greater than we understand. All living creatures deserve respect.
I believe its time to overwhelm the news with positivity. We’re overdue.
saturday school – week 2
last week was truly a new experience. as soon as i posted i felt relieved but also incredibly unprepared. i spent some time researching hand lettering and realized i lacked the right tools… so i visited the art store.
also in conversation with friends this week, we talked about the limited amount of hindi calligraphy and fonts. the conversation made me even more excited to play and explore. one of the seeming limitations with hindi is the bar connecting the words. as i worked on this week’s lettering, i was thinking about how music flows and connects. so i decided to play with hindi and keep all the words connected with a single bar.
happy saturday!

lessons i learned from music #1
this is a very rough page from my journal, i use it to work out a lot of my stress… it really helps sometimes to write and draw it out ^_^

guitar boy
i met my hubbahubba in college. he tried valiantly to teach me how to play guitar. i gave up because it was much nicer to listen to him play than to play myself. through the years we’ve been together he’s played in a band called monsters are not myths. the band gave me some of my first chances to create art that left my sketchbook and was seen by others… my art became flyers, posters and album covers. his music and band chartered many firsts, and as the band is playing their last show, i drew this for him & them.
thank you for all the inspiration.
(and, if you’re in san francisco, join me at their last show tomorrow night)
