Title: Schoolgirl

A moment...

I just wanted to take a moment to put down my feelings on seeing the comments on my artwork.

I always felt that pictures run deeper than words. Though some writers can paint vivid landscapes with their words, there seems to be a certain richness that comes with the multiple interpretations available to the viewer of a picture.

Truth is, I'm just as much of a viewer as you are with the work that I'm posting. It's been a while since I did them, and what I think they mean now is sometimes a lot different from the original inspiration that drove me to pick up the pencil. It feels like opening up, like the eerie feeling of looking at oneself as a separate person in a dream. It's fascinating. Your comments make me re-think my thought processes, inspire me to re-invent my ideas, and in the process rejuvenate the embers of creativity that still glow within.

Thank you.

Today's sketch

Title: The Dance

Oh well, might as well...

The writing bird has clearly flown the coop (for now, at least), so I think I'll just rest on my laurels for a while and post some of my drawings, a lot of which have been scanned thanks to the diligence of Yadbhavishya and Pradeep. Today's definition for happiness - having friends who can say,
"And since you know you cannot see yourself
So well as by reflection, I, your glass,
Will modestly discover to yourself
That of yourself which you yet know not of."
(from Julius Caesar by Shakespeare)

Here's how it works. Take these posts as the pictorial version of Pingi's Joie de Vivre. Take a look, and leave a comment on whatever the drawing reminds you of/makes you feel. Once I run out of my drawings, I'll just post other interesting pictures I come across.
