Does a fish learn to swim,
Or is it born that way?
Can deer talk?
Can babies frown?
Can we write a poem
Whose title is so self-explanatory,
We hardly need the poem at all?

A poem written in 2008

Hmmm...

The crucifixion of Christ. This is my (humble) two dimensional, curvilinear homage to Dali's four dimensional Corpus Hypercubus, a magnificient picture that literally added another dimension to art. I did think of putting up a picture of Dali's work as well, but then decided against it because my picture would look really silly in comparison.

good advice and some pictures

Yesterday i got some good advice from a teacher( who taught me in school). She said that these days i was sounding too serious and pessimistic. Maybe it was time for me to change."Go to some big city, get drunk, get high on drugs and womanize- maybe that will improve you a bit", she said, completely serious. I am lucky to have been taught by someone who thinks and speaks like that.... :-)

here come the pictures

COMMUNION


this is called 'Communion', something between two angels. Maybe they are embracing. Perhaps it is an intimate conversation. After i drew this, it struck me that this can be interpreted as a gay picture. What can one say about the sex of angels? Are they male or female? they are all supposed to be of the same kind, so any love or intimacy between them can be thought of as gay. And there are the connotations of the word 'fairy'. though whether angels will fall in love or have sex is another question. As far as i am concerned, i do not believe in angels.

DANCE


This is inspired by the Garuda-Jatayu theme costumes i have seen in many dances, folk and classical.
FISSURES

Maybe i should have called it 'cracks'.

TOY DRAGON


Something like a rocking horse.

RESURRECTION


The biblical theme-run continues. The sarcophagus, rather curiously has come to resemble an Easter egg. Purely incidental.

INDRA

Indra, king of the devas, astride his elephant Airavatham. The jewellery draws inspiration from the Kerala school of temple murals.

THE PORTRAIT OF mr.P

This is for my friend, mr.P.

SHADOW OF A DANCE


All these pictures were drawn in MSPaint.
