What Kaveri Seas

Misguided Love

noreply@blogger.com (Kaveri Gopalakrishnan) — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 14:13:00 +0000

I love the rad self-portraits that my favourite bloggers like ElsieCake and Gala do, to document their life|ideas|things that inspire.
Taking one myself is a different thing.It's like a spotlight...the kind in cleaner fluid ads,that wipes out germs in toilet bowls.

This week will be joining you next week!

Chitrakatha is back, for the 3rd time around. It's the International Student Film Festival hosted by the National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad. (PHEW so much wordses.)

The 5-day fest is bigger than ever, from the 19-23rd of October.

There are day-to-day happenings, along with updates on what's getting all groovy backstage. Can't wait!

Attachment

Is mystifying.

As much as good hair days, relationship columns and fears of the dark.

Self-explanatory.

Just made a comic for the Chitrakatha 2011 newsletter.(Hello, the much-awaited animation film festival! I'm so glad Ahmedabad's gotten all groovy!).
Reminded me that I need to work on my greys and get my lighting on.

Red Cloud

noreply@blogger.com (Kaveri Gopalakrishnan) — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 10:33:00 +0000

Red Cloud comes when the mist is clearing in the guise of a fair maiden, guileless of face.

I'm quite tired of drawing things that don't come to me naturally. This scribble happened when my poor head threw up, after an overdose of high fashion (ref. A Dress A Day).

Measly scribble drawn straight on CS4 in measly 15 minutes.

Rise Intuos

The wacom tablet pen is permanently affixed to my arm,
it seems.
And the left one, it seems.
Eegods what issues!

When Frogs Fly

Laptop sticker I designed on request by someone.

I really didnt mean to think of The Bride. But it happened, so there.

In the bigger picture:
Designer Versace,
Day 5 of A Dress A Day.

Customised a watercolour brush on CS4 and fell in love with it's organic feel. Also, this texture! More explorations coming up soon with both.

Panelled illustrations are fun!

Day 4 -{A Dress A Day Designer: Dolce and Gabbana (Fall 2010) Customised a brush and tried something different, more colour-pencil-y. Source image:

Stormin' it.

noreply@blogger.com (Kaveri Gopalakrishnan) — Sat, 24 Sep 2011 13:27:00 +0000

A Dress A Day, dawn three. Designer: Christian Lacroix. Runway models get boring. I want to feed most vitamin tablets, not unlike the way my Mum lovingly piles them into my much-abused immune system. Storm looks so much more feisty no? Dress reference:

Oh, see what Arushi, Jasyot and Whale( new entrant to our challenge!tadah!) did with Lacrosse.( Sounds like that,cant help it.)

Dear Dior, I drew You.

noreply@blogger.com (Kaveri Gopalakrishnan) — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 09:32:00 +0000

Second one from A Dress A Day! Designer: Dior. Did this in a bit of a rush. The character was the most fun. They always are. Her headgear( similar to the Dior runway hair style) works like an angler-fish's bulb, while her feet help to claw up the mountain slopes. (But I love LOTR!) See Jasjyot and Arushi work their outfits, too. Original image:

A Dress A Day

noreply@blogger.com (Kaveri Gopalakrishnan) — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 15:21:00 +0000

Last year, Jasjyot and I did a 'draw-this-dress' challenge inspired by the much lurved Em Carroll.
It's back as 'A Dress A Day' , Arushi joined us and of course had to start with McQueen! Loved making this one, reminds me of a futuresque Harley Quinn.
Original image:

More feshion, yes, but also expect iconic costumes( Star Trek and Xmen alert) from anywhere.

The challenge is simple:
1.It's not a challenge.
2.It's really not.We just pick something striking that'd be fun to draw and
3. Do something really quick on photoshop.
4.Outfit remains true to design, model does not.

More Bechain!

My poor un-updated blog!
So this is some of what Ive been up to:
Bechain Nagri (the awesome awesome illustrated sketchbooks yes)put up stall at Kyoorius Design Yatra 2011. Handling the stall with my kewl frand Jasjyot

Sleep is Bliss

noreply@blogger.com (Kaveri Gopalakrishnan) — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 09:50:00 +0000

It's been the norm for many nights of my nocturnal life to sleep an hour, 2 hours max at a stretch.Ten hours in bed with the vicious cycle makes me emo and cranky.(my favourite and lease favourite words respectively!)
Moving into an apartment with three nice noisy quirky friends has changed things .Don't you wish you had a mountain whale,electric gaga-lovin' ogre and zoned out hyper-long bunny rabbit in YOUR vicinity?
You do.
I sleep better,way better.
Die insomnia!You slumber dust-inhaling crack-baby!

Day tripper

noreply@blogger.com (Kaveri Gopalakrishnan) — Sat, 02 Jul 2011 10:40:00 +0000

Once upon a summer,
I took a spur-o-the-momenta drive down to Kodagu(my native place)with two couples.
It was an experience,and I loved the space.

Network was non-existant and the room flooded on the first night.
There was a bonfire, a lot of smoke and not much water to drink at night.

We drank the wines and painted all night, with acrylics and ash.

Roseburn.
