Survival


 Attacks and torture on women is increasing day by day. What's happening to our society? In a society that has a history of holding women in high esteem why can't we free our country from these shackles? Women don't need empowerment they always had that, we men need to clear our minds. We don't need to protect them because they are weak, we need to protect them because they are important. All these thoughts gave rise to this sketch.

A figment of my dreams


 A few days back one of my friends told me to try and sketch what I see in my dreams. I told the person, that most of the time I don't have pleasant dreams. Most of the times I dream I am trapped in a place, trying to out run something, trying to reach a place. But I am never successful. So while I was thinking of the same the above pic came in my mind and as usual I penned it down.

The Real Shikari


 

Was re-reading the famous book Man-Eaters of Kumaon by Jim Corbett. And the below lines did bring out this pic.... 

"A tiger when killing it's natural prey, which it does either by stalking or lying in wait for it, depends for the success of its attack on its speed and, to a lesser extent, on the condition of its teeth and claws."- Jim Corbett, Man-Eaters of Kumaon.

Victoria Memorial (Kolkata)


Victoria Memorial has a special place in my heart. I still remember the first time I stepped into the Victoria Memorial. It was my winter holidays and I went for a whole day tour of the memorial and places around it. It was an awesome experience and what ever I saw left a deep impact on my mind.

A Rainy Alley



As the clouds pour down, quenching the thirst of mother Earth, as the smell of the first drops of rain fill my lungs with the smell of wet earth, as the wet winds blow past me making me lazy, I present you a walk down the rainy alley.

Let's imagine

 
There is this kid who used to love watching sci fi movies and reading
stories and comics about space heros.
 
Since childhood he used to imagine, and in his imagination he used to turn regular objects into spacepods, spaceshuttles, blasters and saberswords.
 
So one day he just penned what he imagined to share his imagination with others. And this is what he came up with.

Time Travel

Time travel is a huge theory. In layman's terms you can either travel to the past or the future.

Some mathematicians and physicists will argue about whether we can travel at all in time? Whether we can travel to the past or to the future? Or is it possible to make changes there? I am not well equipped to answer that. As an artist it's a mesmerizing thought and that thought has forced a sketch that I have penned down.

Some experts say that time travel is like a paradox or a loop in time. Once again I am no one to comment on that. But the idea is thrilling, and to keep that idea active and working in your mind a great Daoist thinker once said that he dreamt that he was a butterfly, and he believed it so much that when he woke up, he was a bit confused whether he was a man who had dreamt he was a butterfly or whether now he was a butterfly dreaming he is a man.

Look carefully you may find hints of the same in the sketch.

#Phantom
#Punisher

As a kid before Superman, Batman or Captain America came in my life, I was introduced to a horse riding, gun slinging superhuman....The Phantom.
The storyline was simple and intriguing.

After I grew up another super human, The Punisher, caught my attention and somewhere the pic of the skull brought back old memories.

So an attempt to do a cross over two super humans resulted in .... The Phantom Punisher

My illustration of Wuthering Heights

Love is not only sweet, love is not only soft. Love is not about good times, love is not about pretty whispers.


Love can at times bring destruction and vengeance. As someone rightly said "It was not the thorn bending to the honey suckle, but the honey suckles embracing the thorns"

Beware of love....
My illustration of Wuthering Heights....
A book that left a deep impact on my heart.

Durga Puja doesn’t mean new clothes, fun, frolic, and friends. It’s celebrated as, Dussehra, Durga Puja, Dasai etc. But end of the day it upholds the lesson that our ancestors taught us. No nation can thrive without empowering their women. They are the ones who build homes, societies, states and nations.

In present day, we are surrounded with stress, depression and unhappiness. It seems we are trapped in a remote location, within our brain. The escape path is visible, but we are so doped with our stress and unhappiness, we don't even make an attempt to escape.

There are friends out there who are doctors. While people like me, we are staying at home in the safe abode, these unsung heroes are stepping out. They are fighting a battle, we don't know how many of us will see till the end. This sketch is not to show how good an artist I am, this is a salute to these real Avengers.

The Mountain Of The Moon (My Version)

Was reading the book "Chander Pahar" (The mountain of the Moon) by Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay.
As I was going through the vivid description of Africa and the protagonists journey and adventure there, a picture cropped up in my mind. So today, my version of "Chander Pahar"

Ashwathama

My version of Ashwathama.

Written by: Sujoy Basu
Art by: Sujoy Basu

The more I read about Ashwathama the more a picture of a Ronin became clear. I have read about Ronins in feudal Japan. A Ronin was a wandering samurai without a master. Ashwathama being cursed and rejected by his clan and wandering throughout eternity is a perfect picture of a ever wandering Ronin.

As a kid I used to listen to this song and a picture used to come up in front of my eyes.

Here you go....

If you miss the train I'm on,
You will know that I am gone,
You can hear
the whistle blow, a hundred miles.
A hundred miles, a hundred miles,
A hundred miles, a hundred miles.
You can hear the whistle blow, a hundred miles.

Lord, I'm one, Lord I'm two
Lord, I'm three, Lord I'm four,
Lord, I'm five hundred miles away from home.
Not a shirt on my back,
Not a penny to my name,
Lord, I can't go back home this away.
This away, this away, this away, this away.
Lord, I can't go back home, this away.

If you miss the train I'm on, you will know that I am gone,
You can hear the whistle blow, a hundred miles.
A hundred miles, a hundred miles,
A hundred miles, a hundred miles.
You can hear the whistle blow, a hundred miles.

Fight to live or live to fight

Fight to live or live to fight !!!

Because we all have a hero hidden deep down within us 



When life grounds you, you always know....
Somewhere deep down there.... the big guy is waiting to take over you.... But you still try to control.... 

When you can't you unleash the green monster.....



You draw out your claws,
awaken the beast within you..... And fight back,  tearing everything into shreds.....






Fighting...... Rounds after rounds....
You tell your self.... "One more round.... A last round"..... And when the fight doesn't seems to seize, and you vision seems to fail...... You get up and tell your self "I can do  this all day"......

The evening was cold, but your warm smile was a relief, as we walked past the windows that lit up your face. The memories are old, but the feel of your hand in my hand is still fresh.

We kept talking and the hours turned into eternity, I didn't want the evening to end. It felt like a dream that I never wanted to wake up from.

Today you did hold my hand when we walked past the windows, you did laugh at my jokes, you did make my heart beat faster like the first day. I realized, only one thing had changed between us. It's just that we have aged.

He runs through the night forest, his steps as light as a whiff of wind, he cannot be seen but his presence can be felt. He can smell fear from miles, the more you get afraid the more his presence becomes eminent. He runs alone, his pack has abandoned him. But being alone doesn't make him vulnerable. It make it easy for him to hide. His only weakness is the full moon, that day he comes to his real form and he is the most vulnerable. The silver light of the full moon gives him his real shape, and a silver bullet at that time can pierce his heart.


He is like the devil incarnation on Earth.

It all started with Adam and Eve taking their first bite from the forbidden fruit of knowledge. It gave them negative virtues like shame and evil. It has multiplied as have we. And we have been now taking a bite each everyday no longer from the fruit of knowledge, but from the same abode that we call Earth. No more bites to take, it's just the inside out scene. Better we take heed or soon we will be digging into the skeleton of our abode. On second thought, would any "WE" be left then?

Batman has been my favorite superhero since childhood. Not because he is the best martial Artist, not because of his gadgets, not because of his suit or looks, but because he is a normal human being and he has shown that even without his suit and gadgets he can be the dreaded "Batman".

But is that all? He is called the Dark Knight because of a reason. One reason is he uses darkness as his Ally, is his weapon. Another reason is that he is a saviour but he is not the one people look upon. He is the one people hate, still he is the Knight saving them. But the biggest reason to call him Dark Knight. His existence is built on Vengeance.

If you see his enemies they are also the ones who seek revenge, so not much difference there. If you see his biggest enemy "The Joker", is one who is unpredictable and erratic. But what does he want? He also wants revenge. May be that's the reason I feel Joker and Batman are the two faces of the same coin. Both seek revenge but the way is different.

Then again Batman rises above his enemies because of some attributes. He is the fallen samurai, a Ronin who still holds his territory. Gotham is his territory. Anyone who calls for havoc in Gotham has to face the wrath of the Samurai, The Dark Knight

In reality abstract Art is one of the best forms of expressing oneself. In this form of art the artist or the receiver of the art, is not restricted by boundaries to express oneself.

The above picture is a classic example of abstract Art. The artist may have painted just two glasses, but the receiver may perceive the same as a romantic one. Depicting two wine glasses which may remind the receiver of his/ her partner and the awesome moments spent with him / her.

And more over I have always felt that other than colours grey scales help to express more. So just let your imagination fly.

Hi,

I am a sketch artist and I feel in the time of DSLRS and fancy cameras the real essence of art is getting lost. So a small attempt to keep it alive, with pics that left a mark in my mind from Pondicherry.
