Chosen Innocent

This was done in one shot -my old trusty fountain pen and some green ink-that's all...the inspiration is Vandana Babi and the tale she told me -at Max's one evening where everything from the haal of Sufi's and out of body experiences , physics and remembering past-lives were discussed. Ma was with me. It was eerie. I believe Ashphaque, Max's brother, has lots to share. Many more paranormal tales. With nino's tea, pakoras and earthern pitcher cooled water -an evening to remember. It's a story, a drawing, an illustration and a poem. Was surprised the way it came out! Shikshantar(Udaipur) printed it in 'Swapathgami' in the last issue of the newsletter. I promised Shilpa to send the write up on it . But forgot!

Lessons from a guru on a perpetual creative high!

1.Draw one spontaneous drawing every day.
2.Make everyday objects look unreal
3.Draw 1 remembered image from a dream
4. Leave out more than you put in.

(This was Lesson 1 via sms...followed by an offer for more!
With a visual reference thrown in! Wow!Thanks Randhir!)

Lots more. I'd be happy to do a few sessions sometimes.
Have you seen the work of Ralph Steadman?
