It's been like ages since the last time I updated my blog and this post can't make up for it at all but what to do; I've been really busy recently and barely had time to do anything else. I don't want to admit it but sometimes even drawing and creating ain't fun no more! Anyways...it's just a practice with watercolor and color pencils. Am learning everyday...

Last Friday my sister's friends threw her a PRE-B'day party! Wow! Though I was way busy with my assignments, I decided to join them and just have fun with a younger crowd! It was awesome!
I made a card for my sis which was all I could do really!
Happy B'day Salma! Wish you all da best! :)

Once upon a time, in a land far far away, lived "Bobby The Baker". He wasn't like you and me; he was a "baker". Bobby had three hands and one of them was an oven glove. He had two legs and one of them was a sack of flour so he would always have some flour handy! No one cared for his bizarre appearance; Bobby baked the best cookies, cakes and pies in the whole world!

It was Iran's BIG presidential election yesterday so my dad's birthday went by rather quietly. Still I found some times to make him a silly card! I came up with the words in the shower so I apologize if their meanings are a bit "washed out"!
Bling Bling,
What's that thing?
That's a butterfly with burning wings,
Bling Bling,
What's that thing?
That's an orange baby who can NOT sing!
Bling Bling,
What's that thing?
That's a long white bright string,
Bling Bling,
Pull the string,
Why are you waiting?
LET THE PARTY BEGIN!
Happy Birthday Dad! Wish you all the best! :-)

A week back I received a message from Ksenia that really touched my heart. She has recently lost her husband, Mikka, in a tragic accident and is making a book in his memory for their little daughter. The book's name is "Mishkina knizhka" which has a double meaning in Russian – The little bear’s book and Misha's book (that is Mikka's real name)
I decided to take part in this beautiful project. May God bless his soul…

I've had mixed feelings when drawing and painting this piece. I'm learning new techniques in watercolor so I thought of using some of them in this picture. Anyways...I was mainly inspired by two things, Audrey Kawasaki's amazing artworks and Marina Bychkova's beautiful dolls.

My 99th post is a lil' something for a dear friend, Omar Abdullah! It took me 5 hours to finish this piece. I tried to make some changes for it to be more impressive!
Hope you like it Omar and all Amy Lee's fans out there!

Meet "May"; my sister's imaginary daughter! She's been asking me again 'n again for it but I've been busy with so many assignments lately. Last night, at last I squeezed it in my schedule and finished it in about an hour and half I think.

I thought to myself that a change of mood can do me some good! "Where to start?" I ask myself; "Your artworks ofcourse!" I answered myself!
So here is me changing mood! I mean at least I've tried...by adding some bright colors!
Cheers :-)

Again am in this gloomy mood...don't know why! There are many things going on around me; some of which I like and most of which I don't. Well, I think life is supposed to be that way!
Nothing more to say...

I was working on this portrait of Keira Knightly yesterday when suddenly I felt like I'd had enough! Don't know what exactly got into me but whatever it was, made me wrap it up then and there. I'm not sure if I'll ever go back to it but for now...it's not THAT bad! Is it?!
Cheers :-)
