Baby Sitar Raga



treasure trailThis is a fairly loose interpretation of the brand new proposal over at Illustration Friday (IMAGINE), but just go with the flow! I was just colouring this drawing last night, and it really seems right for it. It's a portrait of me (or you) drifting into reveries of imagination in my (your) head, induced in this case by mesmerising Indian music.

Bytheway, I recommend clicking to the Giant Size, and you'll get right into the nitty gritty of the biro!

This is striking...great colors and shapes...seems abstract at first glance, and then I see instruments and a person. Very nice.

i don't mind a slice of praise now and again Ellen - whether warranted or not!

Alice a. and JacqueLynn, I wondered what the colours were doing, now i know they're popping.

i dig that you dig the vibe Valgalart.

Aeris and Jane Doe, i have to admit there must be a Picasso influence seeing as he's been my favourite artist for many years. He's part of the unconscious organic mix.

Carla, your experience of the picture sounds like mine. I was organically creating something abstract, then a figure appears, and the instrument was the finishing touch.

which is why it's not cubist, only reminiscent of cubism - cubistist sounds about right Alina

hi Eucharisto, I'll have to weave your guitar into the next one!

Thanks Dave, when the time is right, pack both your acoustic and electric in the boot and hot pedal it over here. Would like to hear your new songs.

Palak Paneer, the Indian Minister for Food & Agriculture? Put down your fork & knife at once! A welcome tongue observation Anonymous, I hadn't seen it - despite having drawn and coloured it. This was quite a serendipitous drawing.

You were allowing your own imagination free-reign while working on it too, so that adds another dimension. This is very cool!
