I LOVE umbrella and I LOVE drawing on it even MORE! My friend was kind enough to let me borrow his umbrella for few days. humm..now I kinda wish it was MY umbrella! ;)

In fond memory of my beloved orange umbrella! Some girls like bags, some like shoes or clothes but I like umbrellas. Love u my sweet sweet umbrella. Hope the person who found you is treating you well. Be it a crazy down pour or a cruel sunny day, you were always there. Your vibrancy also got me noticed many times ;). You were a good companion. You are irreplaceable. 2 y ears back I was gifted this really awesome, tall, bright orange umbrella and I made it more awesome by painting on it! Few months back I lost this umbrella in a Mumbai local train. If you ever see it somewhere, you know whom it belongs to. Waiting for a miracle to happen :)

My AWESOME work is so AWESOME that my very close and dear friend has been asking me to make some thing AWESOME for her.... :) ...so here it is!  a collage of cut out craft paper + black marker(my fav) + acrylic on canvas board.

I used flash CS3 for my film. It is black and white. No colors!

I am a big Black n White fan, but one can’t ignore the beauty of colors ! Here is the color exploration of the same. I have used mix medium to color these images. Watercolor patches covered by pencil strokes and black gel outlines.

'The Boy and his Umbrella' is my very first animation film, well, second actually. But this whole project is very special to me, and one of my dearest of works, so I decided to start my blog with it! Our course began with an assignment of writing and illustrating a story for children up to 8. Or between 5-10, have forgotten the details! not sure if I knew it even then! :) So I came up with an umbrella story!
