Bunny story

Some illustrations I made for a short story that a friend of mine has written. Good practice. Not where I want to be really.

Embers in Snow: Music from the Woods

Manipulation with images collected from the net. Rakat's going-away show this Thursday in Dhanmondi. Here's the link to the facebook event page. 

finished, 4.58 am; August 15, 2013 - Karma

Perhaps when life has 

No choice but to freeze

Like a statue - 

When it is faced

To face a long, 

Troublesome wall - 

You'll realize that

The people you helped atop

Aren't quite there anymore, 

And that you've left behind

The ones who've always

Stood behind you. 

As to why you are alone,

You'll know by the 

Air in-between

Your clenched fists,

The simplest answers

are the hardest

to grasp. 

When there is no 

Path ahead, 

Going back, 

Is the only Path. 

2nd day of Eid

Long drive to Kaliakoir, Gazipur. Yesterday.

Sample Eid Greeting design for NSUPC

I spent the first day of my Eid holiday in front of the computer, designing for office. Then, I decided to design something for NSUPC. Thought of putting this up, but then it seemed more fair to give the juniors a chance to design now. But I enjoyed creating this. 

The crow and the man-snow

- more like raven than crow. did this while at office.

Doodles - trying to reach the surreal

Boats

Fumbling all my words 

Mutter curses at myself 

Yelling when I'm mad

Saying sorry like it's true

Floating on thin air

Swiming after dreams

Stroking swiftly as I may

Chasing boats like I do

These boats, they always sail

Away from me

To let me know

That I have failed, That I have failed

So you wanna leave

Gritted rabbit teeth

Protruding eyes that leer

I wanna fall asleep

Keep on dreaming bliss

Bliss lies under a tree

Up on a yellow hill

That looks out to the sea

But there are boats that always sail

Away from me

To let me know

That I have failed, That I have failed

Know this now, know this well 

I'd sail into the sea, if I wasn't tied to your harbor 

Midway

There we were having a cup of tea

Years away from when we'd meet

And I said with frustration,

"We were onto something,

And now we've got nothing"

A thousand thoughts altogether

Makes us all the more each other

One another, we're all brothers

I started smoking first

And then you caught on 

And now I wanna let it go

I wanna let you know

So please don't get me wrong

There we were having a smoke

Years away from when we hadn't

And I said with despise,

"Look, we've caught onto something,

Yet we've still got nothing"

A thousand thoughts altogether 

Makes us all the more eachother 

One another, we're all brothers

And then you said,"No. 

Nothing's worth more than something

When you've got nothing more"

Changing Homes, title track

Changing Homes, the third song from my side project, Changing Homes, is the [obviously] the self titled track, which metaphorically describes the concept of the title itself.

This track had significant contribution from all three members of the project, and was created in a matter of hours of tweaking with melodies and sounds.




Changing Homes:

Curtains swell to let the wind in
Shake my feet, I fall back
Rain comes pouring onto summer
Fills my eyes, I start to cry
The sound of pages, flipping on the wall

As if time wants me to move.
But your hands hold me down.

Houses in the sky
Floating like the clouds
I'd give anything to fly
I pull myself out
I reach out for the clouds
There's a tree root coming down
Grab it and it lifts me,
Off the ground.

I'm changing,
I'm changing homes now.

A year older

Time just doesn't slow down. At this pace, I fear that I will fall flat on the ground soon with the realization that I haven't done much in life. It's another birthday, and half of 2013 is over. Life's been good so far. Ups and downs, twists and turns... but even at this stage/age, I don't know where I am going.

Well whatever the path ahead may bring, I'd like to take some time out to appreciate myself (something I don't do often). I'd like to wish myself a Happy Birthday. Happy Birthday doodlebird.

I'll try update this blog more often. However, with office and studies - the latter, not progressing at all - it's very hard to find some time to do anything "artistic". But I'll try.

Changing Homes.

I've posted a Changing Homes' track before on the blog. This is the latest track Ogni, which was directed by me and composed and produced by both Rakat and me. Raj wanted to contribute but hadn't found the time to do so, and the track had been lying idle for quite some time for which reason I asked Rakat to re-mix and master it, and release it.




A friend of Raj and a new fan drew us a cover photo based on my rough artwork for Changing Homes. It turned out amazing. I'm happy with the way this project is going. It's getting a lot of response and we did not intend for that when we started making the music. Or at least I didn't.

Wishes

Not a fully satisfying project. I wanted to go very minimal with this, yet the Bengali taste for cursive fonts and over-colored designs won over my idea. I did what the client asked. The logo does grab attention, I must say.

Drawing practice.

Calvin and Hobbes is so easy and fun to draw.

On the other hand, I haven't even touched work on the Book of Blunder.

New DOODLEBIRD ART logo

The old Doodlebird Art logo wasn't well thought out and I'll admit I didn't put much time into the old one.

Anyways, I'd been pondering on a new logo for myself, and it wasn't until last night that I finally came up with something different. I'm not fully satisfied with it. But I think this will get the job done.

Old Artwork

A blast from the past. I was a huge anime and comics fan. I loved drawing, and I would draw favorite characters from cartoons, video games and comic books. These were some of the drawings I kept with me throughout the years, though I lost a lot of others. I think I used to draw much better back then, than I do now.

NSUPC creative cell banner designs.

Just playing around with colors, shades and images. I actually learned a thing or two from such a simple work. These are still imperfect. I didn't feel like correcting the mistakes.
