In mood for a holiday

Had made this last year as a Christmas gift tag

New city!

Exploring Bangalore aka Bengaluru on the agenda now that we have shifted here.

The top pic is of Art of Delight which is tucked away @ Residency road. They serve amazing desserts and lovely coffee.
One of my favourite places,The Only Place @ Museum Road for steaks. Great atmosphere and good food. Just a word of caution - the place gets flooded if it rains heavily :P

Hand lettered quotes-2

A few more from the set I made as presents :)

From the sketchbook

Have been practising my sketching on and off for sometime now. Hope to be more regular. Here are some from my journal pages.

There was something interesting about this balcony that was right outside my hotel room window. So it went straight into my sketchbook :)

Found old synagogue tickets from my trip to Cochin. The above sketch drawn from a photo reference.

Hand lettered quotes

Made these as a farewell present for few friends.

More hand lettered quotes to come :)

Hand lettered note

Having fun with some hand lettering. Made this Paulo Coelho quote as a gift to someone who was moving away to a new place.

Used watercolors, micron pens and golden acrylic paint :)

On an ancient trail

With its beautiful yet haunting remnants of ancient temples built during the 11th century, Kiradu lies about 35 km from the city of Barmer in Rajasthan. 

Under the regime of Solanki Dynasty of Gujarat these temples were built with intricate stone carvings. The temple stones depict various figurines of gods, goddesses, and other creatures on its walls and pillars.

And finally to the beautiful Mahabar Sand dunes. Though these are not as vast as Sam, they are still worth a visit to sit and enjoy the beautiful sunset or to lie down on the cool sand on a moonlit night.
