more sketches

A drawing of Shri Ganesha (of all the drawings I did so far, this one took the longest:D about 1h )




The girl is supposed to be Aishwariya Rai,
the wolf was adapated from the call of the wild illustration (one of my alltime fav novels!) Jack London rocks, so does Aishwariya!!!

drawing of Morgan Freeman

Pretty cool actor!!!
I put the rough sketch and the finished one here, as you can see my shading tends to ruin the pics:D, still working on it though.



On I learned a new telemarketer trick today to get those pesky people off my back,
you pick up the phone, don't say a word and then start to sing loudly!!!
Trust me with a voice like mine they never will call back:D

RONALDO JUST TIED MULLER'S RECORD!!!

More breaking news, Ronaldo just tied Muller's record!!!!
Damn now thats pretty cool!!!!!!!!!
WOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, just one more to break it

RONALDO BROKE PELE'S RECORD!!!

BREAKING NEWS , RONALDO PICKED UP HIS PACE TO SCORE HIS 13th WORLD CUP GOAL TO BREAK PELE's RECORD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Next up lets see if he moves on to break Muller's (14 WC goal) Record as well...

I'll wait for my soca warriors in 2010...but for now more copa mundial 2006!

well we didn't make it to the next round but we were happy to be there!!!!!!!!!!!!
at the last 10 minutes left for the match, the trini crowd started running with their flag and smiling grandly, any reason is a reason to party!!!! For us it would've been nice to qualify for the next round but at least the journey was exciting!!!!
Now the entire world knows that there is a tiny island in the Caribbena that can play football!!!

so moving on quite excited about the matches to come, Ghana proved themselves twice and surprised the world, their defense is excellent , plus I'm looking at the little Mexican team, they do show a lot of promise.
Plus one cannot think of the world cup without thinking of Argentina and Brasil.
Brasil seems to have slowed their pace a bit so right now it seems like a toss up, no guesses right now but hope for Ghana and the Mexicans!!!!!


Vive le futbol!!!!

Drawing of Salma Hayek

I have a hard time keeping the paper clean, get fingerprints over everthing!
This is a full size drawing but I cropped its ince I'm too lazy to draw the emblem on the mexical flag and my shading of her satin skirt was terrible

NACHO LIBRE

One thing I noticed as we were walking in to see the movie was that the crowd was very multiracial.
Was was even better was that the entire movie theatre had busted out into fits of laughter, from beginning till end.
I won't reveal the plot but do take my advice and watch this. It is hilarious.
This is a really cute movie, made for all viewing audiences.
If you want a really good laugh then check this out, here Jack Black proves that he is as versatile an actor as they come!

GHANA 2: CZECH REP 0

No-one expected it but it happened!

Yes this was a fast paced fun to watch match. There were numerous bicycle kicks in Ghana's defense and almost every pass made it to the intended player!
The players were connected by the ball, you could almost see the rope of team spirit joining them. That's what is awesome, you play as a team,

Maybe Ronaldo should've realised this for Brazils' match, he really soured it with his lack of spirit, so far he must be the most dull player in this years world cup, anyways Ronaldinho more than made up for Ronaldo's lackluster performance.

Back to ghana V czech, the 1st goal was scored in the 2nd minute! talk about surprises.
Ghana played really well and the matched up to the czech rep.
This is the excitement that soccer is about.

Next up USA vs ITALY, lets wait and see, the odds are in favor of Italy but hopefully there'll be more surprises!

VIVE LE FUTBOL!!!

We lost one but we still eh Giving up

Soca Warriors put up a good fight! Good Match...

We really needed the two substituions in the end, but they weren't made. the players were tired and I do believe that Birchall needed to come off since he commented that he can't celebrate if they beat england, wtf! He sold out! Does anyone ever want a player like this?
we needed the substitution Birchell for Latapie!,
He was too busy checking out his idol English team and worshipping to play!
still I tip my hats to Shaka Hislop, lawrence, sancho, edwards, Yorke and all the Soca Warriors, we eh giving up!
Trini did score a goal but it was an offside, if only John was just one feet ahead!!!

Anyways I am still 1000000000 % behind my team, they put up a damn good fight and we still have a chance with the match against Paraguay
VIVE LE FUTBOL!!!!!

drawing

I redid the one of Naiomi Watts, this time with a lighter touch...
and also here's Hugh Jackman

now this is the excitement that The world cup is about!

If you didn't see the match between Tunisia and Saudi Arabia then make sure that you watch it!!!
vami and I had gotten off the couch and there was the final few minutes of play, I was looking at the timer and since I thought that there was only three minutes of stoppage time I was telling her he has 15 seconds to score the goal, then unbelievely the man butted the ball in! Now that was an incerdible play!
In the 93rd minute came the goal needed to tie match!!!
The players gave it their all and they didn't give up!
Now thats what football is about.
And the goal scored by the Saudi captain, wow, that man ran as if the devil himself were chasing him to land a solid goal!
The Saudi players got down on their knees and prayed too...which was cool.
this was an awesome match! The dedication on both sides was overwhelming!
DO WATCH IT.

In other news Spain made a pretty decent comeback to finally win a match with a 4:0 win over Ukraine.
I guess for those of us who are definately not geography buffs now is an awesome time to catch up on it!
Ukraine: Location- Eastern Europe, bordering the Black Sea, can be found between Poland, Romania, and Moldova in the west, while there is Russia in the East!
Tunisia: location-boardered by algeria on the west, libya on the east and the Mediterranean Sea on the North

new drawing

supposed to be Naiomi Watts, not really close but I choose this pic because of the opportunities for shading.

Just added johnny depp here

This is pretty cool!!!

Today Vami called me about a zillion times to commentate on the world cup, she also called me up to tell me about this, which is super cool! I think that we've caught the football fever!

GHOSTS...

Ever notice how Ghosts are always depicted as crazy. I guess that is why most people fear them, because they are dead and no longer bound to the rules and ties of society and the limitations of a body, they can behave in whatever manner they want,
take what they want, do whatever they want...they no longer care if people think that they are crazy.
Now going back to the limitations of a body, if we weren't limited by our body, lets say we can become intangible/invisible whenever we wanted,
and never have to fear punishment, what would one do?
Now take away society,this cage that traps the mind, what if it no longer matter where were were on the social ladder, how many of us would then thread the path of 'insanity' and quench the superego?

*correction Quench the ID, not superego

I cannot think of a title for this.

orkut fortune for today said
Today's fortune:
A well-directed imagination is the source of great deeds

So what if it isn't well directed?
and what do they mean by well directed, conforming and keeping imagination within the walls of society?

Pablo Coelho put this very nicely in "Veronkia decides to die"
There was a kingdom and one day an evil sorcerer decided to poison the village well so that the entire kingdom would go insane, so the next day everyone drank of the well except the king and queen since they had their own well. Consequently the entire kingdom was insane and the king tried to put back order in his kingdom but since his ministers and guards had also drank of the well, they thought that his behaviour was crazy and asked him to step down. The king was going to resign his post when his queen stopped him and told him to drink from the well too. So they both drank and then the kingdom became normal once gain to him and he was allowed to rule again, however the neighbouring kingdoms all thought that everyone in that particular kingdom was crazy.


I wonder how many of us, afraid to face society also drink of this well. The fear that keeps us within the boundaries of 'sanity'.
Wouldn't one relate culture as the poison in that well to a certain extent? We want a culture and we want to belong so much that when the thirst for companionship grows to an unbearable extent, or when those we love have already drank and we find ourselves alone, never understood then we take the water, ignoring our own well. For an example think about the movie Mississippi massala, here, although we are all humans society that we live in wants to define our thought and it builds a fear inside of us to go against this, some refuse to drink from the well while others gladly imbibe the poison and then try to force it on others.
I know that the movie is a bit of a bizarre example but think about it.

now applying this to society, religions and man, if you do not conform you are crazy right? Independent thought has been a stigma throughout history. Now apply this to man and decide what gives us the right to decide what is acceptable and what isn't.



Think about this story (note: its paraphrased ) and do please do read the book, it is awesome!

ceci est le pied!

Spending so much time online now that I actually have to wear the stupid specks!

rambling to avoid doing chores

one of the coolest gifts is a barnes and noble gift card!
wohooo, I got one just for being in the right place at the right time.
the student government association found themselves with too much extra cash...I love getting cool free stuff!!!
listen to this, the kid told me, listen we are giving away gift cards you just have to answer these questions and don't worry I'll give you the answers....he he heh, what else was I supposed to say, but HELL YEAH, where do I sign!
the hardest decision was deciding whether I wanted the book on contemporary magic or sketching (hey I need a hobby!!!), I opted for sketching.

so yesterday my package came, I am soo excited!
apart from my book on how to sketch I got another another calvin and hobbes comic book!!!!!!!!!!!! barnes and boble even sent me free coffee...now this is too much:D
so far I have attempted to draw my foot, we had lost electricity during the day and since that meant no internet , I was left with nothing else to do but sip cofee and stare at my feet.
It proved to be a welcome muse!!!!!
I really need help with shading though, if there is anyone out there who can assist me in this area please do direct me to help.

In other news I found this really cool way to save on my cell phone bill.
io downloaded adcalls and now I can use the pc to place calls to phones without ever touching the cell...HA HA CINGULAR! no more overage fees for me!!!
so people please do download this ..only problem is that you have a 10 minute limit, but if you're like me and can get to the point right away then this wouldn't affect you much, or you can simply readial after the 10 minutes are up.


I took this personality quiz on tickle that told me I am romantic, so I have been busying myself lately trying to act romantic since the test said that I am, I don't think that it has been working though, because the long walk on the beach usually turns into a gallop for me and the romantic dinner gave me heart burn!!!

In other news , I have been resisting the urge to bash my head into a wall due to the pressure that I am a girl and therefore should not be taken seriously since I can be placated easily and it is my duty to listen and never question.

been reading da vinci with a dictionary, I saw the movie before i read the book and now in reading the book I realise how truly genius the writer is.
I see elements of foreshadowing and the obvious ironly that builds the intensity of the plot!
I dunno what all the fuss is about but this is a sure as hell damn good read!

judging from my above comment I think that my choice of language just disqualified me for the psoition of NY times book review staff:D
