Getting to Assisi....invitation to all

I've been invited to an Artist's residency in Assisi, Italy this November. It is my dream to go. The programme is not funded and I'm having a show at the end of this month, to help me get to Assisi. There will my paintings of all sizes, old and new and suitable for everyone.....even frames from my animation films! There will even be a little bit of piano playing and music thrown in, so do come!

4*N of the Equator

I have finally uploaded my animated film "4*N of the Equator" on youtube.

Here are some stills from the film.

The film was inspired by an ancient tradition of marrying the Neem and Pipal trees in India. 

Two strangers on an island, begin to communicate before they meet under a full moon, kiss, embrace and become one tree.

Tiger dream. 2004

This year I came in close contact with tigers in the wild in Bandhavgarh, Madya Pradesh. India. I encountered a large male tiger and 3 tiger cubs. It reminded me of a tiger dream that I had years ago, which I remembered having written and drawn in my sketchbook.

I found that dream in a page from a sketchbook in 2004. Here it is.

Almost never
