The Freedom, captured!!
I was too young for this idea :).
It started in 10th standard. My father always supported me and he always used to say "You are free to do whatever you want". I had a great wish to become a cricketer I had even achieved a quite a good reputation in local leagues and zonals. But, my dad clearly said "NO" to this wish. I started feeling I'm a free bird but within the frames, frames of my dad's vision. Good that I got a good medium to vent out my anger. The picture is out of my own imagination. The pigeon represents the freedom and the frame of the picture represents its boundary. I left the painting half done in 10th and finally finished it in the final year of engineering (almost 6 years after it started).
As I said, I was too young for this idea and today, I completely agree my dad's decision.

"Diversity in University" Yeah!! if its college fest every group has their own T-shirt representing their own culture. This painting actually started as a T-shirt design which transformed to a painting, and then transformed back to T-shirt design. If the class is not interesting I would open the last page of my book and start scribbling this. I'm proud be one from Udupi and Yakshagana was the right theme to represent Udupi's culture. The design is out of my own imagination and its done on a A1 size sheet with water colour as the medium.
Trivia: Only there members wore this T-shirt (Prads, Deepak and OK G HAS THE ANSWER).
Don't bring it down to finger count
June 4th 2009, my colleague came to me and said we plan to display some good messages for world environment day in office so please come up with some art work to office tomorrow. I would have been happy if I were allowed to go home early for that reason. I left office at 9 pm and reached home around 9.45. Still, I wanted to do something for the cause. This is the idea I got.
The ambigram
It all stated after watching the movie angles and demons. Till then I had no idea that someone could play around with alphabets to that extent. From the moment I saw it in the movie my brain was on work to implement my name in ambigram. I came home started working on it immediately. Morning I was ready with my version of ambigram.

Ambigram in kannada
I wanted to improvise this time with the ambigram. I thought how bout an ambigram in kannada. Yes I managed to create on in kannada and probably the first one in kannada. Not sure though. I will continue to believe it to be the first till someone tells me its actually not.

Painting it the other way
I was looking for something to draw and I was not able to finalize on a picture. Somehow, I found a picture and got a print out in the office. I went to collect the print out. When I was back, my colleague who was on leave for over a week was in office and the crowd was aroud her. She was distributing here "Ranga Pravesha" invitation. She gave me one. The moment I saw it I said to myself "forget the print out this is going to be your next work". The painting was done on a black A4 size sheet using white and gray shades using poster colours as the medium. The challenging part was, being familiar with charcoal colours I'm used to identify and draw the darker shades of picture. But here I had to identify the highlights of the picture and paint them.
Generally, when we are drawing or painting we draw the shades and not the highlights. This painting is done the other way.
