Portfolio

The portfolio i put together very quickly...for my practical training application...click on the images for quality viewing..

The Blue Kite Shelter

Derived from the TRIANGLE, the BLUE KITE is a GEOMETRIC EXPRESSION in CONCRETE that reflects the VIBRANT BACKDROP of JODHPUR. The CONCRETE employed allows for a FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION with the FORM. The EXTROVERT GEOMETRY, the STRATEGIC SCREENS (Traditional JALIS) and OPENINGS, the ROOF DETAILS are all DIRECT REACTION to the LOCAL HOT AND DRY CLIMATE. The FLEXIBLE FOLDING WOODEN FURNITURE helps MAXIMIZE the SPACE UTILITY of a small space.

Baba Whaterson ?

After a lot of calvin and hobbes facial studies..i finally did this strip for that special someone (the one sitting on the well..and yes that guy in the goofy yellow tee is me).Bill Watterson is a legend.I began to comprehend now the sheer genius of art 'Calvin and Hobbes' is; that i grew up on.I would add the rough step-by-step process but that would be unfair to this as a present.Get something straight: im in NO way demeaning watterson(i didnt even credit myself in the strip if you notice) and this strip is to just show my love for his whole work and the person whom this is meant for.Traditionally pencilled and inked..grayscale and colours in photoshop.

"i progress..."- baba

BEEDI launched

not a bad start....eh?download the wallpaper at: http://idlebrain.com/download/nenumeekutelusa.html

kiosk design :delhi

I designed these kiosks; street furniture...(internet,atm,airconditioned,hawking/vending integrated) to be built in delhi. 3000 units tobe exact. The main revenue generation is from the advertising. Of the variations i liked three.and made presentations for two. The one in the videowas appreciated..but i liked the other two as well.

Beedi

Naming a design company is not easy...everything one can think of..is already taken.Case in point..BEEDI?? Baba Designs right..instead of the usual B.D...i thought naming it after the addictive tobacco joint...reflects my addiction to design..corny?vulgar?cannot go with that class of society?

frankly i dont care...it's catchy and my work speaks for itself..

pick anything but the ace

sangha picks the ace everytime...i stop when he says "stop"...the funniest part is the end where he puts his finger in between when im riffling through the deck and still picks an ace!

Coin Vanish

The best Raven coin vanish...that is a one rupee coin..sorry 'bout the bad video quality..impromptu video shot with a N73...

Magic Fingers

one of the best 'pick a card and reveal' stripper tricks i know...kudos to megha for the magic supplies

Coin bite

check this out..rachana shot it...

more beenz

rough teaser outlays...need to refine these more..captions,address,blah

sin city cover

When it comes to comic story-telling, frank miller is god.Was messin around in photoshop and made this sin city cover..thought it came out well enough to be posted.

Batman:Brown?

I long since wondered why no one used the shades of brown to depict batman.I have no problem with blues and grays but bats are majorly brown..and that never occured to anybody.Christopher nolan answered my question with the dark knight.Well here's my attempt at the brown knight.Also added is a tutorial which gives the key moves used to make it for intermediate photoshop users.

hell boy

here's the before/after of my hellboy sketch rendered in photoshop..

No Smoking:funny

Me and my classmate Sid made up these funny two way poster..part of manasara competetions...

watch steal

the best part about streetmagic is the pleasure of seeing the reactions on people's faces once the trick is performed on them...case in point: i removed the watch of my junior without her knowledge and revealed it through some material transmission mumbo jumbo...check out her reaction after seeing her watch..(also dont ask me why im wearing a santa hat..)

My first hummer attempt

Here's my first attempt at the hummer card trick in college...i did the same with my drivers' license with a cop..will post that very soon

yamudu:new

Like i said..the final ones would come out way better...

My funny life

The editors of this year's annual magazine of my college asked me to put in an article..so..instead of writing something...i thought i would give them a comical look on my college life.This strip would be the funniest to people from my college.Did'nt realise it until someone pointed it out to me..the above looks strikingly like sergio aragones' work...maybe all those years of readin MAD actually paid off...i think.

babamagic series1

this was one of my early streetmagic videos..called two card monte...the lack of a good cameraman strikes again as a glitch is captured by my junior who shot this..

beenz: final

well here's the coffee shop i designed comin up near the jubilee hills club..these views were done in sketchup(very handy for 3d model quickies)..this is the final look after a lot of changes*
*change[v. changed, chang·ing, chang·es v.tr.]:anything remotely to do with vaasthu.

Yamudu

some pilot poster for a cousin of mine the final ones will come out way better...did this one in exactly the span of two southpark episodes.The above is the before and after of photoshop.

Beenz

The coffee shop i designed at jubilee hills is called beenz.Overlook the places where i spelt it as beens(lack of sleep tends to make one do that). These are the logos i cooked up. I'm confused as people like different ones.Open to criticism.
