Adding colour to birthdays..

Hola!


We have been busy working.. after all, it is one of those times of the year when a lot of birthdays drop on us. Year after year after year, gifting can be quite the confusing task. For all the birthday girls there are quite a few regulars on the gifts' list, take these for instance:
collages- gifted
clothes- gifted
accessories- gifted
perfumes- gifted more than once.
And where the guys are concerned, shirts, watches, perfumes, play station games are more passe than we can digest.
So what should you do? Well, take a clue from two of our own Shoe Stoppers Anita and Nivedita who did something really cool for their friend Sonakshi's birthday. What? Well, they got her customized shoes, of course! 

And this is what the shoes were like. These special pair of shoes had everything doodled that the birthday girl loves: cupcakes, Kenny from south park, bugs, a guitar and lots more! cool, ain't it? Who wouldn't like a gift so well thought out apart form being really, really cool? So next time you are in a soup, confused about what gift to get, you have one brilliant idea here.
We'll be back soon!

Oh shoot.... it's 0.55am!

Hola!

So it's 00:55 am on the clock and here I am juggling my Internet and painting addiction. The pair of shoes I'm working on right now (I'm not going to say what, good try) are proving tougher to be designed than I thought it would be. Such tiny details are required to be filled in that my size zero brush is proving to be quite colossal for its otherwise sleek personality.
Let's hope I get it right in the end. After all, it is going to be someone's gift! Gods of art, are you listening?

Art is never finished, only abandoned.

Art is never finished, only abandoned.

And our world which was beautifully adorned with the art of Maestro MF Hussain has only been abandoned, not finished. Every season comes to an end, and the season of MF Hussain’s beautiful life has also passed. Since we are artists ourselves, we truly understand the value and the nature of an artist as great as him.

A winner of the Padma Shri and Raja Ravi Verma awards, MF Hussain has been painting since the 1940’s. Known as the Picasso of India, he has religiously worked for over half a century in the field of art and even made artistic cinema for his audiences.

This, message is truly and wholly for Maqbool Fida Hussain. Let’s remember him, revere him and hope he rests in artful peace. After all, this is all an artist would want.

Hope the Indian master of art rests in colourful peace. Amen.

Keeping the art alive,

Devika Bharadwaj
