A thought for the day for an immigrant creative

Today yet another weekend day after a recharge at the end of the weekdays mill, I sit pondering upon a few visualizations while chasing a deadline. It happens to be very appropriate... a subject so real... being an immigrant professional for over a decade now and having the honor to get first-hand experience in working and living amongst a multinational society.

Living in a foreign country as a foreigner is in my opinion, a hit and miss situation because nobody can be proud of enjoying lasting associations or friendships as it is a society that is coming in and out. (That is why I used the word "transitional".

As I create my pieces it brings back some mixed memories of the past, of people I have come across...Of the good people who come and go and the good people who have adopted nasty habits perhaps to survive... to me these survivors whether in the right or wrong, stay longer. Multinational societies are excellent but capitalism becomes the word of the hour... So in these times of global citizenship I make these drawings from my experience as an artist, professional, executive while working in various parts of the world. Every experience ironically speaks the same language because at the end of the day most of our interactions are with human beings irrespective of creed, cast, race, gender or age.

In my opinion this scenario has given a lot of learning but has come as part and parcel with unbelievable challenges for each of us.

Tune in for my take how I tried to live realistically in such a harsh but exciting world away from my home.

Adding spice to our daily work!. My Technical Painting Days

Folks folks!!! This is an exciting cry from my studio because this day... I might say that am in the middle of volumes of sketches and reference images in front of me....essentially doing my "Dream Project"...for the third time in my years in this industry.

I love doing Scientific or tech. drawings especially when a client comes to me and says he/she wants it as an actual painting....with the freedom to use anything....paints, photoshop, 3D or vector drawing software.

So am on my way to do such a piece...

How lovely it is for a change to actually re-learn our science sessions at school...which we may have almost forgotten ....to be able to renew what one learnt years ago and update with todays inventions...urging me to make my artistic representation of each of it at every step....What a great way to brush up my brain cells ... A chance which rarely came by....now overjoyed to be in that moment of nostalgia and pleasant deja vu.

Isn't this certainly an up-side to being in the creatives-business? There is a kind of getting back some reward while imparting and serving the society.

Do keep yourself updated on my youtube channels for video and animation born out of projects of such nature. In demonstrating these in my social media, I hope it would help you with some ideas on how to enjoy yourselves too while working in todays grind...I feel that no matter what field you maybe in. :o). Think of things to beat boredom at your daily job.... Have a chirpy weekday!!

Ciao then for now.
