Fabric swatches printed on linen-cotton canvas that I just received from Spoonflower which can be seen on http://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/1900736
True to their reputation, spoonflower delivered in quality and speed and the print is now available as wallpaper, fabrics or wall decals.
It's been an eventful few weeks and I apologize for ignoring WordPress as days turned swiftly into weeks of no uploads. Here's a glimpse into a rather exciting project to make up for it. Converting doodles from my earlier post into a fabric repeat, I've been busy experimenting with swatches on www.spoonflower.com. It's an awesome site where you can print, buy or sell a wide array of custom fabrics, wallpapers and wall decals. My entire experience with them has been extremely positive so far. Will be sure to share the fabric swatches on a post soon as I receive them. Count down begins!:)
It isn't easy to imagine a world without the high-speed automobiles and airplanes we now take for granted. It's fascinating to think of how what constitutes "fast" has been constantly redefined through the ages and continues to be with every passing day. In the 1800's a stagecoach which could travel at 8 or 9 mph, and a small locomotive which could move twice as fast were amongst the most speedy forms of available transport, accessible only to the affluent.
Today's post is a series of notebook sketches tracing the evolution of transport. 
A small 'lets cheer up" doodle done this morning for my almost four-year old niece when she needed her spirits lifted after being hit by the Wednesday morning blues!:)
"Just living is not enough. One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower."- Hans Christian Andersen
Not having access to the internet/ television / telephone these last few days (peaceful and painful at once!) gave me an opportunity to reflect upon several memories. Often, it felt as if days stretched on endlessly and time stood still. Made me reminisce about an incident in Ahmedabad, India when I battled insane traffic to reach an art exhibition only to be stopped by a lazy herd of cows who had decided to settle down in the middle of the street for their afternoon siesta. No amount of cajoling would tempt the holy animals away from their space and everything around came to a grinding halt. Once again, time stood still.
How many cows can you spot hidden in this herd?
