Sanjay Patel's Fun Indian Exhibit at Asian Art Museum

I just had a really lovely birthday :)  I was jokingly told that I was past my prime this year, but it doesn't feel so bad so far.

Michael took me to the Asian Art Museum which still turns me into a giddy kid.  Aside from their usual exhibits, they had the Maharaja exhibit.  The highlight for me was the work by Sanjay Patel that was being displayed all over the museum.

Sanjay's extensive work illustrated many Hindu dieties as well as a Maharaja's parade, and more.  The works are visually fun, intricate, and exciting.  They are a bold, fun modern take on classical material, which he lovingly handles.


His work also reminds me of the visual storytelling of the Samurai Jack series.


Love it!

sketch of Dani

Did a quick sketch of a friend who is on the mend from an injury.  As an apology for not finding the time to visit and also because I was so happy that she looked so well when I saw her. 

This is the style I've been gravitating towards lately.  I think it turned out pretty cute.
