Heylo...every body... am very very happy..following my bday celebration, I am getting a happy news. I have won prizes in Online International Painting Competition held by artshowforkids.com. I have been participating in this for the past 1 and half years and so far I have won prize 4 times.

This time it is special for 2 reasons. 1 is that the show was titled "Barrack Obama", it feels as if getting a recognition from himself. 2nd the painting depicts Indo-Pakistan friendship and I am happy that this painting was selected

2nd show is Art is in the air, where I submitted a picture of Feather Collage depicting an abstract figure of Mother & Child (me and my mom)..

Kamal Uncle 50 50

s

12th August 2009 is a day significant in the Indian Film Industry, as the Living Legend Dr. Kamal uncle completes 50 years of his career in the Industry. It is an uphill task for someone to survive in a career for 50 years and especially cinema. Kamal uncle has done it and we met him on that day with a special series of painting dedicated to him.

Uncle liked it very much and he autographed it for me.

My New Works

Dear Friends,

It's been a long time..that I uploaded something on my blog...Yday I was trying my hands on some different mediums and techniques. My dad got me some color chalks made in Thai from the Thailand Exhibition in Chennai, which is said to be dust free and I was very excited.

The immediate thing I did was to take a Slate and draw on it. I like Power Puff Girls and I drew that. This medium is interesting.. my Dad says we can use that to draw on floor in Roads etc., as the road side artist do..it is an appreciated art in foreign countries..but here people use that art to beg..sad...

Then the below picture is a landscape painting combining two techniques. One is masking and the other is spray painting. I masked the area of images using a masking tape and then used a tooth brush to spray the unmasked area.. after a while I removed the masking tape and painted the image area..it has come out fairly well, but the tape medium was not a right choice.. I prefer rubber solution instead of tape...

On-line Competition Prizes

Hi Friends,

It has been long time that I posted some news. Today I am going to write about On-line competition and my prize winning entries. Artshowforkids is a website which hosts online competition for kids and sells the works of child artists. I have been participating in this for the past one year and 3 of my paintings have won prizes.

My painting titled 'Climate Change' won the 1st prize. This is a digital drawing to convey message to reduce pollution. I recommend using eco-friendly fuel (made out of natural things, like bio-diesel etc) which will help reducing polluting smokes, thus reduce Global Warming.

My Painting titled 'Save Trees' also won 1st prize recently. This is also a digital drawing again on Global Warming. Cutting down trees contributes to Climate Change and thus affecting the rain fall, here I wish to request the man kind to save tress.

My other painting titled 'Mother and Child' for the theme 'A Greener Safer Planet' won 3rd prize. This is a feather-craft which has an image of a Happy Mother & Child living in a greener safer environment.

for more details you may check the Ended Public Art show column in www.artshowforkids.com.

I also wish to inform that on 8th july, 2009 my interview in Sun T.V was telecasted for a program 'Saadhikka pirandhom' (born to achieve). I will soon post it in you tube for you to watch.

S.H. Raza or Syed Haider Raza (born 22 February 1922) is an eminent Indian artist who has lived and worked in France since 1950, but maintains strong ties with India. S.H.Raza is better known as the ‘master of colors’. Raza is one of the distinguished Indian artists of the century. His works basically include real and abstract landscapes blossomed with vibrant colors.

His works are mainly abstracts in oil or acrylic, with a very rich use of color, replete with icons from Indian cosmology as well as its philosophy . He was awarded the Padma Shri and Fellowship of the Lalit Kala Akademi in 1981 and Padma Bhushan in 2007.

At a Dec 2006 auction, a painting by Raza reportedly sold for US $1.4 million.

Inspired by Rasaz's style I have painted an abstract series today.. let me know your comments.

My 9th show - Tiny Pixels

Tiny Pixels is a digital art exhibition and is dedicated to revere the role of Technology in ART. The show consisted of paintings done in digital medium and printed using technology. Thiru P.C. Sreeram, ace Cinematographer & Director has kindly consented to be the chief guest for the occasion. Guest of Honors were director thiru. Pandiraj, Sriram and Kishore of Pasanga fame.

National Technology Day is a very special day for Indian science since 1999. It is so significant because India achieved a huge technological advancement on the day. The first, indigenous aircraft “Hansa-3” was test flown at Bangalore on this day. Not only this, India also performed successful test firing of the Trishul missile on the same day. India also executed three successful nuclear tests, carried out at Pokhran, in Rajasthan May 11.

8th Show - A painting movement

The one thing I am for is 'Love' and I hate is 'War'. I feel very sad when I see innocent people being killed in war, especially Children. On March 7,2009 there was a painting movement held in Chennai to request the world to Stop War and declare Peace. Eminent artists in Chennai participated in this and I felt blessed to be a part of it. Journalist Mr. Madhan was the chief guest of the Occasion and he appreciated my work. He complimented my Handwriting as well.
