Never Should have been Cancelled!

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
"Now and Again was an American television series that aired in the US from September 24, 1999 until May 5, 2000 on CBS. The story revolves around the United States government engineering the perfect human body for use in espionage, but not being able to yet perfect thebrain. In an attempt to get the project off and running, they take the brain of overweight family man Michael Wiseman, who is killed in a subway accident. Given a new life, Michael is kept in an apartment where he is trained by government experts, led by Dr. Theodore Morris, in the art of espionage. Despite his new life and new abilities, Michael longs to return to his wife Lisa and daughter Heather, who are themselves discovering that not all is as it seems with Michael's death. The show mixed action with comedy (particularly in the relationship between Dr. Morris and Michael), and focused largely on Michael's emotional connection to his family."

Now And Again was one of those awesome Cancel-Syndrome affected TV Shows which got cancelled after the first season. The reason was stated by CBS Channel as 'unjustifiable expense of the program'. This was one of the shows I enjoyed in the evenings on televisions...when I used to be just a kid who enjoyed nothing more than Friends and The Simpsons. Now And Again had an excellent cast and the chemistry between the characters were awesome and touching. After the season finale I never knew that CBS had cancelled the show and i thought AXN had just stopped broadcasting it entirely.

I had been tranced by the theme song of Now And Again...over and over again there's not a place in the vast Internet I hadnt searched for the song 'Gimme a Sign' Performed by Ariel Ryder & Narada Michael W...though all I got was snippets of the original songs..not the full version. Been searching for it ever since when I stumbled upon this video on Youtube which had this song as the BG Music..I ripped it off the video and enhanced it to create this mp3 for fellow fans of the show as well as the music.

Here's the link to the mp3 file:

Digital Art: Going Beyond!

Going Beyond the Water and to the skies!
Jellyfishes creeps me out...PERIOD.
But thats no excuse not to paint it digitally...
Ever wondered what'd happen if those jellyfishes took off to the skies? Nothing much other than we, on the surface, be often stung :P

'Submerged' had been a WIP since June 8 2010.
I had no idea where to go with it...up until today.
I wanted to paint a creature or a monster or a surreal painting of a drowning girl.
But I went for a more a conceptual one.

WhizKid - Cel-shaded-esque Logo

I have always been obsessed with Cel-shaded graphics. The first time I played XIII, the time I saw Scanner Darkly and recently playing Borderlands...the novelty never faded.
ThinkCaps (always wanted one) also amused me when I was a kid...I remember reading a comic strip of a little kid who used his thinkcap to escape outta sticky situations. Dont remember what the comic strip was called though.
This logo is a tribute to both the ThinkCap & the cel-shaded world.




This is the non-Cel-shaded one.

Caret Logo

Caret - "what you have been missing!"
I did a bit of research before doing Caret logo.
The 'Caret' as it seems has different meaning and usage though the most common one is used in proof reading. Inserting some words/text in between two other words/text is what Caret is used for.

Injecto Logo - Prototype

2 days back asked injecto me to design him a logo.
I started working on some concepts and this was one of them. I incorporated some music notes in the stuff inside the syringe though there is another one without them too.
Check out his remixed track @ BeatPort

LOST Typography!

"LOST... Where the fine Line between REAL and UNREAL fades..." Ah Whatever!
LOST is the second of my Typography and I hope to do alot more.

Done, with inspirations from LOST (series) oozing from last night, and an accidental design concept from a recent design tip acquired from vipindhanurdharan.
This was unexpected, unbelievably done in minutes and for me it looked inexplicably good...leaving me with an unquenchable thirst to design more!
This LOST piece could be considered a fan art piece for LOST Series coz I have been seeing a lot ot recently. OR it could just be visual...as the subtitle suggests...'LO' & 'ST' is LOST in between the fine line that defines REAL & UNREAL. Choose what you may.... :D

I Love GOTHAM

I know I have been over-using Gotham font alot.
Browse through my Gallery and you'll know yourself.
But what can I do?

I LOVE GOTHAM!
It all started with INCEPTION. I started noticing how beautiful the Gotham font was...then I went over to seeing it all over the net. Somehow Gotham was considered the new Helvetica. I saw the font extensively used, mostly on movie posters of Gran Torino, Invictus, Hereafter (all the 3 movies are directed by Clint Eastwood and the posters designed by The Cimarron Group. Ever since that I have been in love with the font. Somehow it made the design look cool just adding the font.
Many people still live in the Helvetica era and I havnt seen much people using Gotham...either coz they dont like it better than Helvetica or maybe its paid and rare to find
The Color pun is intended deliberately! (Guess what the PUN
is?)
This is my very first typography.
