See The Line Walk

It is said that drawing is taking a line for a walk. If so, you'll be amazed how far it travels in the hands of this self taught, talented woman.

Hasale Mañoso Jayme doesn’t use a pantograph ,  a triangular scale, or draws graphs on her reference shots. Just four things: a pair of eyes, glasses, her hands and a pencil. She looks at the subject, draws freehand, and with the simplest materials, manages to come up with these stunning pieces.

Easy? No. Brilliant? Absolutely.

 This 70 year old lady simply inspires the pursuit of innate gifts bestowed by the Creator. The life in her works undeniably spring from the hopeful life she lives: surviving breast cancer, widowhood, and the rough and tumble of life in God's great grace. She is my aunt, my mother's sister. 

 

 

Almost everyone wants to be famous for five minutes and will fight for one shot at any opportunity that bears the title "Got Talent". 

With Hasale, there is no need for such.

All the love.

Hukay-Dat-Baul-Month

I never thought that one day, a 'baul' would be synonymous with the word 'hard drive'. 

February seemed a beautiful month to check out hard drives and old files, and here's what I found:

A treasure I have always loved, its a pencil sketch i did in '97 (?) during my advertising days at Tronco Advertising. 

Everybody talks about attaining balance, but it seems the subject truly lives that perspective, eh?

More hukay later.
