Here are 10 images I recently illustrated for an upcoming magazine cover on the topic, Terror. I had in mind the idea of Rorschach ink blots. <http://www.flickr.com/photos/venantius/> Set 1 large http://www.flickr.com/photos/venantius/3131675114/sizes/o/
Set 2 large http://www.flickr.com/photos/venantius/3130845165/sizes/o/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/venantius/ Its not just the parents who could get their children to do the same, but anyone with a few rupees to buy some paint and a wild interpretive imagination. Just give yourself a theme, drop paint, fold the paper, and press to spread the paint out. Or drop ink, or black tea on a sheet of paper to create forms. You end up with an image; then see what your mind finds in it or assigns names to forms it discerns, or even seeks. Take the images to your favorite bar and analyze the forms over some booze; or with the motorcycle pilot, ferry operators, kulfi, samosa chat, or atharwalla; or in the confessional (pass it to Fr. Confessor through the front), and just perhaps to the janma kundali guy or bhot as the case may be. Hehehehe. All, have a good remainder of the year. Remember to make changes to sef if you do make your own blots. Blot out the old, blur in the new -- blots. venantius j pinto
