Hyderabad Lit Fest • A Reel with glimpses from this event the last weekend (the event itself was a three day thing). Thanks to @thenrbevents for the opportunity to exhibit my work at "Meet the Artist" on Saturday. Since my artist friends were participating, I was there on both the days. @mangopenciler2.0 had displayed his work on Sunday, and @the.treasuretrunk.360 and @the__purplecanvas had done live drawing, and I also joined in, I painted with coffee, did scribble art and did a sketch with charcoal. Got to surprise someone with their drawing too. It was nice to meet @rajamamidanna nd @standupsanto, and I also bought a copy of @atwimbook which was launched at the Festival. #withgalaxy #s22 #vlog @hydlitfest #karthikabhiram #boireeltime #Reels #hellohyderabad

𝐇𝐲𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐝 𝐋𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐅𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥 • Last Day • Visited @hydlitfest today as an audience member, since @mangopenciler2.0 was displaying his artworks as part of "Meet the Artist" and @the__purplecanvas was sketching Live. Both of them were inviting audience to participate as well so I was able to try my hand at scribble art and charcoal too (results in Slide 2 — Michael Scott for the scribble work and the same reference image of @reshmakadvath for the charcoal one). Bought a few copies of @kishorkrishnamoorthi's Concorde zine and what I think was the penultimate copy of @atwimbook which had a launch event today. You can go to their page to order a copy if you wish. Also met @rajamamidanna and @standupsanto. A nice day overall! #karthikabhiram @samsungwithgalaxy #S22

𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭 • 𝐇𝐲𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐝 𝐋𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐅𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥 • Thanks to @thenrbevents I got the opportunity to be part of NRB's Youngistaan Nukkad (feels good to still have the 'young' descriptor attached to me 🙂) at Hyderabad Literary Festival today.I had a stall for myself and had a set of my sketchbooks on display as part of their "Meet the Artist" event. It was so nice to there with fellow artist friends, and many thanks to all who visited.Post the event, got to visit @iharishs's @beyondinks office, and got to experiment with some of the alcohol inks. I made three artworks today, the coaster decorated with alcohol inks being one.@the.treasuretrunk.360 was my stall neighbour and was doing Live Drawing using coffee as a medium. I borrowed a brush and some coffee from her and drew an ice cream cone, which is a reference to the "Bing Chilling" meme (@johncena eating ice cream and speaking in Mandarin as part of F9's promotions).Also, I got to do the "drawing of a stranger" thing today, like @devonrodriguezart! @marikanti_sharanya's sister was a visitor to my stall. She asked if I could make a drawing of her sister as a surprise, which I did. Thanks to @kamalkirang for capturing those.It was a very nice experience today and I'll be there again tomorrow since @mangopenciler2.0 will be there presenting his works, and @the__purplecanvas will be sketching Live.You can swipe through for the pictures from today. Also, can you count how many sketchbooks I had on display?#karthikabhiram @hydlitfest @the_nations_rock_beat

Pathaan (2023)Directed by Siddharth AnandWatched "Pathaan" yesterday at Cinepolis DSL Mall Uppal and had an awesome time! As one can make out from the trailer, the movie pits agent Pathaan (Shah Rukh Khan) against rogue agent turned mercenary Jim (John Abraham), who has a plan to attack India. The multiple flashbacks tell you the characters backstories and just when you get the feeling that the script (Shridhar Raghavan) is getting too convoluted, things get tied back together.There's nothing here we haven't seen before, elements from the Marvel Cinematic Universe in more ways than one, a dash of Michael Bay, a bit of Mission: Impossible, James Bond, even a little bit of Lokesh Kanagaraj and Prashant Neel. But it's all mixed well with a fast pace, crowd pleasing elements, very slick production values, a nice music score, so that you'll ignore and forgive the occasional silliness. The movie delivered 100% of what it promised at least for me, especially in terms of action. The action scenes were great, though as I remember, "War" had more effective action (I think that movie was bloodier than this one hence better). But no matter, the screen presence of the two leads were great, the villain's motivation was clearly setup, Deepika was great and I had a grand time despite the flaws.There are some clever meta jokes and references too. I had a huge grin on my face at the end of it all. Bring on more entries in the now labelled YRF Spy Universe!I've added this to my Best of 2023 List, Tier 2. Also, this is the first movie this year for which I'm wearing my t-shirt with my Movies of 2023 artwork (this time though, all the movies I drew are releasing in the first half of the year only, there's nothing beyond July). I drew SRK as Pathaan from the movie, the drawing is done with 0.5 mm 4B mechanical pencil on A5 Brustro sketchbook.

AI Generated • RRR Posters as painted by H R Giger • Congratulations to RRR for the Oscar Nomination for Best Song! I had this idea to combine RRR with something very different, so thought it would be interesting to prompt the AI with RRR in the style of artist H R Giger. I think these are all quite abstract and one can't see much of a link to RRR but they are very interesting images all the same. Generated with PlaygroundAI via Stable Diffusion. This time, I was able to avoid the repeated elements in the images because I kept the image generation size at 512 × 512 and then upscaled them by 4X.#karthikabhiram #aiartwork #aiimage #aigenerated #aiart #aigeneratedimages #playgroundai #stablediffusion #rrr #naatunaatu #academyawards #hrgiger

I was sent a Reel on beard trimming and since I follow a slightly different process I thought I’d make one of my own. Here it is, I think you can also enjoy it for the the ASMR aspects 😀 I was using the phone screen as a mirror 😀 The brand of trimmer is Hatteker as also seen in a previous Reel I posted. #karthikabhiram #shotoniphone #grooming #boi #bornoninstagram #boireeltime

Lunch at @churrolto Hitech City • 22 Jan 2023 • The last two Reels I posted were on the Workshop conducted by @saltandsambar on Storytelling through Comics and the Artist Talks session she conducted in the evening with @theartfultalesbypavani. I was shooting photos and video in both these, but in between the two events, we had a quick lunch at Churrolto. This was very close to the venue and since I've been to Churrolto many times, it was an ideal option. #karthikabhiram #Boi #boireeltime #Reels #churros #pizza #pasta #food #hellohyderabad #Hyderabad
