Memorial Day weekend is here! Yay, for us at the studio it means a good long 3 day weekend. Back in Bangalore (India), my friends who work for multi-national corporations (MNC) get Memorial Day off. Though it does make business sense to have a day off for these MNC’s, it doesn’t make sense to anyone else there as no one’s observing the real reason behind Memorial Day.

If one goes back to the roots of this day, it was first observed by formerly enslaved black people in South Carolina, honoring the Union soldiers who had fought for the preservation of the Union. That’s definitely a reason for humanity to celebrate and it doesn’t matter in which part of the world it’s observed. I wonder how many other cities outside the USA have a day off work?

These are some of the earlier concepts I made back in 2007. It’s about a team of nerdy footballers and their friends.

Roughed out something quick before jumping into my next assignment. I find it very relaxing to take a break and doodle. Nope, I don’t smoke.

Here are some of the prop designs used in Rock Mash. I decided to keep them very simple and stylized because they hardly get any screen time before they are all mashed to smithereens.

Feast your eyes on some concept development for Rock Mash, an upcoming interactive experiment where a tiny rock is let loose on the streets of a big city. Here’s one of the earlier splash screens.
