Sound Horn Please

My first post! Hop. Skip. Jump. Happiness abounds. After gestating for months on silly aspects like header size and background colour, I'm finally writing! 

My first post had to of course be in line with the title of my blog, the ubiquitous 'Sound Horn Please' or 'Sound Horn OK' seen on Indian roads.  While trying to come up with a blog title- something that involved design but was still Indian at heart, the colourful Indian truck art is what went pop in my head!





 I LOVE the vibrancy on this one!

 The harbinger of good luck in India-go mata


Vineeta Nair, the woman behind the blog 'artnlight', which I have been an ardent follower of, for a few years now, has posted wonderful, colourful, vibrant (phew! I've run out of adjectives!) images of truck art on the streets of Kerala and Mumbai. Check it out!

    Divya, what is the source for these truck images. I had found them ages ago, and copied them on my computer, never knowing then that I would be blogging later. I made coasters using these images, and If I got the original source, I could put up the tutorial for the coasters. Please help me out if you can. I like the vibe to your blog, and I'm signing up to follow! :)
    Welcome to blogland! :)

    @ Vineeta- Thanks! And I hope it does- excited and keeping my fingers crossed!

    @GB- Same here- I copied them on my home computer ages ago, not knowing I would turn from a silent blog follower to a blogger myself! I have been trying to back track and find sources. Its been a difficult task. I'll email you the sources that I have unearthed.
    And thanks for signing up :)
