"Desire"

This could explain why I don't have a boyfriend. That's my head she's holding, by the way.
Update May 14: for those who couldn't tell from context, this is a SELF PORTRAIT.It is a cartoon about my own problems coping with my own desire. As I wrote elesewhere:
"The picture is of Desire. Specifically, amorous desire, mine. I was being tormented by desire to the point I couldn't sleep, and a friend suggested a draw a picture of it. She's holding a penis because that's what she wants, but she's also cut it off, because she (my Desire) is a vicious bitch. The head is mine, because, well you know what desire does to our heads. Her vagina is an eye because she sees everything through it, while her eyes are crazed spirals. The skulls represent all my failed relationships, or my ex-lovers - casualties of relationships Desire instigated herself. If I'd set out to draw Kali as Kali, she'd look different, but the picture is of Desire, who looks like that."

I've meant to ask you to do a version of Kali Ma! Guess I got my wish huh! Wow. Amazing -- at the Asram we'd shriek about her dancing upon the "world" with a self consious "ooops" afterwards. Very much along the lines of your piece here. Amazing!


 

yes, this could be the reason.

great cartoon by the way.


 

I would love to get this as a tattoo I think it is FAB!!


 

Help yourself, Mim. That goes for any of my images - they're all Creative Commons as far as burning them into your own flesh is concerned. Go crazy, all you tattoo fiends out there, just send me a picture when you're done.


 

=v= Wow, she's cute. Do you have her phone number?


 

Wow, that's pretty vicious. Very much in the right spirit of Kali!


 

Drat - I've forgotten the name of that comic, but she had the same eyes as your Kali Ma. Drat ... it's on the tip of my tongue.


 

I remember now - Hothead Paisan! Your Kali Ma reminds me of Hothead Paisan!


 

Homicidal Lesbian Terrorist! Except my Kali is definitely heterosexual.


 

wat is that bullshit??????


 

respect our culture........


 

very cool image, nina. it definitely captures kali's energy.


 

interesting and amusing. discovered via sepia mutiny.


 

Love it. Ignore the silly people who say it's "offensive," and the goober who gibbers something about "respecting our culture."

I think some people just really enjoy being offended. So you're doing them a favor. Keep it up!

It's playful, but it stays true to the perceived nature of what you portray.

I have a tattoo of Ganesha on my back. It's not a particularly cartoon-y one, but I've gotten shit for having it on my body (as if getting a tattoo of a god is somehow disrespectful...sheeze, I thought enough of Ganesha to get him permanently affixed to my body, okay?).

I think this is similar, but different. You're getting shit for being 1) non-desi, and 2) depicting Kali-ma in a less-than-serious manner.

Well, high time people took stuff less seriously. Good on, you.


 

You idiot !!! I challenge you to make fun of Jesus or Mohammed. You, are really a big blady hypocrisy.

You will be burned in Hell. You will regret for this one day.


 

how about some sexy cartoon of immaculate Mary and sexy cartoon of Mohammed's relationship with 6 year old Aisha


 

Hey Nina,

I shall provide you with some biblical and quranic verses, try doing some cartoons , good for your art.

biblical verses
Matthew 10.34 - Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 10.35 - For I am come to set a man at Variance against his father, and the daughter against the mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. 10.36 - And a man's foe shall be they of his own household. He that is not with me is against me.

* Luke 14.26 - If any man came to me, and hate not his Father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

* Deuteronomy 12.2 - Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their Gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and every green tree.

* Deuteronomy 13 - Idolaters to be put to death 13.6 - If thy brother, thy son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, of the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other Gods, which thou hast not known, nor thy fathers; 13.7 Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth; 13.8 Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him: 13.9 But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shalt be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hands of all people. 13.10 And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God.

Deuteronomy 32.24 - They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust. 32.25 - The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.

Numbers 31.17 - Now therefore kill every male among little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. 31.18 - But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.


Quranic Verses

1. A Muslim must not take a Jew or a Christian for a friend. (Chapter 5, verse 51).
2. Muslims must make war on non-Muslims. (Koran chapter 9, verse 73)
3. Allah was so disgusted with Jews that he transformed them into apes and pigs. (5:60-65; 2:65; 7:166)

Ask me for some more ideas in Bible and Quran


 

I beleive that better be your MOM, Nina, trying to make fun of peoples' culture this way!

I wonder, did u ever do a nude cartoon of Mr.JESUS H CHRIST, with his nude wife & daughters lap dancing for him, while the poor man hanging on that wooden cross with both hands nailed in? How would he releive himself? any guesses?


 

whoever you are, you have done very bad thing. No doubt u have done this OFFENSIVE thing, and I assure you that Real Hindus are not going to tolerate this kind of Defamation of Our Goddess Kali Mata & we will teach u a lesson.
Also We will do the same for Supporters of this Mad & Pervert Art(?).
If you do not remove this from your page, God is going to punish you in the HELL where u will go after your death. But here also Hindus will punish in their own way.
So beware and remove this immidiately.

Please note - Draw such painting of Muhammad so that Muslims will cut your head & also do same for Jesus, If u think u r a real artist.


 

hey nina u r a animal. way do u think ? y dont u draw a naked pic of ur mom...hey listen u guys if u cant respect other's culture atleast dont insult them


 

Nina I don't understand why you are showing your mother's nude photo to everyone. I think this definitely is your mother's desire, it is what your mother wants to look like.Others have tried to compare this with Godess Kali, this definetely does not look like Kali.


 

You are nothing but a peace of shit..

freedom of expression, never means nude dance in INDIA.

you must stop abusing any releagon now...


 

This actually shows reverence and captures the Dionesyian spirit of Kali very well. Those tame, simpering depictions of a saccharine Kali are the real desicration. Your other depictions of Hinduism are also sensitive and intelligent.

Only narrow minded fools who think they can put God in a box could object.


 

PLEASE DONT MISSED USED OF YOUR CRETURES.


TAKE IT SERIOUSALY....

DO YOU REALLY WANT TO START A BLOODSHED BETWEEN THE AMERICANS AND THE HINDUS ? WE HINDUS ARE NOT AFRAID OF A BLOODSHED FOR YOUR INFORMATION...FOR MANY CENTURIES WE HAVE BEEN HUMILIATED BY THE FUCKING BRITISH AND MUGHALS AND WE HAVE SUCCEED IN FUCKING THEM ALL OUT OF INDIA...SO BEFORE ANYTHING GETS WORST I SUGGEST THAT YOU STOP THIS CHILDISH ACT AND APOLOGIZE...OR ELSE FACE THE NEXT WORLD WAR...


 

I need following cartoon.

1. Your nude photograph.
2. Your photo graph while you have been fucked by a begger. Hears crazy right. But I want gimme that.
3. Your photo graph with your legs up and showing only the hole. and some body using that as a dust bin.

Let us see how best cartoonist you are.


 

I want a cartoon Mohammad fucking Mary.


 

Cartoon sgreat but how come your creativity is only limited to making fun of Hinduism!
You can certainly come up with a nice tatoo of Mohammed forcing himself on 12 year old Ayesha! try and capture his energy!
or 12 desciples having an orgy with Mary or even better for the gay guys out there, some homosexual action from the Church priests!

Show your art and draw your origins. That is, draw a pig fucking your mother hard and a dog licking her ass hole.


 

i can only feel pity for bloody fucker Nina.u r tired of drawing Jesus fucking ur mom and nude mary sucking ur dads cock.Now u can draw ur own pics with pigs if u dont find any. Insulting is the easiest thing anyone can do


 

Hey Nina....who the fuck u are....
Try to Respect one Culture...All religions and every culture will teach u the same.........

U fucking bitch...keep far from Indian tradition and culture...they will burn u....

If you feel intrested, can continue in ur own religion....

DON'T EVER DARE AGAIN......


 

Hi Nina,
Sorry to see that so many people have verbally assaulted you. After the whole incident, i just wanted to ask u one thing, ie why did u do this? Somebody wants this as a tatoo.. somebody wants a phone number.. and u call this as desire?
I really think u should have a talk with ur mother who carried you in her womb for 9 months and would have prayed daily to the godess for the wellbeing of you.
And u return her prayers to this world in this form???
Its time somebody told u this.
Nina, we hindus care a fuck about people like you. I suggest you roll up the painting and stuff it up your ass till it gives u an orgasm.. which was ultimately u wanted? or u get a orgasm when reading such hate mail? pls let us know.. we can suggest even better ways for you...


 

TAKE IT VERY SIRIOUSLY NINA THAT YOU ARE THE ONE OF THE RAREST CURRUPTED LADY I DONT WANT TO CALL U BITCH BECAUSE CALLING YOU BITCH MEANS INSULTING A BITCH


 

Nina, I totally dig your art. Pay no attention to the offensive comments posted below. Keep such art flowing..cheers

From a fan.


 

Hey Nina

If that's your head she's holding... then I have to ask the question... Is that your PENIS TOO?

That'll explain why you don't have boyfriend...
