Illustration Friday ...."Hybrid"

Hybrid - The Farmer Tree

Rooted to his soil,

He stays forever,

Indebted, exploited, helpless.

Illustration Friday ..."Jungle"

Jungle of  Dreams

In the depths of my mind,

Ideas and thoughts sublime,

Suspended in a mysterious realm,

Is my Jungle of Dreams.

Illustration Friday ..."Protest"

Raise a hand in protest

For the follies we make,

We have no one to blame, 

......but Nature.

The Uttarakhand floods - North India - A man made disaster.

Illustration Friday..."Urban"

Walls and rooms,

Rooms and walls,

High and low,

Small and tall,

Stacked in a huddle,

Part of an urban muddle.

Illustration Friday...."Swim"

Here is an illustration I did for a beautiful children's story..."The lost city under the Sunder Sagar"
The story was inspired by the tsunami of 26th December 2004 which hit the south east coast of India, causing widespread devastation.
Written by my friend Khursheed Gimi, it remains one of my favourite works.

Illustration friday..."Eye Glasses"

Mahatma Gandhi

To look through the eye glasses of a remarkable man,

Will I see the world as he did?

Illustration Friday ...."Yesterday"

Just like yesterday,

I picked my crayons.

Just like before,

I drew the Red Fort.

But this one will never be as stunning,

as the Red Fort I drew when I was five.
