Creative Art Experiments and Custom Sketching

I spent 15 years trying to make things look perfect. Somewhere along the way, I realized that 'perfect' is often boring. This cluster is a collection of the moments where I decided to break my own rules.

Why the Experiments?

When I'm not working on commissioned oil portraits, I'm usually testing new ways to see a face.

• The Speed Challenges: You'll see pieces like my 30-minute Teachers' Day portrait or 15-minute pen scribbles. These are about capturing the essence of a person before the clock runs out.
• The 'Jugaad' Factor: Whether it's using coffee and milk to create a liquid reveal, or drawing a portrait using only the letters of a name, I love working with what's on my desk.
• Optical Illusions: My spiral sketches or double-sided paper roll portraits aren't just tricks—they are a way to make the viewer pause and look closer.

Can I do this for you?

While these pieces are my creative outlets, they reflect the core of my service. If you want a portrait that breaks the mold—perhaps a caricature for an invite, a stylistic sketch, or something that blends traditional techniques with a fun, modern twist—I’m ready. I don't follow a cookie-cutter process. We look at your reference, we talk about the vibe you want, and we create something that actually feels like you. No corporate templates, just honest work.
