Hand-Painted Custom Apparel and Art
I see every jacket, shoe, and shirt as a blank canvas waiting for a story. No computers, no prints—just 100% hand-painted art from my studio in Old Delhi.
This custom-painted Adidas hoodie is a tribute to the vibrant energy of Indian truck art, created for a special project with designer Aaquib Vani. I meticulously hand-painted every detail, from the bold lettering of 'The Original' to the intricate floral and geometric patterns, blending a classic brand with my signature style.
A true celebration of Indian truck art on a jacket. This piece is packed with iconic elements like the 'Horn Please' slogan, majestic peacocks, and multi-lingual text, all hand-painted in dazzling colors. It’s a wearable piece of desi pop culture.
This denim jacket features a hand-painted design inspired by traditional Pichwai art. I depicted the sacred cow, Kamdhenu, surrounded by blooming lotuses, bringing a touch of timeless Indian heritage to modern fashion. The details on the sleeves and cuffs complete the narrative.
Your favorite Bollywood legends, hand-painted right onto your sneakers. Here, I've captured the classic charm of Dev Anand and a golden-era actress on a pair of canvas shoes, turning everyday footwear into a piece of cinematic memorabilia.
A close-up look at my hand-painting process shows the precision and care that goes into each brushstroke. Here, I am adding fine details and color gradients to the 'Original' hoodie, building up the layers to create a rich, three-dimensional effect.
This jacket was a special commission connecting two cities, Nagpur and Amsterdam, through art. I used my calligraphy skills to paint the city names in three different scripts: Devanagari, English, and Urdu, set against a backdrop of bold, truck art-inspired graphics.
About Featured
When you commission a hand-painted piece, you get durable, wearable art. I use professional-grade fabric acrylics and seal every design with a water-resistant varnish. This ensures that your sneakers or denim jackets can handle daily wear, sunlight, and mild splashes without the artwork fading or cracking.
My Process
My studio in Bazar Matia Mahal, Old Delhi, is where traditional cinema hoarding techniques meet modern personal style. Whether it is a pair of canvas sneakers with vintage Bollywood portraits or a denim jacket with intricate Pichwai motifs, the process starts with a conversation about what matters to you.
Technical Quality
I treat every garment as a serious project. For denim, I focus on heat-set painting so the design remains flexible and wash-safe. For leather or synthetic sneakers, I use specialized primers to ensure the paint bonds properly to the surface.
Languages and Stories
My work connects cultures and languages. I paint in Hindi, Urdu, English, Arabic, and Farsi. I can turn a piece of clothing into a global bridge, like the jacket I painted for a client connecting Nagpur and Amsterdam, featuring calligraphy in three different scripts. If you have an idea—from bold truck art slogans to delicate floral work—we will paint it by hand. My motto is simple: Be Happy, Do Happy.
