Authentic Hand-Painted Signage and Truck Art
No computers, no digital tricks. Just pure, hand-painted artistry from the heart of Old Delhi, bringing vibrant truck art to your walls, shops, and personal style.
This piece, inspired by the iconic Grateful Dead, is a fusion of American rock culture and Indian truck art. I used bold colors and intricate details, including the famous dancing bears and skull logo, to create a design that rocks as much as the music.
A hand-painted sign for a Brazilian travel company, "Vem Comigo Para India". The design combines classic Indian motifs like Lord Ganesha, Lord Shiva, a welcoming woman, and a chai-wallah to create a vibrant invitation to India.
Here you can see my hand adding the final 3D highlights to a custom sign. Every letter and every shadow is carefully painted with a brush to make the words pop, a technique central to my truck art style.
A piece that plays with language, featuring the phrase "It's Just A Sign" in both English and Urdu script. I love blending languages in my work, using my skills in Hindi, Urdu, English, and Farsi to create unique typographic art.
This is a custom-painted jacket, transforming everyday clothing into a piece of wearable art. The design is full of classic truck art elements like peacocks, the "Horn Please" slogan, and vibrant floral patterns, all painted by hand.
A large-scale mural project for the STart India Foundation, covering an entire school building. This shows how my hand-painted style can be scaled up to create massive, impactful public art that transforms community spaces.
With my happy clients from Brazil, who commissioned the "Vem Comigo Para India" sign. It brings me great joy to see my art connect with people from all over the world and find a home with them.
About Featured
When you choose a hand-painted piece from me, you are getting a process that begins with a hand-drawn sketch and ends with layers of durable, high-gloss enamel. Unlike digital prints, my work features 3D block lettering and traditional floral motifs that catch the light, adding a tactile depth that mass-produced signs simply cannot replicate.
I believe art should be a conversation. Whether it is a custom shop sign for a tattoo studio, a large-scale mural for an event, or a statement jacket, I bring the signature "Horn Please" energy of Indian truck art to life.
I use high-gloss enamel paints that are designed to withstand weather and time. Every project starts with understanding your specific vision—whether you want English, Hindi, Urdu, or Farsi script—and sketching it out for your approval first.
For nameplates and smaller pieces, I work on metal tins or wood, ensuring that the 3D shadows and vibrant neon colors create that maximalist look I am known for. I handle everything from small home nameplates to massive wall murals for offices and cafes. Because I paint everything by hand, no two pieces are ever identical, and each sign carries a personal, human touch that machines cannot mimic.
