### My story

Main SKD hoon, Samastipur ke chhote gaon se. Bacchon ki tarah hi, second-hand books se padhte hue, jab illustrations phate milte the, main khud se waise hi drawing bana deta tha. Tabhi se art ka keeda lag gaya. Hindustan Times ke caricature contest mein kaam chuna gaya, Patna exhibition mein display hua - bina kisi guidance ke. Delhi aaya cartoonist banne, struggle toh hai, par art chhoda nahi. Smile lana kaafi hai mere liye.

### My work

- **Personalised Caricatures & Cartoons**: Hand-drawn gift caricature, cartoon portraits, paintings for birthdays, anniversaries, farewells, ya bas maza ke liye.
- **Acrylic & Oil Paintings**: Recently started acrylic painting for birthdays and oil painting farewell gift, apart from my usual drawing style.
- **Unique Gifts for Any Occasion**: Corporate, doctors, friends, ya khud ke liye - funny boss caricature bhi bana deta hoon. Sab ke liye kuch hai.
- **Your Imagination, My Art**: Tiger par baithna ho ya swag dikhana ho, jo socho woh bana sakte hain caricature mein.
