About

How It All Began

Art ka keeda (my passion for art) bit me early on, repairing torn book pages back home in the village. Copying those old drawings, I realised this is what I love. When I landed in Delhi, life wasn't easy - took up graphic design just to pay bills, but my heart stuck with cartooning.

My Editorial Cartooning Journey

No fancy art school, just pure hustle. Got my break in 1995 with Hindustan’s national cartoon contest. Later, I freelanced for their editorial pages, drawing cartoons reacting to fresh news. Making sense of the world through hand-drawn editorial cartoons is still what I do best.

What I Offer

• Cartoons and illustrations for newspapers, magazines, websites, and more
• Political cartoon illustration covering trending topics, government policies, and social issues
• Hindi language cartoons (Cartoons with Hindi text/dialogues connect better - apni bhasha mein baat alag hi hoti hai [Things hit different in our own language])
• Editorial illustrations for serious subjects - like tributes for soldiers or public figures
• Minimalist commemorative illustration for special occasions
• Tribute caricature art for memories that matter

My Style

Mostly hand-drawn, old-school feel. Strong lines, real expressions - black-and-white or coloured, depends on the mood and message. For me, it’s about creating something that makes people stop, think, or just smile. Sometimes it’s not perfect, but it’s always honest.
