My Journey as a Cartoonist and Illustrator

My journey started in a small village in Samastipur. As a child, I didn't have access to art supplies, so I fixed torn book pages by carefully copying the illustrations by hand. That 'art ka keeda' (passion) never left me. In 1995, with no formal art school training, my work was selected for a Hindustan Times national contest, which eventually led to a freelance stint with their editorial team in Delhi.

Today, I balance my full-time work in graphic design with my true love: hand-drawn art. My services cover several distinct styles:

• Custom Caricatures: Perfect for birthdays, farewells, or just a unique gift. I integrate your stories, hobbies, and inside jokes into the artwork.
• Editorial Cartoons: I still draw for newspapers and websites, reacting to news and social issues with strong lines and clear messages.
• Hand-Painted Illustrations: For something more physical, I offer acrylic and oil paintings on A4 or A3 sheets, focusing on texture and realistic shading.

My process is straightforward. We start with a concept, I create a rough sketch for your approval, and then we finalize the details. I offer unlimited revisions on digital sketches and up to two rounds on physical paintings to ensure the final piece is exactly what you imagined. Whether it is a political commentary or a tribute to a loved one, my goal is to make people stop, think, or smile.
