I wanted my illustrations to go beyond paper and become something you can actually wear or carry. That's how I ended up making art merchandise - it’s not just stuff, it’s a piece of my story that travels with you. ### What You’ll Find Here I put my artwork on comfy graphic t-shirts and sturdy tote bags – things I use every day. My designs? Think scenes from Mumbai, self-care, dogs, food, art supplies. Sometimes I get a little filmy and add the kaali-peeli taxi or a local train, because Mumbai ka swag (Mumbai’s vibe) hits differently. - Illustrated tote bags with city life, food, or just bright colours - Hand-painted t-shirts for anyone who wants something one-of-a-kind - Mumbai-inspired designs that remind you of home or a fun trip ### How I Make Each Piece You can pick between high-quality prints of my digital work or go for a hand-painted t-shirt or tote – I use acrylics and paint directly on the fabric, so every piece is unique. If you have a special memory or want custom art commissions, I’m always up for making something personal. ### Why It’s Different I care about where my art ends up, so I work with brands that use soft, sustainable cotton and eco-friendly inks. If you want art you can use (and isn’t just for show), this is it. ## Highlights Browse through Divya Bhatia's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/youknowhertoo/art-merchandise/featured) - [Video: Watch as I bring the spirit of Mumbai to life on a sturdy tote bag.

Mumbai’s my home, my inspiration, and sometimes, my muse for midnight sketching sprees. I find joy in sketching old Wada pav stalls, chatting with Sanjay bhaiya at the bhel puri cart, and sharing my art with the folks who make this city feel like a big family. It's the same faces, same places, and that’s what I love – little slices of happiness that never change. ### My work - **Custom Art & Commissions**: I make portraits, custom caricature gifts, and art for special occasions. You get something personal, not generic. - **Urban Sketching & Storytelling**: I sketch Mumbai’s streets, stalls, and people using watercolour, gouache, or digital colour. Every sketch has a story. - **Live Sketching for Events**: Want something fun at your event? I do live sketching—quick, quirky, and always a hit. - **Art Workshops & Classes**: Beginner art workshops for all ages. I break things down simply, so you actually enjoy learning. - **Art Merchandise**: My art on things you use—tote bags, t-shirts, and more.
