Illustrations done for Radio Mirchi 98.3 FM planner 2011. It was a fun assignment to work on.

The "Teaser series"

The "Reveal series"

These illustrations were done for O&M a few weeks back!!
Working on this project was a great learning experience since the style required by the client was completely different than what I usually do but with the help and support of Kevin Lobo (an art director at O&M) I could manage to get through ;) thanks two tons Kevin!! really appreciate it.
The hoardings were displayed in various cities all over India.

Will be updating the blog more often from now on so stay tuned ;)

Illustrations for Nokia N97

2009-06-16T22:24:00.000-07:00

Here is a series of illustrations for Nokia N97 campaign for JWT Dubai.
The best series of illustrations I have done till now.. creating a style keeping the Nokia feel alive was a bit of a task in all the illustrations but with the help and support of the creatives it was successfully acomplished :)

The illustrations were a part of the Nokia N97 launch event that took place on 2nd June '09 at "Art Sawa" art gallery in Dubai.
The illustrations were printed on big canvases and put up!!

Below are a few snapshots from the event night...

Fox "Back to Back Crime Movies"

2009-06-16T22:05:00.000-07:00

This was done for Leo Burnett Dubai which was adapted into a hording.
Got to work with Kapil Bhimekar, an Art Director at Leo Burnett Dubai and working with him was a great experience.
The idea was to show back to back crimes happening in a comic way, both stylewise and content wise. I was given a lot of freedom and so could enjoy working on it!!

Illustrations done for Castrol Power1 "Passion Hunt"

2009-06-16T21:49:00.000-07:00

I had done these illustrations for O&M few months back.
The style they wanted for this was Instructo Art and the ideas which were narrated through the illustrations were very trippy, so was kind of fun to work on it!!

CINTIQ Hack

Here is the Cintiq I made a few months back, had posted this on deviantart, but the adventure went unnoticed so just thought to repost it here on my blog

Drew is the first person who successfully made the first homemade Cintiq two years back and then onwards he provided his guidance and knowledge to the rest of the ambitious people worldwide who wanted to make it too.

Here is the link to Drew's website:

Murals

2009-06-16T07:41:00.000-07:00

Used to do mural paintings with friends back in college. Was great fun!!
Few of my best pals ever :D

Big walls, air guns, chalked threads & paints. Murals take completely diff. set of techniques and mindset and a hell lot of hard work! But performing on huge walls is a great experience :)))

This one was for a cafeteria. For Godrej BPO at Ghatkopar.

Again for a cafeteria. For Paradigm BPO at Mindspace, Malad.
