The Ultimate Psycho in the Movie History
Here’s a tribute to the ultimate psycho in the movie history – The Joker, made immortal by THE Heath Ledger (4 April 1979 – 22 January 2008).
Comic – Science Is Always Right
I had written this 4 page comic story, ‘Science is Always Right’, for the Kolkata based Kindle Magazine. I was requested to write a 4 page graphic story related to the topic ‘The End of The World in 2012’.
This did not get published due to some last minute logistic issues, but here it is:
The Bird Rider
She is the member of the bird riding clans of a rocky planet. These women are fierce warriors, with extremely accurate aims. You don’t want to mess up with them!
This sketch was the result of 1 hour of free time after a full busy day of work, work and work.
The Mastermind
Here’s a small portrait of one of the greatest minds humanity has ever had.
Garden near Office
What do you get when you have an extremely boring day at the office coupled with a view from the office window. This!
Merilyn Monroe (Digital Avatar)
This is a ‘digital remake’ of a very old Merilyn Monroe sketch I did on paper once (16-Sep-1997 to be exact). The older one was done using pencil (5B) on paper. This one is done using the Wacom tablet in GIMP software (and without using a grid).
A Homage to the Ultimate Dream Machine
Space … A Final Frontier!
Star Trek debuted on the American TV in 1966. Recently it completed its 45th year on Planet Earth. This was the only science fiction series which painted a bright future for the humanity.
I drew this picture as a homage to the TV show which holds a very special place in my life. Star Trek gave me the vision to dream big and imagine bigger.

Oils Studies
Recently I came across 2 very good books on oil painting, which proved to be quite inspiring. Most importantly, they made me stop and look back at my techniques and work for some quantity.
The first book was The Oil Paint Color Wheel Book by John Barber and the other was Expressive Oil Painting – an Open Air Approach to Creative Landscapes by George Allen Durkee.
Following are the two oil studies. Both are done on 7″ x 9.5″ handmade paper.
The first study of a lone tree is entirely done using a single color (Burnt Sienna) and a single hard brush. No black and white tones were used. The aim was to develop a texture using the hard brush and a well diluted single color.
This was an imaginary jungle landscape. The aim was to experiment with various hues of green.
