Diwali Ank

This Diwali was special indeed. Noted cartoonist Prashant Kulkarni was kind enough to include me with some young cartoonists in a "दिवाळी अंक" essay he wrote for रुची by ग्रंथाली प्रकाशन. This would be my first दिवाळी अंक. Prashantji did create a nice Q&A about inspirations, history and influences for me to answer. What I do appreciate is his crisp summary of me as a person and a cartoonist. I am indebted to him for the continuous support and encouragement he as showered me with time and agian. I am thankful to the editor Mr. Arun Joshi of ग्रंथाली प्रकाशन for his support to our field of cartooning. P.S: While I may no longer be "young", each cartoonist is young at heart.

WIP Comics first UK anthology

Holding my first UK publication. Working with WIP comics collective on their anthology infinity. WIP comics is a lovely community of indie comic lovers with insane talent and drive. For the 8 year aniversary the organisers chose the theme infinity to be expressed in 8 panels. I did two comics for this anthology, one based on Swami Vivekananda's thoughts and another was for the digital version only. Through this comic I got to meet with UK based artists who do spare time from their main lives to explore this field. To #comics and beyond
