Artist Study

The only way to portray the curious and comical life by the roads of Mumbai was through cartooning. Here I studied 2 artists who inspire the rest of my work.

Mario Miranda- A renowned Indian cartoonist, known for capturing the spirit of contemporary Goa and Bombay. Being a Mumbaite, more than once I have seen his work passing the infamous Cafe Mondegar and so who better to study to capture the hasty, lively Mumbai life.

Kandi Narsimlu- An Indian artist from Hyderabad. Through his art he captures the rural Indian life of men and women dressed in bright and colourful clothes. What I loved most about his work is colour applications, the contrasting colours made the paintings lively and exciting. He truly captures the spirit of Indian streets.

Double Decker BEST Bus

This is a cartoon of an overcrowded Mumbai BST bus. An exaggerated and comical version of the day to day shenanigans that take place. Inspired by Mario Miranda I developed my own character for this painting.
