About

Cartoons, copy for advertising, content writing, sculpture, critiquing, acting and stage design for theatre are some of the fields in the order that have engaged me in the last 15 years. When it comes to cartoons I have published in some well known Indian publications like The Times of India, Mid-Day, Bangalore Mirror, Deccan Herald, a German publication called Epd - Entwicklungspolitik and illustrated for renowned ad agencies in Bangalore like J Walter Thomson, Ogilvy & Mather, Contract, Mudra, TBWA and LOWE. I have drawn cartoons for a TOI coffee table book, illustrated for a Tata McGraw Hill publication and illustrated a few social sector books. As a copywriter the ads I have written have appeared on Forbes Asia magazine and some of the well known Indian publications. Developed content for websites and communication material like brochures, emailers and presentations.

Specialties: Creative ideation, creative execution, illustration, writing and communication skills.
