Saptan Stories – week 6 (Only 1 more to go! )
Penultimate line! The story moves on… “These are your memories” whispered the apparition, now a shimmering silhouette “for your love to renew, you must begin anew.

Saptan Stories Interview – Youth ki Awaaz
A nice article/ artist interview on YouthkiAwaaz on Saptan stories: What excites you most about being part of Saptan Stories? I really like the unknown quality of what may happen with a live, evolving story, created by the public. It’s both a little scary and exciting because anything can happen. My favourite story of recent […]

Saptan Stories – Week 5
The Story continues… “I was falling through what seemed like a long tunnel, blinded by lights. I somehow landed on my two feet and found myself in a large hall. Walls covered in photographs.

Saptan Stories – Week 3 WIP Process

Hands usually need a reference and I used my own here. Once I’m happy with the sketch, it gets inked up and then at last on to the colouring. (The […]

Curious Symbolism
Impossible to view the inclusion of pomegranates in paintings without an eye out for its highly muddled symbolism of fertility, abundance, contraception and loss of fecundity, death and resurrection

V is for Valentine
HAPPY V DAY EVERYONE! ‘V is for Valentine’ Belated Valentines & In Advance Vagina Monday. Hah.

HELP NEEDED: Exhibition Spaces
After being reminded by 3 separate people about showing work I’d like to organise an exhibition of my work sometime in 2015 but I have no idea how to go about it. Does anyone happen to know of a space that I could use maybe in London in 2015? Or Any other advice would be helpful.
