Gautam and I had awesome fun exploring a part of Madhya Pradesh last month!
I had a chance to illustrate for signboards that will be put up at heritage sites at the coastal town of Bhatkal, Karnataka, India, some being the Jain basadis (temples) that were built around the 1500s. The local merchants and rulers back then built several beautiful temples in granite dedicated to Jain saints, that are rich in carvings and engravings. Some of the illustrations are showcased here.

A restaurant that we had loads of fun designing for.
Client: CounterCulture
Agency: Motif8
July - Oct 2010
Counter Culture is this awesome restaurant we made some designs for. Right from designing coasters, posters, tissues and painting the walls of the restaurant, we had a real good time working for them. Here’s showcasing some of the work that I made for them.
Menu - The sketches in the menu were inspired by the space in which the restaurant is set - amid beautiful chickoo and almond trees, plantains and maize.

The Bar Menu was inspired by the various “Counter Culture” pub spaces of Bangalore - the fun was in pub-hopping and sketching the place while having a sip or two..

Poster inspired by poet and nonsense word inventor Edward Lear. Originally, the owl and the pussycat sail in a pea green boat and eat mince and quince in a runcible spoon!

Matchbox covers inspired by various comedians across the globe..


This poster was made for fun - what I like most about it is that it turned out to be in Alan Fletcher style :)
