What am I working on? Another artwork I had so much fun making. Buy the t-shirt here What am I reading? I read The Park Bench, a wordless graphic novel by French artsit Christophe Chabouté. With a ordinary park bench as the centerpiece, how many pages can you draw? Apparently a 336 page graphic novel. Like Here and The Arrival, this is also a masterpiece of the medium. Through the fixed perspective of the park bench, Chabouté captures the rhythms of everyday life. The story b

What am I working on? A friend gifted me a Van Gogh colouring book. This is what I did with my new acrylic marker set. What am I reading? I read Strange Houses by Uketsu. Having read Strange Pictures in one seating, I was sure this book will also be unputdownable. I made sure to wrap up my day’s work before starting it, because once I started, there was no putting it down. With its easy writing style and clever use of pictures and layouts, Strange Houses draws you into a chil

What am I working on? On another fun creative. Buy the t-shirt here What am I reading? I read another masterpiece called The Arrival by Shaun Tan. This is a wordless, surreal graphic novel that shows journey of an immigrant (probably fleeing atrocities in his homeland) to start anew in an unknown land. The soft charcoal like illustrations, ranging from neatly organized square panels to sweeping full page spreads has such depth without the use of a single word. It captures the

I read Here by Richard McGuire this weekend, and it completely blew my mind. At first glance, it’s a simple, dialogue‑sparse book, but it unfolds into a true masterpiece. McGuire fixes the narrative on a single corner of his childhood home in New Jersey, and spans across millions of years; fr

What am I working on? I made an illustration with this year's mascots for FIFA Buy the tshirt here⚽ What am I reading? The Best We Could Do by Thi Bui is a debut graphic memoir that took nearly a decade to create. At first glance, it reads as a family’s survival story during the Vietnam War caught between internal conflict and then US’s involvement, ultimately leading to their escape from the country in turmoil. But when you set the book down, you realize it is less about war

What am I working on? On a new comic page - Freaks on Lease. It is about 5 friends staying in a society. See what unfolds on @freaksonlease What am I reading? I recently picked up How It All Ends, a coming-of-age graphic novel by Emma Hunsinger. Honestly the coming-of-age genre is packed with masterpieces like This One Summer and by comparison, Hunsinger’s book is a much simpler read. However, where it caught my attention is in its execution. The book brilliantly captures the
