A big thank you to Gagan over at ‘Of Peacocks and Paisleys’ for doing a very generous post on me and my work. It was absolutely wonderful chatting with you Gagan. You ( my readers) can see that post here.

I also wanted to take this time to ask everyone who has covered my work in the past to please send the links to me. I would like to thank you for your generosity and to put your website links on my site. I know some, some seem to have slipped under the radar…. I will be putting this up shortly. I am currently in the middle of two commissions that have VERY tight deadlines! 

Will post the new work and the ‘thank you’ list soon.Wait for it.

After a long hiatus, my kitsch work is back in the press. A big thank you to Neelam Raaj for a wonderfully written article. The article talks about a new breed of young designers, who are going against the tide of mass production by offering quirky and vibrant home accessories. “From pop art-themed wall clocks and kitschy kettles to India-inspired coasters and naughty playing cards, there’s a range of stuff that can add personality to your living room…”

Feels good to be in such creative company.

Yah, I know there seems to be more press information and less work showcased. Actually truth be told, I am grateful to god. I have had  great response to my work and almost all of it has sold out. That was the good part.
But, the last couple of weeks  I had the beginnings of an artists block so I just took time out to chill and rejuvenate. It helped that my daughter started school and I had to sit outside her school for a few weeks to help in the ‘settling down’ period. I also did not want to create something just because I knew I could sell it. So I spent the time working on some new ideas, some pen and inks and some sketches for future paintings. As and when they are complete, I shall post them.
