— How did you discover your talent as an illustrator?
Well as a child I was interested in drawing cartoons, my parents inspired me to follow this option, so at the age of five, I started a career as a budding artist.
— What types of projects do you work on?
I prefer storybooks, cartoons, and concept arts.
— To achieve the best results…what information do you require from an author before you begin the process?
I always ask an author to elaborate on the concept and whether I can modify something at my end or not. I let them steer the project as it evolves.
— How many books have you illustrated and what are their titles?
I have illustrated so many books/comics/magazines . . .
Neev Magazine, Intellyjelly, KC Books, Mac, The Artbook of Sanghamitra Dasgupta, Brian The Kid, Johny’s Holiday Vibes Activity and Coloring Book, and others.
— What is your favorite childhood book?
Well, my favorite is not a single one, I have always loved to read comics, and my favorite comic character is Superman.
— I heard that you do some interesting side work, can you tell me about that?
As an illustrator I also do contributions . . . I am a contributing artist for Emory University Cancer Center. I make small comics for the kids in treatment and create informative banners for the department.
— What do you consider to be the easiest/ hardest part of your job?
There is no easy part. I strive for improvement to deliver great art, every day is a hardworking day.
— Where do you find inspiration?
Inspiration is everywhere, it comes from anywhere, mostly nature, I often gain ideas from shadows, water effects, etc.
— What activities do you enjoy when you’re not working?
I love playing video games, Assassin’s Creed is my favorite one, and I read a lot of books.
— What was your last project?
I just completed a series of children’s coloring books . . .
Color It With Kids (volumes 1 – 5).
— What is your next project?
As I continue to work with so many authors and publishers, a project is always on. My next personal project is a rough draft of a cover and layout of my next book, still in the planning stages.
— How can readers, authors, and other book professionals connect with you?
I am easy to find on social media like Facebook, Instagram, and my author page, so it’s easy for everyone to contact me . . .
