I l l u s t r a t i o n s
I am currently on an exchange program in the Netherlands, studying Illustration in Utrecht School of the Arts (HKU). I have been in the city of Utrecht for almost five months and these illustrations are a result of my first few months there. Not only has it been one of the most interesting courses that I have ever attended, but I also ended up with different kinds of projects, all of which I quite enjoyed. As I progressed, I saw a change in my style and way of work.

Illustration for the Dutch magazine, "De Dakhaas", depicting a personal nightmare
One full page illustration and three spot illustration for an article on the life of bankers and their lifestyle

For one of my assignments I was to pick a movie and redesign its poster. I chose the film "Little Miss Sunshine" and made a digitally illustrated poster for it. I made two iterations and chose the second as my final poster for the film.

A series of illustrations depicting my interpretation of the song "Black Mambo"  by the Glass Animals. The song is about a sloth and a mole snake facing-off in a game of dominos, and was inspired by the show, "Breaking Bad". 


I have written down the lyrics of the song below, so that they can be referred to while looking at the visuals.

Black Mambo

What'll it be, now Mr. Mole?
Whispers sloth in curls of smoke
Take a back seat
Or play pharaoh
Dance with me
And shake your bones


Slow down
It's a science
He's been waiting
To bring you down


Snake-eyed
With a sly smile
He can hold you
And shake you, child

Leopards laze each
On plush pillows
Slender capes
Of red and chrome

Paperback dreams
In their deep doze
Twitch their toes to
Black mambo

Slow down
It's a science
He's been waiting
To bring you down

Snake-eyed
With a sly smile
He can hold you
And shake you, child

"Wanna play cheat?"
Now says the sloth
A domino
Flush to his nose

Tickle that cheek
And take your throne
Pump your veins
With gushing gold

Slow down
It's a science
He's been waiting
To bring you down
Snake-eyed
With a sly smile
He can hold you
And shake you, child
We can hold you
We can hold you
We can hold you
We can hold you
