Salim Ali
Salim Ali was an Indian ornithologist and naturalist.

Several species of birds, a couple of bird sanctuaries and institutions have been named after him. This illustration was done as a cover design for a novel written to celebrate his work and contribution to Indian ornithology.
MAKING OF MOZZARELLA CHEESE
Mozzarella cheese is traditionally made in Italy, hence even while designing the info-graphics I kept the illustrations very traditional. Also, to give a more Italian feel, I painted the visuals on wood giving it a more authentic vibe and then designed the information on top of it.
Call me by your name
Fan art done for a coming of age romantic movie called Call Me By Your Name. This movie Chronicles a romantic relationship between 17 year old Elio Perlman and 24 year old graduate student assistant Oliver.
TALKING TO THE DEAD
For my final year graduation project I had to design an occult cafe. In occult studies, summoning the dead or talking to the dead is one of the most known section. Hence I designed a poster on talking to the dead which can be placed near the telephone booth in the cafe. I tried to keep the illustrations dark and eerie.
SUN SIGNS
For my final year graduation I had to design an Occult cafe. I made a series of illustration including the coaster designs. Each coaster would show different sun signs. As the coasters were for an occult cafe, I gave the sun signs a dark twist.
TARROT CARD CLOTH
For my final year graduation project I had to design an occult cafe. The cafe would have a separate section for tarrot card reading. To design this section I illustrated a few tarrot cards and got them stitched on a black cloth. The tarrot reading section would be separated with curtains made of this cloth.
TAJ GIFT CARDS
While working at Creativelandasia, I got a chance to work on designing gift cards for Taj Hotels. The designs are inspired by the elegant and intricate architecture of Taj. I tried to restore the heritage feel and yet give it a bit of a modern look. I did these illustrations in collaboration with my senior, Mrs. Eureka Alphonso.
