Accident Grotesque.

First couple of them in a series of illustrations with "maggots" as the recurring theme. A blend of Battleship Potemkin and 3 days old noodle can do strange things to a sketchbook. Would be adding the rest of it as it gets done..

"Thook"posters

Poster design for Indian Ensemble's production on the issue of  Hunger. Its a fascinating story inter cutting between the food riots and a family torn apart by its repercussions. A long project which spanned over a year with collaborations from almost 5 nations who share similar stories of the apathy of the state and the sufferings of the individual as a resultant of the issues of hunger.

Treadmill

Poster for an Indian ensemble's production " Treadmill". The play revolved around the protagonist's journey from a small town to the big city and the numerous elements of the bustling metropolis which eventually starts shaping his identity, that itself results in a conflict between his past and his present way of life.

The play after enjoying a successful run had returned for a second stint and was staged in other cities as well .

The Breakfast..

The Breakfast poster featuring the Egg and the Bread is the first in a series of posters which would be defining a campaign for certain innovation driven products in the development centre of my department. The first one being the initial draft meanwhile the second one is the final poster.
The content in the poster basically attempts to initiate a discussion in the next level of money transfer.

Setting the context and conceptualising the poster was fun and after several iterations this was the final design.

Herbert...Doborer Chyaang!!!

A Fan poster made for Suman Mukhopadhay's film "Herbert". The skillful capturing of the ever volatile nature of my hometown coupled with the eccentricity of the characters makes the film a very interesting watch. It follows the life of a somewhat social outcast orphaned at childhood, and meanders on the lines of spirituality. This coupled  with him becoming an anchor point as the city rapidly changes around him.

Suman, the filmaker had to say and i quote "Bah bah!!"..for this piece of work. Worth the effort ..

Jazz and the strings..

Couple of posters that i had done for a jazz concert held at The Basement, Kolkata. Although only the first one got approved, I somehow like the latter one better. Drew inspiration from the music and the old posters of the 40s and 50s. Do leave your feedback if you happen to like them!

Film posters

The poster for my first animation project - 'The Last Rebel'. Some shots of the film are  there in the showreel which also find it's place in this blog...

Another poster that i had initially made just to fiddle around with the image..basically an output of an empty space of mind.

This one is for a dear friend who was one of the very few to dabble with horror in a student project.Wanted to give an hand-drawn feel and photoshop effects a try.

A poster that i made for a friend's short film. It's about a conversation between an estranged couple and how a cigarette lighter seems to come into a strange predominance.

Rudro Screens!!

This poster was made for an upcoming student film-maker's film screening. The relevance of Capra's quote denotes the philosophy of the film. The poster was done in a Pop Art theme with very minimal information portrayed.

Publication promotion

This one is a promotional something that i worked for a comic book restoration project happening in Kolkata. The illustration courtesy "Satyajit Ray" which i managed to procure from a rare cover..
