I am a comic book artist with extensive experience illustrating book covers, comic books, and creating graphic novels. With a gritty and expressive painted art style, I enjoy working both traditionally with acrylics and digitally using various tools. I am passionate about storytelling through my art and have worked on various projects ranging from children’s educational books to documentaries. Over the years, I have freelanced for multiple publishers and clients, producing black and white illustrations, digital artwork, and painted covers, alongside writing and illustrating my own graphic novels that have been used in schools. Fluent in English and Punjabi, I love to blend creativity with meaningful themes in my work.
