I've been experimenting with 2D illustration form for months. I've been playing around with basic geometry. I've fallen in love with squares, rectangles, and circles, and I'm using them to make art. My illustration art has an emotional impact on me. And in order to accomplish so, I appreciate the link of simplicity, which says much more than an intricate art. You adore a detailed work of art while appreciating the feelings conveyed by a simple work of art.
It may sound strange, but I enjoy seeing average folks while I am outside. I happened to hop in an E- Rickshaw yesterday while heading from my house to a relative's house. People in India, if they haven't already, have heard of an E-Rickshaw. I was noticing the individual sitting across from me; he sat rigidly, glancing about, perhaps concerned about having to sit so close to a stranger during the pandemic. Which is strange considering he wasn't wearing his mask while I was. He was the inspiration for the illustration above.
With time I have developed my own style and here is a showcase of that...

Waiting for the other to begin
In times of crisis, I find it amusing when I expect the other person to initiate something. We are always waiting for the next person to start the revolt in a group, whether personally or professionally.
Sometimes when art arises out of anger...
The lockdown has been challenging. We're all stuck at home and have developed a dependency on the news. The news that I've grown to despise these days is all about the rise of capitalism. Every day, the rich get richer. Another thing has happened; with such a low pay, this thought is permanently lodged in my mind. At the end of the day, we office workers are slaves to the powerful. For us, it was always about orange collar employment.
