Art turns craft
‘Aparna, I have registered Sonu for the arts and crafts class, you know something for him to do during the holidays.’ I heard someone say during my evening stroll after a day of much painting.
Something crossed my mind and i just knew i had to share it. As kids arts and crafts are one and the same to us. But as we grow up the two start pulling away. We often think, an artist is an artist and a craftsman makes crafts. (I am not referring to people educated in art and design schools here, i am just talking about the general perception).
It wasn’t until recently that I started to merge the two together. Everyone has a different way of doing it and this is mine. ‘Art on usable surfaces’ i like to call it. Art that you can see, touch, feel and clean.

Love it! Slurpy is great! And the dog too. I assume you are a dog lover … like me. I also like the platypus …
Beautiful work – I found your earlier blog through others that I read. Your style is very unique and colorful.
thanks arjen, bindu, your lovely comments give me more encouragement to keep on painting!
really nice work ..came across ur blog throgh a link ..luv the indian element in ur work:)
thanks abhishek! very strange… i don’t try to make my work look Indian but I am tremendously influenced by textile and prints… i guess subconsciously it does come out very Indian. Keep coming by to see more work.
How about art on T-shirts?
Hi Santosh! This is a great idea one that i have thought of and want to work on very soon. Will keep you posted. Right now i can take on a custom order though.
