Cover for Teacher Plus, March 2012

Gouache on a background of acrylic and gesso on paper

The theme for this issue of the Teacher Plus magazine was bullying in schools. Read the cover story by Chintan Girish Modi here.

I found that the Warli folk-art form of Western India lent itself perfectly to the nuances I wanted to convey.

Magazine Cover Design

December 2010 Issue

Teacher Plus is a Hyderabad-based monthly publication primarily aimed at the Indian schoolteacher. “It is a forum within which teachers can raise their concerns, discuss ideas, and share and update their knowledge. Teacher Plus discusses alternative ways of thinking and doing within the context of the Indian classroom, while recognizing the constraints that most teachers face, day to day. In addition, its aim is to foster a sense of community among teachers, of being a part of an important group of change agents.”

The cover photographs were taken at Shibumi :).

Friend

One afternoon in Chhitkul, I made a friend:

Chhitkul, Kinnaur

Sketches and photographs from a trip to Kinnaur in Himachal Pradesh with a friend, in the summer of 2010. Chhitkul was one of the little villages we stayed in; a wonderful, wonderful place!

This was near home last evening while the sun was setting. Not too happy about the sky, perhaps I’ll give it a little more work. Criticism welcome.
