'Aranyer Pori' - 2 Nymph of the woods - 2 16 x 16 inches Digital Print available DM for price. . . Some days a forget how happy I am. How much love I have in my life. A student's story reminded me of how easy love has been for me. Even when it has not worked out in the past - and especially now when it is working (well... sort of) 12 years since the two of us have been in love - almost 15 years since we became friends. That friendship has stood the test mostly. Through our tough times, the friendship kept us afloat. The conversations - unending, incessant, intense - they have remained the same for the last decade and a half. They make me fall in love with you all over again. You bring music to my life. You make me happy. And I love you. Sometimes I forget quantifying it for you. Today is just one of those days when it needed to be said - romantically, cheesily, idiotically on social media. #rexinthecity #REXit #procreate #digitalart #learning #illustration_daily #illustratorsofindia #drawingoftheday #therapyart #artistsofig #lovestory #artistssupportingartists #selflove #bodypositive #artsale #digitalprint https://www.instagram.com/p/CSbF4Srs6t5/?utm_medium=tumblr

Shroud Digital prints available for sale 1600px X 1600px DM for price. For the first time in my life, I feel old. I feel as if I have not done anything in life so far, haven't achieved anything, haven't explored much, haven't given much back to the world... The thing is if someone else who has lived like me was saying all this to me - I would have called their bullshit - but no matter how much i try to see my life objectively it still seems futile. But then the whole world seems futile to me... What an existential crisis to be in. Or maybe this is exactly what midlife crisis is.... Now where is my Ferrari? #rexinthecity #REXit #procreate #digitalart #artistsofig #quarantineartclub #quarantineandchill #quarantinelife #procreateart #procreateillustration #illustration_daily #illustratorsofindia #drawingoftheday #therapyart #artwork #artforsalebyartist #artforsale https://www.instagram.com/p/CR9QXS2sAMy/?utm_medium=tumblr

‘Girls’ night out’ Digital Print Size 12 x 18 Price on request. DM for price. The biggest struggle about sketching is to stop making lighter skin tones. Because from a young age we have been taught what a ‘skin colour’ is. It’s supposed to be this light fawn colour - but it isn’t, is it? I am trying to make these changes - but it takes time - I know lots of people are trying to change this - and I am just a small cog in that movement. #rexinthecity #REXit #procreate @procreate #artistsofinstagram #artistsupportartists #artistsofinsta #artinindia #indianartgallery #indianartistscommunity #artoftheday #skincolour #artforsale #artforsalebyartist #artistsupport #procreateart (at Delhi, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRdzzFYME1t/?utm_medium=tumblr

'Protect' I have always been a protective big sister. Right from when I was a girl and my brother was a wee baby. If difficulties arose I always want to be a shield. Even now. He has become such a fabulous human being now. He is so talented, polite, hardworking, honest - all in all a stand up guy. Yet I feel like a big protective sister even today. He is a big shot chef now - and i know for a fact that he is one of the best in the country. Do check his page out too to constantly feel hungry and greedy. @chefagnibh #artinspiration #rexinthecity #REXit #procreate #digitalart #learning #sibling #mybrother #procreateart #artistsofig #artistsoninstagram #protection #protective #bigsister https://www.instagram.com/p/CREfWn_sUQT/?utm_medium=tumblr

Sleep It is an elusive thing for me. I have insomnia. A bit of a tough day or a bit of anxiety - sleep decides to abandon me that very night. I think it especially does that when I have a long day ahead. This was made on one of those nights too. #arteveryday #rexinthecity #RexIt #insomnia #artofinstagram #quarantineartclub https://www.instagram.com/p/CQOhuPShDRf/?utm_medium=tumblr

When the demonetisation had happened I had written an article about the plight of the daily wage workers in the fashion industry. I am wondering how they are surviving the immense effect of covid19 and the lockdown on the fashion industry. It's anyway not a very kind industry. Heck, they don't even pay their own workers in normal circumstances. These hands for hire would be in so much trouble right now. What are they doing? How are they surviving this ordeal? Those who have the answers won't say anything... Because they participate in this exploitation. #rexinthecity #REXit #procreate #digitalart #learning #sketcheveryday #sketchdaily #artistsofig #quarantineartclub #quarantinelife #exploited #dignity #fashion #arsgratiaartis https://www.instagram.com/p/CQJxpZuhVny/?utm_medium=tumblr

Ardor I started this out as just two people embracing. It turned out even better. The passionate embrace the heat of the moment. I loved creating this. So much of this is unplanned. It just came together and i genuinely love this piece. #rexinthecity #REXit #procreate #digitalart #learning #pridemonth #pridemonth2021 #prideart #abstractart #procretaeart @procreate #artistsofig #quarantineartclub #quarantineandchill #quarantinelife #quarantineartchallenge #loveislove #abstractart https://www.instagram.com/p/CP1Fs1YhR9s/?utm_medium=tumblr

Last year many many people struggled to make ends meet when a sudden lockdown was announced losing their livelihood overnight. Many walked back home in the killing heat of 50° C, 1000+ kilometres while dealing with hunger, loss, sickness, fear... This year the death toll was even worse. What do you do with that hunger? How does one deal with it? Privilege makes us blind to all of this. #rexinthecity #REXit #procreate #digitalart #learning #abstractart #artistsofig #quarantineartclub #migrantworkers #digitalartwork #arsgratiaartis #procretaeart @procreate (at Delhi, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPwOwTWhQey/?utm_medium=tumblr

This is a gratitude post. It is heartening to see so many of my students rise up to this chaos and help out so many people. Shout out to @anoushka.seth for being so wonderful and doing so much for the world. She is volunteering to verify information during the pandemic to provide oxygen, hospital beds, plasma etc... ... So proud... Lots of love to you Anoushka and everyone else who is contributing in any way possible - sharing details, verifying information, donating, amplifying, speaking to someone who is down, catching up with people. You all are fighting the good fight. Thank you frontline workers - each and every one of you have been more than gods to the society. Thank you everyone for having the heart and supporting each other. #rexinthecity #REXit #procreate #digitalart #learning #girlalone #illustratorsofindia #illustration_daily #procreateart #artistsofig (at Delhi, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/COZ4ne5BC9X/?igshid=1rewcg4w2q1jw

Self quarantine made me do some art. Social media has been rife with calls for help and the situation is not much better even now. So doing illustrations was for a few hours a day was the only way i could keep myself distracted in the last two weeks. The plenty of rest and sleep has helped matters and now both of us feel much better... But emotionally i feel drained. How have you been? This second wave in India has been especially tough. How are you coping? #rexinthecity #REXit #procreate #digitalart #learning #portrait #girlalone #sketchseries #quarantineartclub #artistsoninstagram #artistsofig #digitalartwork https://www.instagram.com/p/COU0ENIh5VD/?igshid=npxgabswyk6w

Does your dog also do this? Cuddle up in a way that none of her body parts are discernible.... almost like a tangled pair of headphones? Frida loves her cozy gadda more than an expensive dog bed... so sleepy Frida looks like a little black fur ball... #sleepydog #rexinthecity #rexit #dogsofinstagram #dogislove #dogillustration #dogsindia #dogillustrations #cozydog #procreateart #ilovemydog #december #customcalendar #customised https://www.instagram.com/p/CMRlZswhYf0/?igshid=qzf5u8476w3r

Frida is the happiest when she is leash free. Delhi is really not the place for it - although sometimes she does get the chance to run around in a small park... So good weather makes her a wild and happy spirit... Swipe to see the video of this crazy spirit of this happy soul. #rexinthecity #REXit #procreate #digitalart #furbaby #fridakahlo #paintinglife #fridathedog #dogillustration #dogportrait #cuddles #dogsofinstagram #instadogs #blackdog #horsingaround #customcalendar #yearoftheox (at Delhi, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CL9CxxrhxAV/?igshid=1htpo2zyg42re

August "Why you no gimme belly rub" - Frida Kahlo Kukur Dogs are wonderful creatures. They are undemanding of anything but love. They only want some cuddles and food from time to time... And they are so forgiving. They will forgive you snapping at them for barking too much. They will forgive you for bathing them even when they find it disgusting... They will forgive you for leaving them alone if you need to... Frida doesn't even demand like basic things... Like cheap toys are the best things for her... And some basic food - usse ek tukda fish ka de do to she is the happiest. She is our cuddloo ram... #quarantineartclub #rexinthecity #REXit #procreate #digitalart #furbaby #fridakahlo #paintinglife #fridathedog #dogillustration #dogportrait #cuddles #dogsofinstagram #instadogs #blackdog https://www.instagram.com/p/CL1KPS1h857/?igshid=1tkz8ytru218m

Rainy days and Frida She loves to sit on the window on a rainy day - unless it is really loud - she sits on the sofa and looks out of this window for hours... And fogs up the window from the inside. It is quite sweet - she will bark if there is a cat or something else streaking across. But she does look like a philosopher sitting there on a grey day... #rexinthecity #REXit #procreate #digitalart #dogillustration #dogsofinstagram #fridaandfreedom #fridakahlo #paintinglife #paintingseries #calendar2021 #customcalendar #dogportrait #dogstagram #doglove #raindog #doglovers #rain #artistsoninstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CLmwfqyhgs-/?igshid=rop7ual46r4j
