An illustrator’s response. Poem in Kannada
Being an illustrator, the creative process never ceases to end. Ideas strike up from day to day living, which means a notebook, and a pencil by the side, and they all become a part of your identity. Through Rajiv’s photo story we are exploring how he connects home, life and his illustrations.
The day begins with a cup of coffee first! There’s magic there.
On the quiet mornings, do-it-yourself with paper and pencil.
And a fresh eye on the work in progress.
To never miss a chance to enjoy some fresh air, sun and look around.
And coming back to the desk to draw and connect.
And transforming into stories.
From part to whole.
The family that creates together stays together.
