Judith Kerr, author of 'The Tiger Who Came To Tea' - in her own words

She is awfully enchanting!...

I wish she was my grandma! :)

what a LEGEND!

Judith Kerr :)

 

I was first introduced to Judith Kerr and Tiger who came to Tea by my late father!

He had a hobby of reading comics and picture books, Tin Tin, Archie Digest, and one of them 

was Tiger who came to Tea....

The simple yet funny illustrations left an impact on my mind as 

a child, and made me think if I could illustrate a story like this....

Later learnt a lot about Judith and her successful escape from Germany..

and 'When Hitler stole Pink Rabbit'

Forever in love with this quirky story and its cute illustrations... :)

I dream to age and grow old like Judith, keep illustrating and telling lovely stories!

Jhumka Nirzara - Parakh :)

Can't get over this pretty song, Jhumka :)

when you sing Jhumka, dress accordingly :)

Adhi raat jab chand dhale - Paheli - Gulzar Saab

My attempt of this beautifully composed, (in your face) kind of a song,

written by Gulzar  Saab. Had a privilege of illustrating one of his poems 

for a publisher two years back :)

Just adore the folk touch to this song's composition! :)

Directors’ Cuts: “Become Microscope” by Aaron Rose

I usually go back to Corita when I am searching for inspiration as an 

illustrator. This extraordinary artist and educator always comes across,

as a smart little girl, who just seems mesmerised by colours and art..

And deeply rooted in truth and faith about GOD...

'Life is just a bowl of cherries sometimes'

'Press of my boot to the Earth springs a thousand affections'

such profound but positive and refreshing outlook 

of looking at life....

Love you Corita :) 

THE WORLD IS HER PAINTBRUSH AND HER COLOURS ARE BRIGHT :D

Aaja Nindiya - Ankur Tewari

The illustrations....speechless...just talent!

Some WIP

 

Some work in progress!

Lines by Mr. Harivanshrai Bachan! - I had illustrated

 

Cause if something is not going according to your will,

then its going as per GOD'S will, and the supreme power 

can NEVER think ill about you!

lol

As I look astounded that he lets me click this....stillness is a big deal these days :)

An oldie! But Oprah makes everything gold!
