Thanks Param. It's great that you're tracking down Indian illustrators so tenaciously. I hope to add more to your list soon.

Because she asked if there's been any new work.

I really like your illustrations. It has a spontaneous sketchy quality to it. Wish I could see many more. Please upload more illustrations if you have any.

Thanks Saumya. We've been doing a whole lot of work for Vidita and Edumedia. Lots of children's workbooks that I can't wait to show off. Will up it the moment the client signs the release form.

Thanks DP. We got the same feedback about the irreverence from a few other people as well. But what the hell, we'll stick with it for a bit.

The illustration is by our newest member, Prabha Mallya. Check out her sketchbook!

Heya!

Pencilsauce has a new website. We've pared down the number of works in the portfolio and the website now runs on indexhibit, a cool CMS especially built for artists and designers. Take a look! (Ek Kanya! I'd especially like you to take a look!)

Some feedback:

Heya Kanya,

What you're saying is ideal and that is how it ought to be. Unfortunately many agency ...

Saumya, thanks again. Will you be attending the workshop?

Heya Shanty, Thanks. I just mailed you.

Desh Premi, it's a workshop that concentrates more on illustration strategies rather than specifically on techniques. Many 'illustrators' tend to draw what seems like static objects. Great art but no ...

Heya Kanya
We do some work for agencies and studios in Mumbai from time to time, but no studio there.
But since we're largely web based, using our FTP servers and online project management system most clients don't feel the distance.

BTW, any illustrators in Delhi? There's a workshop on children's ...

I'm a graphic designer and illustrator. Spec work is rampant in my profession. It's almost like blackmail sometimes. Spec or starve! The reasoning in most cases is that we haven't worked with you before, or it's a risk that we may have to take... etc.

Isn't my portfolio good enough to showcase my ...
