Japan Design Foundation's DESIGN COMPITETION motivated me to create this type design on the theme FIRE. I took FRICTION as a depiction and this was born. These two versions displays its two application. My work though not selected yet was acknowledged.

BHIVANDI RIOTS 1984 this work is not of Cartoons but one of serious attempt to address this subject through my own VISUAL ALPHABETS. Please see my book covers Presentation.

This illustration of mine inspired me to do this rough book cover designs. This book was on Science base theme Poetry.

Who am I ? These are some of those few doodles to understand this question.

Who am I ? This is an exercise created by me to do the self study in Perception and Reality.

This is my true original doodle done resencently as reaction to the said event. I invite the realistic artist to paint 33 crorer gods! “Thirty Millions Gods”

What is the essence of my VISUAL ALPHABETS ? VISUAL ALPHABETS were born out of all my odds in ART LEARNNING. I am poor in

human figure anatomical drawing. I had intense desire to draw and imagine in

visual forms. Ideas,Interpretations,Visual Thinking, and Communication all based on

strong desire to express aesthetically. My realization of being poor in drawing

motivated me positively to take object drawing seriously and turn that into these

said VISUAL ALPHABETS. My father encouraged me to take up crosshatch rendering

technique seriously and use it to concertize the said visual language which became

my THUMB IMPRESSION. Geometrical Forms also came to my rescue in realization

of this visual language. I have mentioned in earlier slide the artists who inspired me

to be WHO I AM TODAY. Finally I am in my own competition. Not in the race.

Yes, ART cannot be just HOBBY it is very serious aspect of human civilization.

I am all the time impressed by these lines, they may not be directly relevant to this presentation but have been influencing factor on these VISUAL ALPHABETS.

“Crafty men condemn IDEAS, Average men admire them, WISE men use them”….By François Bacon. This I got from India’s famous Graphic Designer Roby D’Silva

“From whole to part and from known to unknown”

“Act thy well your part and people will honor you.”

“Be a fine artist first then only you can be good applied artist.”

“Take care of the present and Future will take care of itself”

My Late Father Artist, Prof. R.P.Joshi always use to give me insight of ART through these lines. Today after forty plus years as I grew they have become more meaningful.
