Earlier last year I got an opportunity to illustrate for Indian Wildlife Ecology Conference 2024. The themes were diverse ranging from the forests of the Western Ghats to the oceans and the Himalayan mountain habitats. #westernghats #westernghatsofkarnataka #wildlifeindia

Turtles, corals and parrot fish for the marine theme make this illustration pop out with colors and is one of my favorite in this series of banners for IWEC24 This is one of those pieces which came out to be more beautifully than I had imagined in my head. #wildlifeart #fauna

The majestic Banyan tree and the life it supports. Made this illustration for a book on biodiversity for Indian Institute for Human Settlements. How many species can you spot? Can you believe all these species were seen on a single Banyan tree in Bangalore!

One of the lesser seen of the Indian mammals: Indian crested porcupine. Thought of illustrating this rodent species to get a feel for the monochromatic patterns and spikey quills. Fun fact: The spikes are actually a modified form of hair! #indianmammals #porcupine #wildindia

A close but wild relative of the domestic chicken, this is the Grey Jungle-fowl (Gallus sonneratii). I was very excited to illustrate this bird which has so much splendor and colour, can't wait and keep looking at it both in the wild and at the picture. #birdsofindia #birdart

One of the first species that I saw when my Flight landed in Kenya was this large pied crow. I kept seeing it throughout out my stay in Africa. In an attempt to illustrate a few birds species that I saw during my visit this is the first one. #piedcrow #africanbirds #birdart

I was very happy when I asked me to make an illustration of the Cannonball Tree for The Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai. Here is my version of the plant with a Hornet. lnkd.in/dVSmq3wJ #biodiversity #trees #plantart #naturalhistoryillustration

A very brightly coloured Crimson-breasted Gonolek seen in southern African countries, sadly never got to see this one but saw a related species Black-headed Gonolek in Rwanda, during one of the Safari. #gonolek #africanbirds #birdillustration #birdsoftheworld #weekendart

This illustration highlights some of the spectacular species we get to see in Bengaluru. Example the Slender Loris in the IISC campus, the Egyptian Vulture soaring over the UB City mall and the other overlooked butterflies, dragonflies and migratory bird species. #Biodiversity

Bangalore biodiversity: Showcasing more of the plants and animals that one might chance upon in and around Bangalore. Many of these are disappearing from the city as they require open grassy habitats. They can still be seen on the outskirts of the city. #urbanwildlife #art
