page 1 of India Currents (Desi Headliners 2010)

Above is the first page of the 3 page comic I was hired to illustrate for India Currents magazine. You can see the full 3 page spread on their site.

For comparison, the roughs can be seen below:

For this particular comic, I was able to take the roughs and use them directly for the final inks (with clean-ups, of course). The dialogue on panels 1 thru 3 changed – and, based on the editor’s feedback, I flipped the middle panels around to improve clarity.

The full 3 page comic appears in print within the December 2010 edition of India Currents magazine. Do check it out!

India Currents Dec 2010 cover

Here is the original design I presented to India Currents magazine for their December 2010 issue (on stands now, if you’re in California.) This represents my first ever magazine cover design. This issue also features a 3 page comic I drew on “Indian American” news makers.
