Illustrations

In the aftermath of the tragedy of the attacks of 9/11, I found my spark for illustrating by seeing an animated cartoon by Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist, Mark Fiore. His cartoon capturing the predicament of Sikhs and many brown Americans in post 9/11 America led me to start creating, Sikhtoons, cartoons with Sikhs. That journey lasted with over a thousand cartoons that can be consumed at Sikhtoons.net

One of these Sikhtoons was created in the fall of 2011 inspired by a Marvel comic inspired Hollywood blockbuster. I created a Captain America with a Turban and Beard who fights hate and intolerance. This started a whole new unexpected journey with the manifestation of Sikh Captain America.
