Paintings and cartoons in my life.


                            Paintings


     From the year 1998 I began to study painting seriously.  My first teacher was late Sri S. L Larious and after that artist K Palani guided me in painting. My first painting exhibition was in 2000 and that was inaugurated by Artist K Palani sir at Kalavoor. Same year conducted a painting exhibition in Alappuzha city and that was inaugurated by cultural activist and writer Sri. Kalleli Raghavan Pillai sir. Three more solo painting exhibitions conducted later, inaugurated by Dr. Thomas Issac MLA, Adv. Arif MLA, film director and writer Sri. Kalavoor Ravikumar.





  I also participated in many group painting exhibitions and group banner painting shows on road side for important social issues conducted by many cultural organisations.

 Even though I was interested and talented in painting very much, I did not paint more, because of financial problems.  Opportunity to sell paintings in Kerala, even in these days too is very much rare. But I want to paint more and hope God will allow and bless me to paint more..

                                      Cartoons

Cartooning has an important role in my life. I started to draw cartoons majorly from the year 1998 and my first cartoon and cartoon essay published my first Malayalam book ‘Ozhukunna poovithal'
in 2000.  Then my dear friend and writer Dr. JKS Veettoor asked me to draw cartoon and cartoon essay in annual magazine of ‘Nakshathra publicatios’. Then he also asked me to draw cartoon essay in his monthly magazine ‘’Sahithya mithram’ and I continued to draw it for about two years.Evening daily news paper Rashtra Deepika published my cartoon from 2007 and I got several prizes from there. At that time I send a cartoon to Malayala Manoram weekly and an artist Sri Raghu Kumarakam, working there saw my cartoon and bio data and called me to work as a part time cartoon and caricature teacher in Sargakshethra cultural center Changanasserry, which was affiliated to many schools. I still work there. In the year 2010 I made a cartoon animation song ‘Yanthra paat’, in my home computer and with that I become part of album industry.
