Vidura 2010 Q1


These are some illustrations/toons of mine published in the latest issue of 'Vidura', a quarterly journal published by the Press Institute of India.



For an article on how the media shoots for glitz and glamour over real issues.
Ahem I guess I was clearly influenced by Shakira's 'Oral fixation' cover for the model in this piece...

For an article on how fake news has become more prevalent.


For an article on how regional newspapers still hold the numbers over english newspapers in the north.




For an article on how social networking serves as a platform for raising a voice against asocial incidents.Facebook was the case study for that specific article.


For an article on e-plagiarism



For an article on kannada newspapers being more popular than english




For an article on how press meets being held in English affects the local regional journos who are there to cover it.

Note to self: Never again do toons based on celeb gossip...
