Wall Art from India

Sameer Kulkarni is a self-taught illustrator and animator based in Mumbai, India. His beautiful wall art for shops and offices in India but also his personal project “One for blue” made out of love for nature and wildlife in collaboration with other designers and the “Doodlers” a collective project as well, caught my eyes.

His love for animated movies and comic books has been a huge influence in his life. In spite of graduating in the field of commerce, he followed his heart and took a short course in classical animation during which he developed a liking for illustration.

While working in an agency he learnt the ropes and collaborated with friends and colleagues to create work that really pushed him to try different things. And this eventually led him to be an independent illustrator and animator. He is inspired by nature, science and objects that surround him.

Sameer loves to collaborate with artists, designers, writers and whoever has something exciting in the works. Check out his website for more works at www.kulkarnisameer.com.
