Dream Elephant 2026, fun impromptu paint jam with some awesome artists.
Improvising with sprays is always a challenge, but it’s important to let go of all the self-criticisms & enjoy the moment.

Huge thanks to @misha.mykitiuk & strangersamongus for letting us do our thing.

Also to Moises for randomly inviting me.
I literally dream of these exact moments…

Sketchbook Pages testing my first @arrtxart 60C Colour Set. Drew a character from imagination on the bottom left. The other squares are from reference images of a parrot, apple tree branch and a central asian woman.
These acrylic markers are very saturated, easy to use, and blend really well.
Definitely recommend for hobbyists or seasoned pros.
My only regret is not buying the bigger set…

Sketchbook Pages of a decorated Nandi Bull and Wild Boar. The Bull/ Ox a symbol of patience and the Wild Boar a symbol of excess. Its easy to imbalance both aspects of life, the goal is to find the middle ground.
Studying the vast and diverse cultures of South Asia via sketchbooks is becoming so important to my daily routine. The journey is endless and not always pretty, but crucial to my growth.

Something about a brush pen activates an ancient feeling. The pen does take time, discipline and devotion to work with it. When you finally begin to express its potential the feeling is amazing.

Almost done this sketchbook !

City Dragon - the energy of the city is stronger than one individual.
Dragons for me symbolize the endurance, strength, trust and magic we all have within ourselves to keep going.
Its rare to dream about dragons, but when they come, its unforgettable !

Dream On.

“Flight” for StART TO - Just Us 2026 program.
This piece is all about chasing our dreams, getting over the adversities of bullying and growing up in a place that’s not one’s original homeland, yet finding a new home. @start_streetartoronto #torontomural#originalmural#gratianart taken in Bloor & Dovercourt by @gratian.art
