Snippets from comics!

This little corner is a bunch of snippets from longer personal comics that I've been making. These comics, like much of my art, are based on songs because I greatly enjoy weaving strange stories around lyrics and poetry.

If the plot seems vague and obscure, then simply get lost in the panels and make whatever you want of it. There is no right and wrong here, there are only emotions.

The first one is Pandora's Box or How I Got My Cat - a comic about being confused about who you are and who you were and who you will be. Another interpretation I hear a lot is "cats solve all your problems".
Two more comics about how cats solve all problems. Another interpretation: I express love through comics and the person I am dating is very lucky.

The first comic is based on Kishi Bashi's 'Manchester' and the second on Cavetown's 'Devil Town'.
A (very) long term project I'm making my way through - Nilgiris Romance!

Nilgiris is the name of a supermarket chain in India. I visit the branch near my house so often that I practically live there - it's comforting and warm and familar.

In a place like that, on some days, you kind of hope you'll find another kindred supermarket-loving spirit. Lock eyes, have a moment. Maybe more Nilgiris Moments, maybe a whole Nilgiris Romance.

Anyway, songs in this one are girl in red's 'girls' and Chairlift's 'Met Before'.
A little note on this one: mottai maadi means 'terrace' in Tamil. The rest is just plain gay.
