The Art Works of Justin Bhatia

Lock & Feather

I just debuted this little guy at Expozine. My first comic is a 60 page-ish magic-existential-realist romp through mystery and wonder.  If you want one talk to me or stop by Monastiraki.

A friend described my work as “punk rock art nouveau” when he saw this print.  The text came from a thought I had while watching some band that I can’t remember rock out.  This print is also meant to be reassuring  to those who may have certain existential qualms or concerns about our day and age.

And More!

Something lies beneath ready to awake, and another descends into the earth.

Prison and Rebellion

This diptych was a further response to the theme of death. Death is a prison which we are all condemned but regardless we rebel against it.

Which Direction?

I like this little guy

Look Ma, No Hands!

This series of drawings was my response to the theme of death for my drawing class with Daniel Barrow.  Hands interest me as they tend to be our primary tool used to interact with the world. Impermanence, futility, and the idea of social roles and the construction of a world view are explored by the protagonist limbs.

these pieces were in response to an assignment on love at school. they represent some of my favourite drawings to date.

ritual and renewal
