Receiving the first copies from Kalaimani sir |
Mr.Kalaimani , my School teacher has authored two books in Tamil. One book is a collection of his Tamil poems (agara mudhala) and the other a collection of comical & satirical plays (Sulukkia sahabtham). I had the good fortune of doing the illustrations for both the books. For agara mudhala I had done mostly simple line abstracts to convey the poems visually. But for Sulukkia Sagabtham, I had to illustrate epic characters and events with a comical touch. It was an interesting experience!
Kalaimani sir had come down to Madurai from Sydney for the book launch and I could catchup with him after almost 25 years!
Took Kalaimani sir for lunch along with my friend & schoolmate Chellakumar |
Both books are available on Amazon
Few of my illustrations for the books...
Unless available on google books, I only read reviews lol
