Urban Stories (working title) seeks to explore the myriad hues and dimensions of the culture of the city of Mumbai through a collection of stylized visual essays. A visual experiment of sorts, Urban Stories will employ such diverse genres as collage and typography, illustration and photography. The resulting collection will emerge as a unique narrative of Mumbai, its pasts and presents, peoples and places.

The chawl/ pixel art piece ..

Full time work on the project got off to a stuttering start with some major computer problems..thats now fixed.

Wanted to keep the grime-black-ramshackle look of the worli chawls intact in the piece, even though pixel art is known to be more clean, and crisp (for lack of a better word). The color scheme is thus greatly limited to olive green-gray-black to get that oppressive-army barrack feel. Work still in progress..
And of course video game parlance is juxtaposed in thh context of everyday chawl life.
