comics at shows and have met a few writers thats all but if i wanted to work on a comic strip again i would write about my own characters and would write it myself complete selfexpression is the aim of any artist i believe that if an artist has something say it will reflect in their art and i consider myself one of that breed currently however im entirely occupied by editing and publishing my online art anthology speaking of india though ive always seen it as a place of great culture and history but blighted by a degree of poverty that is unnecessary bearing in mind the wealth and resources available to it but meeting indians confirmed what i have always believed the people here are full of energy and make the most of what they havewhat do you enjoy more writing or illustrating to me both are equally immersive and take up a lot of effort writing and illustrating are interdependent however writing takes less time and effort than drawing so from that simple point of view it is easier and thus preferable in the context of time and labour takenany advice for the young illustrators and storytellers in india my advice for any artist trying to enter any field of art be it comics or otherwise is to just study the needs of that field dont take short cuts but above all learn how to draw very well because if you can do that almost everything else in art is a technical disciplineahead of your visit to hyderabad anything you are looking forward to in the city i make it a rule never to research ahead on any country or city i havent visited before because i want an unsullied impression made on me so i am looking forward to visiting hyderabad is all i can sayguy fawkes timeline from treason plot to todays revolts 1605 it all began with the assassination plot against king james i of england by a group of english catholics although it failed britain found a hero in guy fawkes who was arrested with the explosives that were planted to blow up the parliament1982 v for vendetta a graphic novel by alan moore illustrated by david lloyd presented a fictional postapocalyptic uk in the 1990s the books protagonist and anarchist v wears a guy fawkes mask2006 the masks of fawkes was further popularised by the books adaptation on celluloid by the wachowski brothers2008 members of hacktivist group anonymous sported it in a protest against the church of scientology2013 the mask went global when the million mask march saw protesters from around 400 cities around the globe including hyderabad coming together for the guy fawkes night on november 5
