Rivas+Rivas

Two colour versions of a logo illustration for a political candidate in the town of Hollister, CA. I personally prefer the pink one, but the client chose blue to use for campaign promotion.

Graduate Feature

It's Nice That Talk #11 – Sroop Sunar from It's Nice That on Vimeo.

A very nice graduate feature on It's Nice That showcasing some of my work as well as an interview (http://www.itsnicethat.com/articles/784-sroop-sunar). And a 20 minute talk as part of their "graduate evenings" in July.
I'm also featured in their second publication which is out end of September.   

Animal Collective

The above images are my interpretations of some animal collective nouns.
Collective nouns are words used to define a group of objects, where "objects" can be people, animals, emotions, inanimate things, concepts or other things.
The images are screenprinted and hand-bound into a book which also contains an A-Z list of collective nouns, sorted by subject. The illustrations are protected by copyright (© Sroop Sunar), from forthcoming book "An Illustrated Dictionary of Collective Nouns" to be published in 2010.

Three screen-printed versions testing out different blues, for my own amusement.
Most people preferred the middle one.

The Secret History

A set of oil pastel sketches drawn on site in the Greek section at The British Museum. They form part of my visual research for the Penguin Design Award to design a book jacket for "The Secret History" by Donna Tartt. Finished book jacket to be posted up soon!

The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga

The above screen prints are based on the book "The White Tiger" by Aravind Adiga. They each illustrate some of the running themes in the book...
India's caste system and political corruption (Big Belly)
Rural darkness: the world of landlord and peasant (Landlord)
...as well as visually interpreting some of the narrators observations (Three Drivers) and analogies (The Rooster Coop).
A recommended read!

Indian Matchbox Labels

The above images are some screen prints from a series which forms a study of Indian matchbox labels from over 50 years ago, titled "Indian Matchbox Labels: Shining a new light on kitsch, art and the economy". Their bizarre stylization offers a unique cultural aesthetic, pushing India's post-colonial design culture into the forefront of my own illustration work.
