Cool illustrator alert- Sanjay Patel!

Today, I am glad to stumbled upon talented illustrator, Sanjay Patel. He is a supervising animator and storyboard artist at Pixar Animation Studios in Emeryville, California. Since 2006, Patel has been illustrating retellings of ancient Hindu mythology. Under the brand name Ghee Happy (named for the claried butter commonly used in Indian cooking), Patel has created a line of books, apparel, and other products that celebrate Indian traditions through his distinctly fun and modern design sensibility. Starting from November 11, 2011 through April 22, 2012, Patel will have his own exhibition 'Deities, Demons and Dudes with 'Staches: Indian Avatars by Sanjay Patel' at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco.



Let's check out some of his gorgeous work below.

Honestly, when I saw his work for the first time, I was truly fascinated before I even found out that he is going to have his own exhibit in the museum. I just love how he infused ancient Hindu epic about gods, demons and mythology and turned them into modern and captivating illustrations. What do you think of his work? Do you find it appealing? Which aspect about his work do you like best?
