About.

Nina Chakrabarti was born and raised in India explaining some of her unique hand drawn designs. She now lives and works in London and enjoys working with other people when the opportunity presents itself. She works using Rotring pens, felt tips, biros, pencils, inks and the Apple Macintosh.

From 'Marks And Spencer'.

These all look like brushes, but I'm going to go ahead and say that the artist designed them herself. They are very elegant and perfect for advertising M&S. This project is on display in the women's changing room in all Marks and Spencer stores, or at least it would have been.

From 'Stephen Shore'.

From what I have gathered, this project was based on the photographs taken by Stephen Shore. I think they are hand drawn representations of his work from 'American Surfaces'. The way she has drawn the hair is my favourite aspect of this picture and I also think her concept is really good. It is something I think I should look into.

From 'Voodoo Queens'.

I love this image. I don't know why because lets face it, it's really creepy. It reminds me of something from a horror movie due to the dark eyes and the illustrations remind me of blood, pouring out of the subjects eyes and mouth.

From 'Magazine Doodles'.

At first I thought the drawings were in paint but now they actually remind me of make-up, like lip-stick or nail polish. I think it is a really good idea though If I were to do something like this I would be tempted to emphasise the concept of making the pretty girls in the magazine ugly. I don't think that is what Chakrabarti is suggesting though, because the image still has a nice appearance, the model is not ruined. I think that the artist would have used several layers to make this, although having said that the subjects cheek is a bit crinkly, proposing the idea that it was drawn straight on. Whatever medium she used was wet and then dried, causing that bumpy effect.
