I'm Era, and I'm based in New Delhi, India. I used to draw a lot of cats as a kid, and somehow that turned into my full-time job. I'm an illustrator and visual designer who loves creating cute, playful, and slightly silly work. Over the years, I've had the opportunity to work with brands and organizations including Hyundai, Absolut, DailyObjects, and TEDx and may more.

Catastrophe

A pun-filled illustrated zine dedicated to cats and the chaos they create. Combining silly wordplay, expressive characters, and silly cats.

Hair and There

An illustrated collection documenting the many personalities of hair. From questionable haircuts to impossible bedhead and iconic hairstyles, the zine captures how something as ordinary as hair can become a source of identity, humour, and storytelling.

Future Bingo

An interactive publication imagining possible futures through a game of bingo. Instead of predicting a single future, the project invites people to think about strange inventions, unexpected technologies, everyday absurdities, and speculative scenarios.

Extra Terrestrial

A personal illustration series imagining a playful universe filled with aliens, planets, and bizarre cosmic creatures.

Strange Atmosphere

A collection that transforms everyday apparel into a vibrant extraterrestrial world. Featuring original illustrations of planets, aliens, and strange cosmic landscapes, the collection spans apparel and accessories.

KAI Jewellery

Papier-Mâché Jewellery
A handmade jewellery collection crafted from papier-mâché and inspired by cats, everyday objects, and playful forms. Each lightweight piece is individually sculpted and hand painted, turning illustrations into wearable art.

Chashmish

Chashmish is a Hindi word commonly used to describe someone who wears glasses.
A zine exploring the experience of wearing glasses through illustrations and observations. Drawing from over 15 years of being "chashmish," the project celebrates foggy lenses, awkward tan lines, broken frames, and the circumstances that only people with glasses truly understand.
