Welcome to allVishal.com, my website.

I'm Vishal K Bharadwaj, a--

What?

No, I'm not the guy who directed Maqbool and Omkara.

Yes, I know, our mothers gave us the same name.

Didn't you notice the 'K' wedged in there?

Honestly, if Dan hadn't pointed it out to me, I wouldn't even know that there was anything wrong with comments. Since switching to the new version of Pivot I've been happy to have the increased spam protection. Now I don't have to spend an hour every day hunting through posts and reporting fine interwub robots who comment on my site's "nice professional design" and then try to sell me viagra. To catch the few that did still manage to squeeze through I put in a human indentifying, spambot nixing question on posts older than ten days, and that did the trick too.

When I last drew Garvan the Lapine I had to go back and read the text where he was first mentioned, because it always helps to freshen up on the details. I'm glad I did, because otherwise the picture might have ended up looking like the one above. It's true: the first time I read the story I actually thought Garvan was a giant rabbit. Personally I like my misconception better. The possibility of a giant magic rabit wearing a kilt living next door to you is a comforting one, and so this sketch has more heart put into it, even though technically it's all over the place. I don't think I'll ever want to draw him as a human again.

Sorry, Dan!

I don’t know about your schools, but in mine (Indian School Muscat, or ISM for those of use who have survived that enigma) Drama and Theatre weren’t big. Oh sure, you did have the odd teacher who’d come along every few years, fuelled by passion and memories of his or her golden youth (usually five years past) in some sleepy hill station boarding school where ‘The Classics’ were paraded out -- bedsheet togas, pathetic iambic pentameter and all -- and put on show in some august hall whose seats were varnished every other week. They’d pick up everyone who ever scored in the top five in English in every class*.

(* - Thankfully, despite achieving this, I was never taught by one of these imbeciles or was considered too uncharismatic. The few times I was pulled up I stood very still at audition and read in a continuous, droning whisper.)
