What we do

Hi, I’m Gaurav — I make art (watercolour and Procreate, mostly) and I write. Been circling the same well of subjects for years now: Indian folk traditions, mythology, faces, and the old stories that never quite let go of me. The writing goes wherever those same interests take it — literary fiction, mythological thrillers, domestic suspense, the occasional speculative detour. I put both on this site because honestly they’re the same obsession wearing different clothes.

I take commissions too. Portraits, custom illustrations, wedding invites and stationery, anything with a folklore bent. If you need a book cover or editorial illustration, ask — I like that kind of work and take it on when the project fits. I add new pieces and stories as they’re done, no fixed schedule.

Want to talk about a piece, or just say hi! Email me or drop a DM at @inkhatch on Instagram.
