Born in 1983, I have been fascinated by art in all its forms my entire life. My interests range from the graphic stylings of Steve Ditko’s first Spider Man cover to Salvador Dalí’s sublime Metamorphosis of Narcissus. My deep love of sequential art led me to study New Media Communication at Ryerson University (TMU) in Toronto, Canada. After returning to Pakistan, I worked across creative fields including advertising, graphic design, and animation before venturing into the world of art.

I've always loved a great story, but as a dyslexic child, novels felt out of reach. Instead, I found magic in comics where images spoke louder than words. Comics and cartoons were not just entertainment; they showed me how storytelling could live within a composition. Now I build my own universe called “STUFFS,” inhabited by characters with unique personalities, each one literally made from different stuff just like the world that shaped them. The world of STUFFS is constantly evolving. I keep adding characters and stories, each an opportunity for further artistic expression.
I begin by hand drawing characters from my world of STUFFS in poses that highlight their distinct personalities. I then translate these sketches into clean digital vector illustrations and produce limited edition prints. Each print is finished by hand, using ink and markers to add expressive strokes and halftone shading. This blend of digital precision and tactile detailing gives every piece its own unique character and depth.
