Mumbai Confidential site now has a new look

Posted on December 19, 2009 by mohaps

I decided to unleash my nerd-ery to try and code a new wordpress template for Mumbai Confidential website. So read up a few resources on the web and one night’s coding binge got the new theme (aptly called “Mumbai Confidential Custom 1“) up and running.

Details are here.

Lately I have been experimenting with a minimal black and white style for hardboiled crime novels. As befits my limited artistic talent, I have been working off of photo references. Here are some of the pieces I have done in recent times.

Ever since the “Liquification” of Virgin Comics things have been a bit light on the writing front. So I decided to take some time off to focus more on life especially my daughter, Adya.

I just sent in a script for a graphic novel commisioned by an indian publisher about the legend of Abhimanyu from the Mahabharata. So I end 2008 with a clean slate.

What’s in store for 2009?

Well there’s Mumbai Confidential , my creator owned crime-noir series set in the city of Mumbai (duh!). Also have started putting together a few pitches as the conn season opens with NYCC in first week Feb ’09. There is a full length OGN project called SYZYGY that was in discussion with Archaia Studio Press around last SDCC, but in light of the restructuring there decided to wait till things settle down before bugging Mark Smylie (owner of ASP and all around awesome guy!) with it. So first half of 2009 will see that in full swing too.

There pitches and feelers/schmoozes pending with some other companies, which hopefully will translate into gigs in 2009.

So all in looking forward to a fruitful 2009 and while I’m at it — a happy new year to you and yours.

I’ve started collaborating with Sid Kotian (EAT THE DEAD, THE STRANDED) on a crime noir comic book set in Mumbai called MUMBAI CONFIDENTIAL. We just got the blog/site online at www.mumbaiconfidential.com. Site is still under construction, will update it with some fantastic pencils/inks Sid has sent in, soon-ish.
