Get Inspired. Make Work. Together.
Deep Dive into Themes for your Art & Illustration projects in a community of Creatives working together.
Hello Friends! 👋 I’m Raj. I’m an Artist, Illustrator and Design Director for Brands with 25 years Industry Experience working for some of the most exciting, renowned Brand Agencies in London, New York and across Europe.
I’m obsessed with filling sketchbooks and developing my personal creative practice - and here on Substack I share all my creative development and processes.
For everyone – ‘Get Inspired’
I’m thrilled you’re here, and so grateful for the attention of your eyeballs. I’ll share with you:
Sketchbook Tours (Look for the free ones)
‘Loose Lines & Warm Ups’ - Watch me Draw. I regularly hop on to Lives, which I am LOVING, and ALL subscribers get access to the replays.
When inspiration strikes, I will share!

Paid Subscription – ‘Make Work’
You’re a Creative developing your own practice. Filling sketchbooks, obsessing about personal projects and excited to geek out on materials, colour, deep diving into themes and sharing your own processes. However, you want to focus on one Project at a time and get it done. This space is for you.
‘Project 5’ – 1 Theme every 2 months. 5 Themes in total.
Dive deep into one theme and work together with us to complete a self-designed project. I provide you with a presentation on a theme, where I share my insights working as a Design Director for Brands. Examples of Commercial Projects, Inspiration from ‘real’ work and lots of ideas. In depth video posts that I can my ‘TED Talks’. I’ll share my projects alongside yours, and we work together.
Find out more details by listening to this podcast episode:Support: I am available in our private chat to ask for feedback any time.
Zoom Calls: Staring June 2025: STUDIO SESSIONS: Work together in a Live Zoom call every 2 weeks. We work through each Theme together.
Lives ‘Loose Lines & Warm Ups’: Draw with me Live. Paid members will get access to all the references I use in advance of going Live.
I’m experimenting with how each 2 month stint will run - it will be flexible and experimental. This is a ‘learn as I go’ scenario, so expect every Theme to bring something different!
For paid subs, there’s also a whole bunch of additional content where I geek out on materials, past projects & process videos, Vlogs, Private Podcast feed and Unlock ALL of my personal Sketchbook Tours.
Why join?
I bring my ‘Design Director’ brain to my own creative work. I don’t even realise I am doing it - it’s in the way I plan projects, analyse my approach, make decisions. It’s automatic. I want to find a way to bring this knowledge to you, which is why I created the Creative Community and the Themes that we work to within it.
I plan to make focussed workshops in future - but for now, you get to pick my ‘Pro / Design Director’ brain and access some pretty fab content for a bargain investment.
Come on in! I’m excited to get to share what I know, and also learn from you.
Any questions?
This Substack has evolved and changed over the past couple of years. A LOT. So if you have any questions, know that I am here and happy to answer - drop a hello and question in the comments and I’ll get back to you!
