Jit Chowdhury’s Sketchbook Is Full Of Strange Characters And Clever Puns

Homegrown Staff

Kolkata-based visual artist and storyteller Jit Chowdhury’s sketchbook is full of the most bizarre and intricate illustrations based on his surroundings, his mood or just snippets from a certain train of thought. Homegrown stumbled upon these sketches and found them incredibly endearing and intriguing, in equal measure. We absolutely love the sketches he’s held up to a background, as though giving the whole project more context. Also particularly interesting were the details of some of the hyperbolic interpretations of situations and conversations that a lot of us can actually relate to. Jit gives us a glimpse into his world, populated by strange characters and a quiet, all-pervading sense of humour:
