About Me
- Thommy
- While young I enjoyed sketching people around and at school I was notorious for cartooning my teachers. My first cartoon appeared in print when I was only 17 and over 2000 have now appeared in publications around the world: The Express, The Week, Onlooker & City Journal (India), India-New England, Malayalam Patram & New-Indian Express (USA), Malayalam News (UAE) & CNN. I am a scientist involved in advancing new energy technologies and earned my Ph.D from IIT-M. I am a recipient of UNESCO fellowship for promising young scientists and an author of ~ 75 papers & 15 patents. Cartooning keeps me creative in my pursuit of excellence in R&D. In 2003, Kerala Center (NY) honored me for “Extraordinary combination of talents as an Outstanding Scientist & Gifted Cartoonist”. My cartoons have won the Union of Concerned Scientists (USA)contest (2008), “Chemistry is Life” International Contest by UNESCO (2010) and Kerala Lalithakala Academy Honorable Mention Award (2011). While at IIT, I met renowned cartoonist, Shri. R.K. Laxman and inspired me pursue cartooning along with science. This what I crave to do.

MF will go into history as the stark reality of the hypocrisy of what we claim as tolerant, secular and free India.
Anil : Thank you...its very sad...we are in the same class as those who tried to kill the Dannish cartoonist.
I do not really have anything going for celebrity artists of any kind, but I must acknowledge the man's contribution towards introducing Indian commercial paintings to the world stage.
And to the other comments, there is an old saying - "The freedom to swing your hand ends where the other's nose begins". Those who swing their hands and poke their noses might do well to be aware of that.
ശരിക്കും കരയണം
