cvIntroduction
Born: UK 1975. Living and working in UK.
Nirmal Singh Dhiman is a visual artist, illustrator and designer based in Crawley, West Sussex, UK, who works on award winning interactive design and websites, illustration projects, sequential art / comics / graphic stories, animation/ motion graphics, photography, design for print, vector/bitmap image making and typeface design:
In particular, I like to make drawings and paintings using watercolour, gouache, inks, collage, letraset, found elements, verse or prose, as well as with various electronic means.
In 1996, I found an unused diary from 1969. In which I started to make a drawing a day, a process which evolved into a drawing about that day's experiences - a project that I have been working on ever since.
Now that the project has over ten years worth of work (in excess of 4000 drawings). I am looking to exhibit the drawings. In the two years since ive started to exhibit the work, the diaries have already been shown on BBC television, radio and on various internet sites.
At work, I am an interactive and graphic designer, where my duties include project management, design, construction, and the updating of Sites, email communications, banners/overlays, animations, interactive games, CD-ROMs and printed matter for a variety of clients (small to medium to global corporations).
I am able to use a wide range of creative and office productivity software suites to produce a variety of internet and print based design, including formats and technologies such as flash, html, css, javascript, dhtml, asp, mov and pdf.
