Jit Gurung

When I first came across Jit Gurung, he was at his desk working on a pile of illustrations.

He is a serious artist who I sometimes compare to R. Crumb. Jit works in Pokhara, a

resort town centered around a large lake in Nepal. I found him by admiring a beauty

shop sign featuring a clear portrait of Angelina Jolie and asking around about the artist.

He does wonderfully accurate portraits of people.
