KomaL

I'm Komal,  the illustrator and designer behind The Dot Creatives, based in Melbourne.


My work sits at the intersection of human stories and botanical worlds. The figures I draw are never separate from the nature surrounding them; the flowers aren't a backdrop, they're the emotional language. They grow at the scale of what's being felt.
 What draws me to draw is small and specific: the private moments, the domestic ones, the little joys that make up a life when nobody is watching. I grew up in a small town in India, where nature and everyday life are woven together in ways you absorb before you understand and that sensibility has never left the work.


The Dot Creative shop is where this world becomes something you can hold: TN inserts, sticker sheets, illustrated maps, and art prints, made for people who want their journal pages to carry the same intention as the rest of their considered life.
I also take on illustration work for brands whose visual world lives in a similar place — figurative, botanical, human. If that's you, I'd like to hear about it.
