Danger Dogs from Nepal – Folk Art from the Himalayas

Manoj
Manoj is from the Lakeside district of the resort town of Pokhara.
He was recommended by a local motorcycle mechanic for his
prowess with gas tank art. Indeed, I more often see him riding
around town with his motorcycle than in his shop.
He puts a glow around his Danger Dogs, and uses a palette of
pastels that is his alone. He is part of a group of Lakeside artists
that would sit around and compare their Danger Dogs. Good for
me as this competition fostered good art.
His brother is a well-known musician in the area, and also paints.
His earlier work is signed M. Arts, and it was only after much
cajoling that he began to sign his own name.
