14 Cartoons (Made By An American Dude) That Perfectly Sum Up Life In India

Nailed it.

Jeff Lewonczyk, a New York-based artist, travelled to Mumbai, Bengaluru, and New Delhi in March of 2014 and decided to draw one cartoon for each of his 14 days in the country.

Jeff told BuzzFeed India that he’d been trying to build his skills as a cartoonist, and was looking for any opportunity to do so. “The trip to India seemed like a perfect fit – I’d be able to observe and draw things that were new to me, and it would give me a unique way to process my experience and stay connected to everyone at home,” Jeff said. He hopes to come back and do a second series on India, and possibly even turn the entire collection into a book.

Below are a few of the cartoons he made, all of which perfectly sum up life in India.
