Buy Somesh Kumar a coffee

My name is Somesh Kumar. I am a Graphic Designer and Illustrator, working out of Bengaluru, India. "Little by Little" is my personal project that I have been pursuing almost full-time, in addition to raising my two-year-old daughter, Sufi.

This is my story of growing up in Bihar. I was born in a small town called Arrah. Because of my mother's transferable job, I had to move to different parts of Bihar but my father had to stay back at Arrah because of the nature of his job. While moving from one place to another, I came to realise that my father had slowly turned into an alcoholic. This story surrounds my journey through the changing landscape of Bihar and coming to terms with my father’s drinking habit.

This project of mine has taken on a shape of its own and, with each passing day, I figure out what a massive task it is to work on long-form comics. Please support my work on the novel by Buying me a Coffee.

UPDATE!

I have signed a publishing contract that restricts me from sharing pages from the novels online. However, the good news is that the book is expected to be released in 2026. I am working on the last chapter now, which has become a mammoth one, but this is the last lap, and sometimes, you just have to find a reserve of energy to take you to the finish line. Wish me luck, and thank you for all the generosity that has come my way. Your love and support played a big role in keeping me going.
