Where's the Dude?

Combining cutting-edge design, illustration and journalism, bi-monthly print magazine Little White Lies is the leading indie film magazine. It has been described as being 'at the vanguard of the independent publishing movement.' Sharm Murugiah arrived at commercial art in the "best way possible" – the long way. After initially training as an architect, for seven years in total, the now-illustrator always knew he wanted to draw for a living. After a stint at Scribbler and later LEON restaurants, Sharm set up on his own as a freelance artist. And so, Studio Murugiah was born. Since then, Sharm has become renowned for his off-beat cartoon style inspired by the comics of his youth and covering a range of subjects from surreal imagery to character-filled creations. In 2014, he won a D&AD award and has exhibited his work in galleries from France to the USA.
