Some people have a way with words and some people let their pictures do all the talking. Digital art and social media has made it possible for modern-day Picassos to showcase how talented and aesthetically-pleasing their work is. Pakistani artists included!
So when #SouthAsianArtists started trending this weekend, we were gobsmacked, transfixed, even sent to a whole new world once we saw these beauteous creations coming out from Pakistani artists.
Going through some of the artwork on the #SouthAsianArtists tag and oh my god HOW are people so talented! 😲😲😲

Its a bird, its a plane, no its Superman from Karachi. Kumail Rizvi has totally floored us with his spin on the big blue boy scout.
#SouthAsianArtists Hi! I'm Kumail, Muslim + British Pakistani. I make the comic Kahlil, about what if Superman crash landed in Karachi instead of Kansas (https://t.co/BW3qqql31r)
I also make the "The Common Wealth" too!
