Tomorrow, Again — Old Styles, New Stories
Tomorrow, Again reimagines modern commuting through the visual language of nineteenth-century London omnibus illustrations by Nadar. Using four historical reference images, I developed a custom vintage-inspired style in Recraft Studio. I applied this style to seven new scenes exploring modern travel challenges, including digital tickets, smartphone navigation, traffic, missing luggage, and wireless earbuds. The project explores how technology changes while everyday commuting frustrations remain surprisingly familiar.

200 years ago, local artists painted the everyday people of the subcontinent: barbers, porters, chai wallas, knife sharpeners. Each one got a portrait, flat colours, a fancy border, total respect.
So I asked: what if those same painters time travelled to Lahore today?
I found their work in the Wellcome Collection’s public domain archive, trained a Recraft Style on it, and sent it to paint the new pesha of my city.
Same old painter, new Lahore. 😄
Love this. Giving chai wallas and porters that old portrait treatment again feels really respectful. The borders are beautiful.

Inspired by antique illustrations, forgotten inventions, and surreal planetary landscapes, I’m developing “THE UNDISCOVERED FUTURE” — a fictional archive where yesterday’s artistic imagination meets tomorrow’s possibilities.
The goal is to transform a historical visual language into something unexpected, cohesive, and entirely new.
Sometimes, the most interesting vision of the future comes from looking into the past.
