Competitions.......in Poetry!

Muhammad Ayub Khan (Bzai)

Contributing Illustrator

I was born in Peshawar, Pakistan and I am still living in this region. I received my Master’s Degree (M.A) in social work from the University of Peshawar. I am self-taught in using the following programs: Photoshop, CorelDraw, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Premier Pro, etc. I am currently working as a freelancer in multiple platforms. My skills are line art, sketching, logo design, one-line drawing (pen & ink), manga drawings, coloring books, comics, cartoons, and more. 

In 2020, I interpreted patafea’s Conceptual Sketches into line drawings for, “HECK NO! TECH NO! A Humorous Glimpse t the Madness of Technology!” and a smaller Edition, “HECK NO! TECH NO! LIMERICKS & HAIKU”.  For this book, ‘A Glimpse at Me…Stumbling Through PTSD, which is a different art style from my work, I was asked to contribute some of my line drawings that were needed in a variety of places. 

My hobbies are reading, hunting, watching movies, spending special time with my family and playing with my dog, Peter.
