Sanjay’s been getting a lot of press these days since the new book dropped. Check out some of the most recent articles and interviews:
Here’s some more GH ink in a different form. Brian (Super 7) sent me this pic recently that he took a couple months ago at A.P.E. Yep that’s a tattoo of Lakshmi from Sanjay’s 1st book. Any other Ghee Happy or even *PMH tattoos out there? Send the pics over, we’ll hook you up with some free *PMH merch!
Here are a couple pictures from last Saturdays book signing Sanjay did at Super 7. Here he is gettin started, reppin that new GrainEdit shirt.
Lines out the door for 2 1/2 hours…..
Admireers. The next generation.

We launched Sanjay’s new website for Ghee Happy last week! Check it out!
Sanjay also ran a limited edition silkscreen print, which you can get only at *PMH. Get yours today, we only printed 200, and they’re only $25 each ! ! ! !
It has only been a couple weeks since the book dropped and it’s already been getting a lot of press, pretty exciting. Cover of the East Bay Express people! You can read the article here.
I got my copy of Sanjay’s new book back in December, I forgot to share it with you guys earlier. Here are a couple snapshots. The book should be available to everyone in a couple weeks or so.
Also, I’ve been working on the new Ghee Happy website, it’ll go live next week! Keep checking back here, cause there’s a new limited print dropping soon as well!
Are you guys ready?
I took over Sanjay’s crib in Oakland while he’s been traveling throughout Asia, the last 2 months. I wish I could’ve joined, but it didn’t work out this time around, I needed to stick around the States. 2010 for sure!
Here are some great shots from the past couple weeks. Chillin’ on the mothaship….

See you next week buddy.
This past weekend was definitely full of labor (of love.)
I headed out to Oakland on Friday to work on Sanjay’s book. I knew there was a lot to do before Tuesday’s deadline, but I didn’t realize I would be at his place for 4 days straight! It’s been great seeing this book from its early stages in March ’07 all the way to the final details. It feels special to be part of this project and to have Sanjay in my daily life ever since I got to SF. I’ve dedicated myself to *PMH and it’s inspiring to have someone close in my life working on the same foundation, South Asian pop culture.
I can’t wait for this book to drop, it’s gonna make a lot of waves.
We went thru every page on screen and in print a number of times, bringing out a finer tooth for each round
After working nonstop, we started taking shifts, so we wouldn’t burn out.
Time to clock in….
We took a nice break on Sunday and headed to Marin….
hung out at the beach for a minute….
and then headed back to work….with some breaks in between….
added some late night tacos in the mix…..
This massage chair at Pixar is so intense, I need one!
The 5 days were fueled by chai, eggs, coffee and take out.
I finally got back home on Monday night. Cleaned up, made some final changes on Tuesday morning, and dropped off the final files to Chronicle. Here’s Emily the Editor holding the final book on the thumb drive. Thanks for the lunch Chronicle! Man, I definitely got loopy after that daytime wine. Look for the book on March 1, 2010!!
It’s been close to 4 years since Sanjay (Ghee Happy) started working on his second book, Ramayana/Divine Loophole. I’ve been lucky to be part of the process ever since I moved out to San Francisco, almost 2 and a half years ago. It’s been great to see the steps, from the story boarding to the various illustration styles that he was exploring. It’s crazy how many variations of the book this kid went through, it’s been very inspiring to see each and every step.
The past couple weeks I’ve been getting in the files and helping with the type/copy in the book. So last week Sanjay and I headed downtown into Chronicle Books to have a meeting with Emily and Michael to discuss some changes as well as to check out some color proofs that they just got back from China.
Of coarse I had to take some pictures during the meeting.
Here’s a first peak at the new book, exclusive shit y’all!
Nice shirt buddy.
The book lands in the Spring of 2010. This is only the beginning….
After a great meal at House of Nanking in SF a couple weekends ago, Sanjay (GheeHappy) and I headed to the south bay, on my mom’s request,……
to wait in this room for 2 1/2 hours……..
….to meet up with this badass……for some brown magic!
People are hardcore believers of this moustached man. His name is Dr. Naram, and he’s got his own show on Zee TV. He practices ancient healing techniques, supposedly a master in the science of Ayurveda. Check out this clip of him helping out some firefighters in NYC after 9-11. He doesn’t restrict his clientele to only humans. The day before we got there a person brought their 2 wolves for a checkup. He’s supposedly a healer of all things.
Damn I need some crazy photos like these, too cool. I think that’s Bubbles?
Dr. Naram’s gatekeepers, kept us entertained during our long wait…..
After waiting for a couple hours, it was my time! I went in, he touched my wrist asked me a couple questions about my health, and within 4 minutes I was out with a couple prescriptions. The whole experience was a bit rushed, which made it feel a bit scammish, but I’m trying to look at it in a positive light. I’ll let you guys know in a couple months after I start taking his herbs.
Word. Spread the Ghee Happy / *PMH love Dr. Naram!!
Death Cab for Cutie was in town playing a show in Berkley this weekend,
Mr. Sanjay (Ghee Happy) was invited by the band (again) to check them out.
He brought the band some*PMH goodies! Here he is backstage after the show.

Thanks for the pictures Emily!
