Boris Aravindabalan, aka “Sketchman Boris,” is the founder of bkk UNZINE, envisioned as a platform to promote both fledgling and established artists alike, bkk UNZINE (pronounced “un-ZEEN,” like “unseen”) began life as an art magazine featuring the work of artists from the Bangkok art scene and beyond, and organizes events and activities to promote art appreciation and patronage.

In 2022, we established the annual BKK Comics Art Festival to celebrate the unique medium of comic books and in 2024 officially opened UNZINE 95 as a collaborative haven for artists and art enthusiasts providing a community space for creativity, learning, networking and growth.
Growing up in India, Boris discovered his love for drawing and, combined with hours and hours of cartoons and movies, he realized that not only did he just love reading and watching stories, but he also wanted to have the same impact on others as the creators whose work he enjoyed had on him.
