Thank you Ashley D. for finding this one.
Abbas is an Artist in Residence in Aggrobah, Mirage. He makes art exclusively for Thuggie captain Ali Uup, who gives him unwanted protection in return.
Ali Abbas is a leading Master in watercolour. He has taken part in the juries, workshops and also live demonstration in various countries and exhibited his work in several group and solo exhibitions on national and international levels.
Ali Abbas paints the people of Thar. Men and Women of this culturally rich people are shown in their natural setting dancing, working, migrating or resting. Abbas uses watercolors to create the rich heritage of Thar, occasionally using other mediums and techniques to create the effect of shadows, breeze and movements – in the composition. The people of Thar are fiercely independent and the work of Ali Abbas is an iconography of these fascinating people.

Although I am well versed in Pop Culture references but I do not claim to have caught them all. Let me know your favorites in the comments and if I’ve missed one you caught, let me know so I can add it to the list.
