While working in a post office in the UK, he kept on painting as a hobby along with sorting out letters. Later, he started displaying and selling his works in the art streets for a meagre 5 to 10 pounds. Slowly people started noticing his unusual work and he got recognition through his major solo exhibition at South Bank Gallery. Victoria and Albert Museum and British Council bought a lot of his paintings. While coming back to Pakistan, he had handed over about 2,000 drawings to the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, as it was not possible to display them here.
