The Hero's Journey

 So this year, I was chosen as the featured artist of the year at the INK Conference

yay! :) its been so exciting keeping a secret like this for the last 5 months!

but here it is! twelve illustrations that I'd created for the conference about 

the Hero's journey by Joseph Campbell!

Campbell spoke about how every man and woman follows the same ancient archetypal journey,

be it in myth, or in real life. 

here is a glimpse of that magical journey!

available as prints as well

First is a call to adventure, setting off on a paper boat into a world full of 

unknown possibilities along a path less travelled

 Then one meets a mentor, a friend, a co-traveller and companion that influences the

way we imagine and see things.

Connections are Made

and Choices too

'She jumps in, to choose safe waters is the route of imposters,

those who love take on the mighty river'

Fears are faced

We set off into magic flights into other worlds of silver moon and shimmer.

Challenges are over come

We have a moment of Revelation

Until we come home, where the heart is.

Looking forward we find ourselves facing a vast ocean, on one hand rockets in the sky and technological marvel, but on the other rising tides and changing climates

It was a set of 12 illustrations, 12 animations, a huge stage designed and an entire book of doodles! :)

More from my journey to Jaipur coming soon!

Love
