It was fun to once again create a cover for some deliciously juicy bass tracks to be released by Govinda! My favorite thing about creating the music is listening to the (usually unreleased) music that I'm creating an image for. I always feel like I'm getting the inside scoop, knowing how amazing all the music is before anyone else hears it. 

   This week he is preparing to travel to California to perform at first year festival Heart and Soulstice Gathering : Metamorphosis.
He plans to release the new music behind this cover soon, so stay tuned ! I'll be sure to add the tracks to this post as soon as they are made public. For now, enjoy the sneak peak of the cover and the mysterious vibe he is cultivating . I'll give you a hint , the new music definitely includes magic and also hip hop touches, as well as the usual enchanting violin that we all know and love ! 

I'm not normally one to share works in progress on my website, but I am so excited about what I'm working on currently that I just had to ! 
I wrote a long poem a few years ago about being swallowed by the sea. The sea is a metaphor for human emotion & the inner sanctum of my consciousness and my experience of myself. The poem touches on how I chose to be there for myself during a hard emotional time in my life, this comforting aspect manifested as the african goddess Yemanja of the sea. So far, I've illustrated the beginning sketches of the first part of the poem which includes her. She is pictured here to the left of me, making the form on the right a representation of my vulnerable emotional body. 

I am excited to reveal this as a series of illustrations alongside calligraphic text I create of my poem . I will be sure to include more updates as they develop here. For now, here is a look into my studio and my first concepts. Sometimes the most exciting part for me is not the finished illustration, but the process I go through to make it to completion.
