ABOUT

The Dog That Wanted Everything is a children's book I'm currently working on, inspired by a collection of ancient literature called the Jataka Tales.

Originated in India, the stories commonly depict animals as the central characters to help teach children important lessons about life. Using a similar narrative structure, the protagonist fails a series of challenges and seeks the guidance of a Buddha-like figure who helps the dog find his purpose. The same way the story draws inspiration from ancient writings, the illustrations pay homage to primitive cave paintings, utilizing simple outlines and bold shades of red to evoke a sense of raw and primitive energy.

Note - This is a long shot, but I'm currently looking for a publisher for this project. If you are a publisher or know of anyone who might be interested, please get in touch! Thank you
