Bhajju Shyam for Tara Books

Lush tribal interpretations of The Little Mermaid, by Gond Artist Bhajju Shyam. I love the updated retelling of this fairytale classic. From their website, "The Flight of the Mermaid is a feminist parable on the warring claims of love and choice." Buy the book here.

The Wall Project

This Independance day (Aug 15th) saw the dreamers of Mumbai city coming together to paint the somewhat sordid walls of Tulsi Pipe Road with aspirational messages and images. A simple but infectious idea that has taken many a hobbyist artist's fancy in metropolitan India. The Wall project started it all. Check their website for the story. Facebook for more images.

Kamal refers to her stationery collection as a triangular love affair between paper , art and a good impression. This Prat Grad lives and works in NYC. More lovely stuff at her website.
