My latest column for Cha: An Asian Literary Journal dives into the life and story of Indian-American artist Sai Pradhan and the inspirations for her exhibition, With Regard to Myths. It’s got geckos and dogs in it. What more could you want from art? I had the pleasure of attending Sai’s mythical preview tonight and you definitely don’t want to miss it!!!

Thanks so much Tammy Ho Lai-ming for the care and attention you put into making every piece pop! You can read my first conversation for Cha with fine artist George Tang Kwok-wing here.

I love connecting with established and emerging visual artists as art editor for the HKWC‘s quirky lit mag! Issue 9 of The Apostrophe on the theme of ‘ROOTS‘ featured a cracking cover by Bethan Clark and stand-out artwork by Sai Pradhan and Ilos Ilyas Elias Kirkan, who has also been Mental Ideas‘ most prolific contributor in quite some time!

The theme for Issue 10 was PASSION. This one featured an exquisite cover by Ilos Ilyas Elias Kirkan and more delectable artwork by Jade Bryant (cover artist Issue 1), Anthony Roussell, Carl Scharwath, Susan Pollet, Tiziana Rasile and Ricky Sadiosa. If you’re passionate about art and would like to submit to our next issue (theme is ‘FLEX’), please reach out!
