Home from India

by matt

Fresh back from a month traveling around India. Two weeks in the north and two in the south. Sunrise on the Ganges in the middle of a langur migration (sketches above; we inspected each other from a respectful distance), a Royal Enfield motorbike trip through the mountains (check that off the bucket list), endless meals of the best vegetarian food I’ve ever eaten, penance in the bathroom, swimming in the Arabian sea and all sorts of wonderful clichés involving Yoga and spirituality that mean a lot to me but I wouldn’t dare foist on anyone else.

I have a book full of sketches and notes which I’ll post soon in one form or another.

In the meantime, my new comic book, Jinchalo, has been printed. I haven’t held it yet, but Drawn and Quarterly – and especially Tracy Hurren (who did production on this book and put up with my persistent and ignorant inquiries and requests) – have posted some preview photos.

The book will be released in February 2012 but you can pre-order it now on Amazon.
