Awarded Honorable Mention in the Book category for the Society of Illustrators Los Angeles ILW 56, and Gerakbudaya Readers' Choice Award for Best Cover Design.
Pleased to have illustrated the wraparound cover for Gerakbudaya's edition of 'A Life Beyond Boundaries', the memoir by Benedict Anderson. He wrote 'Imagined Communities', probably the most widely read text on nationalism, and his life's work demonstrates the inseparability of politics and scholarship. The concept of an insular frog beneath a coconut shell comes from a Malay proverb ('katak di bawah tempurung') and is used in the book.
Process
For GB's blog, I wrote a brief walkthrough of how this was made .
YOUR LIFE, THE GREATEST INFLUENCE
Most people who spend time complaining about life never had it hard enough.
People who have it really tough don’t have the time and energy to complain. They are way too busy trying to survive, excel or find their place in this world.
It’s only those who encounter very minor setbacks who lift up a howl of complaints when things don’t go as planned.
What I’ve also found is that usually, individuals who have a very small scope on life, see every set back as a monstrous challenge. The real reason this happens is because they have very limited vision for their lives and cannot conceptualize themselves making a major contribution to life. Every challenge that shows up seems much bigger than it actually is.
DO NOT BE LIKE THESE PEOPLE, YOU ARE BETTER THAN THIS!!!
You were brought here for a purpose and while it may seem simple to you, the magic to life is that you have no idea whatsoever just how far your words, ideas, concepts, acts and contributions may go.
Sometimes you realize it later down, other times you may never know. That’s just how life is, but it happens whether you can see it or not.
There is no instrument known to man to measure the degree or impact our influence has on others.
Beyond Boundaries Construction
If you haven’t done this already, strive to live a full and abundant life, knowing that life itself supports all our dreams, ambitions and good intentions.
From this moment on, every week spend a little time in front of your mirror and DO NOT move until you find something new that’s worth loving.
Understand this, if you were really “ugly”, you would not have made it this far. Which can lead us to the theory that you might just be beautiful in every way, just the way you presently are. A masterpiece who knows?
Wake up every day knowing that we are children of God and that every available resource has been already provided for the fulfillment of our divine purpose. Backup yahoo email.
Live your life like you mean it, live with passion, live with the freedom to make the choices that best serve your values.
Beyond Boundaries Clothing
Continually strive to upgrade those values.
Keep your mind, body and spirit clean and pure.
Never complain, every encounter in your life has been given to you as a conditioner for the soul. Embrace them and grow stronger.
And if you have read this far, know that life itself is still good to you, because you have the ability to read this, you have the time available for something inspirational and there’s still something within you that craves for a higher level of existence.
Do not suppress this feeling, simply set it free.

And, live with passion!
