mama india, wandering child – blog
November 22, 2009
Photographer (and Mama to Baby Arun) Rachel Movitz recently commissioned me to create a blog banner for her. She, her husband and baby Arun are headed back to India tomorrow for 3 months! Despite my book and other work deadlines, I snuck it into my late night schedule because I have had several dreams lately that we went back to India, too, with Tulsi (!). I am “too” excited for them! Since we don’t have plans anytime soon to go back, I’ll be living wildly thru her adventures documented on her blog, Mama India, Wandering Child.
I wanted the banner to have a fun, childlike feel along with India street, circusY life. India is an amazing place — especially for photographers and artists. Endless inspiration. I feel like I could have worked on this for a long time, adding more and creating different versions. Therefore, it was nice to have a quick turnaround on it so that I couldn’t keep noodling it. I think it turned out fun though, and it got me even more jazzed to focus on our Chai Pilgrimage book this winter.
Safe and beautiful travels you three!!!

Hi Jenny,
Well, we are here and it is just wonderful to be back. We are all very tired but so happy to be HOME again. I hope you three had the chance to come back when Tulsi is small, I think it is a great experience for Arun. So far he loves all the attention and meeting old friends. Thanks again for the beautiful work!!! We will be thinking of you during our journey!

It’s not just a beautiful illustration – it is so much traveling mood and inspiration in this banner… It has made me wondering about that blog

thanks for your message, Luli. i am so very fortunate to be at home with Tulsi AND keep making art. it is challenging sometimes (i end up working late most nights) but it’s also getting easier, too. i’m also lucky my husband can take time off sometimes to be with Tulsi so I can work, too. thanks for visiting and saying hello from Buenos Aires! are you an artist also?
