Hey there, I’m back!
After a pause to rest, to think about what else I could do besides bugs, and to have a lot of originals on paper. This cycle will visit 52 countries, to bring crumbs of their folklore as weekly illustrations. I have added a little explanation of the elements on each illo here along with my motivation.
As you might imagine for the hint above, this week myth comes from Japan. It’s inspired by the Japanese believe that objects can also adquiere spirits. One in particular, the Chōchin’obake, a lantern with spirit.
I posted the paper draft a long time ago on Tumblr, all the upcoming creatures are there or will be soon. But you may want to stay on this blog to see the digital versions arrive little by little without spoilers 😉
See you next week!
