I’m so glad I closed 2023 with this.

I really enjoyed the Bound Publishing Course. The way the course has been structured shows the amount of hard work the team has put into it to make it an exceptional course. The graded assignments made me step out of a set framework and think differently. It’s a super course and I hope it just gets even better over time.

A gorgeous show of Christian art
After a gap of 11 years, artist Paul Bhonsle had a showing of his Christian iconographic art works. This was also the right time for him to revisit the need for restoring the mural, Odyssey of Faith he painted in 2009.
The passing years have taken its toll on the wall, and the mural painted on it has faded. Now Paul wants to enhance the painting to give it a sense of permanence. He feels the best way to do it is to turn it into a mosaic.
Previously he was painting in the surrealistic style, with a lot of texture. Over time, he has borrowed a lot from Hinduism, ta**ra and meditation as well.
