About Young Yogi and the Mind Monsters Il·lustració de Llibre
Young Yogi and the Mind Monsters és un conjunt d'il·lustracions creades per a un llibre infantil il·lustrat sobre els clàssics Yoga Sutres de Patanjali. Les il·lustracions presenten l'antiga filosofia del ioga a través dels ulls d'un infant, amb colors vius i composicions senzilles inspirades en l'art popular indi. Escenes oníriques mostren com la ment dona forma a la realitat i com la percepció pot canviar. Cada dibuix es va fer a llapis sobre paper i després es va acolorir amb programari digital. El llibre imprès mesura 205 per 205 mil·límetres i conté 101 pàgines.

- Production Technology
- Kaori read the script and came up with sketches of all the characters with the writer's direction. When the designs were approved, the artist sketched the storyboard for each chapter. Then she created illustrations in pencils and papers and colored them in Photoshop and Illustrator.
- Design Challenge
- Since it was a collaboration with a writer, the artist had to imagine what the writer is imagining. But she was very open to what the artist brought to the table and worked beautifully together.
- Research
- Kaori read Patanjali's Yoga Sutras and study Yoga philosophy and Indian culture and art. She also tested her illustrations using a different medium to achieve the right feel for the story.
- Inspiration
- A whimsical story, "Young Yogi and the Mind Monsters," was written by Sonja Radvila to understand the rich, ancient, and mind-bending philosophy of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. The story is filled with colorful visual and profound questions about how the mind works. As an illustrator interested in Yoga Sutras' philosophy and meditation, it was easy for Kaori to imagine each scene with a clear image.
- Project Duration
- The writer approached the artist in 2015, and they have started working on character designs. With many backs and forth and story changes, Kaori wrapped up the illustrations in 2018. With crowdfunding, the writer found a publisher to publish the books.
- Operation Flow
- The writer pitched to a crowdfunding website called Publishizer, and Atmosphere Press published it. They are sold worldwide on Amazon and Barnes and Noble etc.
